Hi I am new here. Looking for a friend with the same ocd relations to me. I’ve been struggling with checking OCD for a while now. It includes things like checking my social media feed because I am scared I shared something inappropriate, and even rereading messages, emails, or anything I write thinking I said something bad. Does anyone else struggle with this? It’s became part of my life now and i hate it
I don’t check social media like you do, but I tend to check a lot! I check a lot of my feelings, my worries surround attraction so I tend to check whether I’m attracted a lot and I check my own bodily feelings a lot. It gets tiring but I completely understand where you’re coming from lol
I feel the same sometimes! Even though I KNOW i didn’t post something I go back to check to make sure. What I’ve been trying to do is to ignore that compulsion. Just keep scrolling and eventually that weird feeling goes away.
any way to help stop doing compulsions checking? I check my social media, messages on any platform, etc alot. Right now I feel like checking messages which I know weren’t some good things I did on a gaming app that I haven’t checked yet. Should I check or just leave the past in the past? How do i stop rechecking stuff or thinking of new things to check?
hey everyone. i’m not sure if this app will help me or not, but i feel the need to try anything because i can’t keep living like this. i struggle with obsessing over everything in my life. it feels like everyday my brain picks a new thing in my life to obsess over. for the past couple days ive been obsessing over my interpersonal relationships. for example; “do i like the people im with” “do i like my friends as more than just friends” “do i actually love these people or am i lying to everyone”. it’s been really messing with me and making me question my support system. i can’t stop stressing. i’m even afraid to talk about it with my therapist because i have those thoughts about her too. i’m new to my OCD diagnosis (got diagnosed last month) i was hospitalized for a week because i couldn’t function. i also obsess over my sexuality and nothing i pick for me ever feels quite right. i recently started a relationship with someone who’s trans, so maybe that’s why? does anyone else go through this? my brain tries to convince me that i do this to myself and that im making it all up. but who would want to feel this way? uggghhh
