Does anyone else deal with a psychic ability with OCD ? It comes to me in visions thoughts and voices and a lot of the times I am correct on them just curious if that's my OCD or not??
Nicole Rafiee on YouTube has a YouTube video on this, she has ocd and she’s incredible. Would highly recommend.
I'm very hyper aware of myself too and that makes sense thank you.
I’ve actually talked to a few people off this app with OCD who felt like they had really strong intuition. While it’s not exactly the same as what you’re describing, it’s similar. These people came to realize, though, that it was OCD all along. They thought they had such accurate predictions, noticed so many little details, and planned things out so carefully. They were constantly overthinking and analyzing, which led them to feel like their intuition was on point. Me included. People often describe me as having a really strong, almost spiritual intuition, but I later realized it was just OCD. I’m super hyper-aware of myself and others. It’s funny because everyone I’ve spoken to who thought they had amazing intuition ended up realizing it was OCD too. It’s actually really possible, and it makes me laugh. It’s crazy that we all thought we were just insanely intuitive when, in reality, OCD just makes us so detail-oriented and hyper-observant. Our minds never really stop, so we end up noticing things that others might miss. Nature just feels extra predictable to us because of that. I’m not saying true intuition or psychic ability doesn’t exist, but with OCD, our brains are so overactive that it could contribute to what feels like strong intuition.
Are you on any medicines or anything that helps with this? I'm wanting help with it I see a therapist but I don't think it's enough
@chole43 Currently trying to figure out a medication that works for me. I’m too sensitive and have bad reactions but usually people have really good luck with SSRI’s. I’m trying a mood stabilizer right now. My sister is on Prozac, it works well for her. My friend is on Zoloft, also works for her. You should try to see a psychiatrist :) it can help, I’m just super sensitive so I haven’t found anything yet.
@issphra 🫶🏻 I have tried everything too and am really sensitive as well so I haven't found anything that helps with it yet either
@issphra 🫶🏻 One more question do you struggle with working? I have a really hard time at work with it all especially on down time
@chole43 I hope you find something soon, I hope we both do. I do struggle with working and school a lot. I have a lot of diagnoses unfortunately so there’s that. My ADHD plays a big role and an even bigger one in feeding my OCD or just making it trickier to manage.
@issphra 🫶🏻 I get that I've been diagnosed with schitzofrenia too and have been treating that and my anxiety
What helps with this?
