What's going on? You can talk to me about it if you want to
@needtoescapetheV0ID Yes please!!
@needtoescapetheV0ID Hey friend. Are you still here?
@Anony1314 - I'm sorry, that sounds really horrible to go through. OCD attacks what you value most, so this makes sense because you love and care about your children so much, and that must make the thoughts all the more terrifying. Groinal responses can be caused by various things, including anxiety, which can create a sort of awful cycle. Know that POCD arousal is not the same as sexual arousal—this is referred to as arousal non-concordance, and it’s a well-documented psychological phenomenon that is entirely distinct from sexual arousal. I know that that's probably not going to help much, though. OCD is irrational. I'm sorry I can't be of more help! :(
@needtoescapetheV0ID So you're unsure if I'm a monster or not friend? Do I need to turn myself in? I'm so sorry for asking this. I just feel like a terrible mother now
@needtoescapetheV0ID Sorry friend
@needtoescapetheV0ID Hey friend
@Anony1314 - You're not a monster, but OCD is!
@needtoescapetheV0ID So this is all OCD? Sorry I was confused when you said you were sorry you couldn't help more
@Anony1314 - I just meant because I can't do anything beyond trying to calm you down 🥲
@Anony1314 - Yes, OCD is just being mean to you pretty much
@needtoescapetheV0ID Thanks friend. Even though this all happened as I wrote it and felt very wanted? It's still my OCD
@needtoescapetheV0ID And sorry for asking something else
@needtoescapetheV0ID Just really struggling my friend
@Anony1314 - Wishing you well! :)
@needtoescapetheV0ID I'm okay although it all happened as I wrote it and it felt very real and wanted in the moment? Still OCD?
@needtoescapetheV0ID Hey friend!
@needtoescapetheV0ID Hey friend can you answer my question, or do you not want to friend?
I did SO well yesterday, but here I am struggling again.
I’m struggling so much, I don’t know what’s changed. I was doing so well for a solid two months and now it’s been over a month of just my lowest point. My bf has gotten upset at how much I do compulsions and it’s taxing him too. I can’t imagine how hard it is to be my partner right now. I feel exhausted I’m tired of my OCD finding new things to obsess or worry over. I’m so TIRED of getting stuck on technicalities. I’m so exhausted with the constant intrusive thoughts and intrusive thinking. I’m so sick of how compulsive I get when I’m so riddled with anxiety. I don’t want to keep pushing. It feels pointless if my life is going to be a constant loop of ups and extreme lows. I feel like such a disgusting, embarrassing person. I don’t want love because I don’t feel like I deserve it. I don’t want patience or understanding because it makes me feel so guilty. Like no one is understanding how bad of person I could truly be. I’m so lost and tired of this
(I apologize in advance for my bad punctuation and ongoing sentences, but i actually dont really care because it doesnt matter to me) Anywho, Im brand new to this app, been on it for just a few minutes now so im not really sure what im doing but i just needed to get it out that i am so extremely stressed with my life right now but its like my mind tries to convince me that im not stressed because i know everything will turn out fine in the future but then the thoughts of "what if it doesnt?" Start flooding in and all of my thoughts just start going back and forth and back and forth and im just so confused about everything that im doing everything i say or do right or wrong everything i do or say that can or maybe has affected people i just i feel like i hate myself so much after thinking all those things and working myself up over it all and then im just like, its gonna be okay tho in the end. AND THEN IT JUST STARTS ALL OVER AGAINF i cannot do this i cant continue suffering with all my thoughts just completely takinh over my mind and everything that i do. i think im so in control when i know im not. There are so many things going on in my life right now that i just feel like i have absolutely no control over, but i DO and easily have control over them, i just let myself believe that i dont, then i make it happen for some reason. I dont even know what else to say now that i just worked myself up into a sobbing spree. I am just so terrified.
