hello, usually my thoughts are easily overcame. but last night and today, i've had urges. i think. im not sure if they really are, because i cant see thinking of children sexually as fun, nonetheless my brain is like "oh this sexual media would be so much more fun if it was a kid" and it feels as though its an urge, but it makes my chest feel tight and i dont like it. i feel like puking. im scared…
genuinely healing has been such a process, i now don't have constant intrusive anxious thoughts but my body is learning to regulate without them and get scared that this disorder that i held onto as a sort of need for survival not being there means i'm going to die. It's helpful i'm learning distress tolerance bit by bit but i actually weirdly think if I allow myself to become too happy i will die…
One of my friends had to cancel coming to the gym with me today. His first message was kind of unclear, so I asked him straight up what it meant, and then he finally said he couldn’t come. I said it was fine, and I apologized for my previous message because I was worried it sounded rude. He didn’t reply, and I felt a bit anxious. Then in a group chat we’re all in someone asked about what time…
Going out on a huge limb here by posting, but here it goes. I recently (about 1.5 months ago) began therapy twice a week for OCD through a popular OCD therapy platform. (I did not start this on my own. My normal therapist that I’ve been seeing weekly recommended I seek out more specialized care for OCD.) Since beginning treatment through this platform with two virtual sessions a week with a…
I’ve been having trouble lately distinguishing whether or not I’m having suicidal thoughts or suicidal OCD. I don’t want to die. I really don’t. But on some days, I just feel like nothing will get better. I was fine months ago but for the over the last month my anxiety and OCD symptoms have gotten significantly worse. I’ve developed more obsessions and compulsions that are hard to get rid of and…
I’m very scared I’m a bad person. I know I do selfish things. But I’m so so scared of the thought of being a bad person, I find myself narcissistic and think that no matter the situation I turn it inti myself being the victim I think I’m incredibly manipulative. When I was 15 I lost my virginity and after going to the police there was an investigation whether it was rape, me being the one raped.…
Hello! I suffer pretty bad OCD. I have typical symptoms, but I consider myself to be a pretty logical person despite it. I do things in numbers, but I know it's irrational and can stop even when it's bothering me. It is very different with my contamination ocd. I try, but it all just feels reasonable to me even if others say its not. A big one for me right now is spraying down where I put my towel…
YES THE FUCK WE DO!!! How did we go from "depression is a real disease, like any physical disease, not a quirk or a personality trait" to "neurodivergent people don't need treatment, it's just society that has to adapt to them"? I had to participate in a webinar about teaching and neurodivergence as part of my job today, and I was originally very excited about it — like, hey, visibility for…
What I mean by contagious is that if I read about someone else's compulsions or routines, there's a good chance I keep thinking about it and eventually start emulating those compulsions myself. When the possibility of me having OCD was first brought up, I started reading the book Because We Are Bad by Lily Bailey and had to stop because I started doing a lot of the things she was describing. On…
Especially with mental compulsions/rumination or trauma. Did you manage to complete it in the end? submitted by /u/ResidentNeat9570 [link] [comments]
