Kind of, yeah. That's the thing. We're not supposed to fight our thoughts. We're supposed to just, shrug them off, and let them be on their way. But people forget that, and start fighting their thoughts. And of course you can't fight your own thought, so we end up struggling

One day, I had such bad anxiety. My body and mind kept telling me "Give me an answer! Tell me I'm okay!" and I sat with the anxiety as badly as I wanted to do something about it. And it went away eventually. It was scary. But sometimes I get frustrated or have anxiety and it feels too hard not to give in to a mental compulsion. Then I try to think "It doesn't matter" even though I know I gave into that compulsion. It's so hard though! I hate uncertainty so much sometimes. Especially with intrusive thoughts it's hard to let go of that.

I have had harm OCD for few years now (29 tomorrow), the first 3 or 4 years was absolutely horrifying and still mostly is but I had a good 2.5 years in between and felt so good after going to NOCD for therapy and then months later met the love of my life. A couple months ago I started stressing out very hard over finances and college and everything else but I wasn't aware of how much this was affecting me, I just kept grinding. I hit a wall.Something triggered my old themes again and it felt like the breathe was ripped out of my lungs and I ran outside to get air immediately. I am now very open about my OCD with my friends because they have seen me through for many years and have always been so supportive to me. But sometimes the thoughts become so violent and can be almost random to random people I see. It worries me that it's not OCD because it's not always about people I love. I start doubting everything about myself, who I am and I say that on a deeper level than just questioning but to the point I will even start memory fishing to see if I can even remember who I am ( I know who I am but it's like I have to know for sure). I will even doubt if I have ever cared about anyone or anything in my life even though I cry when im in heart to heart conversations or my best friend hugs me when I'm down. I'll even question if I was genuinely crying or was I faking it to seem like I had feelings which I know is honestly just bs but I still can't help but wonder. Depression and OCD build on each other it seems to me and it becomes a hard spiral at times. Hopefully someone can connect with this as well but at the same time I hope no one really can because this is so distressing and hard to live with.

I had the compulsion to check the mail for a while... I think at the time I was checking the mailbox 15-20 times a day even when I knew the mailbox was empty. I don't do it anymore but apparently the postie got pretty used to me doing it and thought I moved out when I started working on not checking the mailbox as often 😂

I think I may have OCD, but the obsessive thoughts seem to be around what I fear people think of me, sometimes I obsess over age, when I see people I often instantly have some sad thought about them being lonely or something which I have no actual clue about. Also if I try do any of my hobbies I instantly get this obsession over am I immature, am I pathetic, what would people think, am I wasting my time, why can't I feel happy about them anymore? and it's just kind of robbed me of everything I once loved. I find myself often trying to secretly seek reassurance from people by asking "am I immature for wanting to curl up with my wife on the sofa?" really ridiculous things, I also find that I often google the thought's I'm suffering with in some strange hope to try find "the answer" it feels like something that isn't me is wrapped around my thoughts, and if I just find this one answer it'll solve everything and I'll be free, but I never can quite find it, but when I try just accept what the thoughts are telling me like "okay yeah you win I'm immature, I'm selfish" then the thoughts do vanish, but then while I'm trying to concentrate I have this constant feeling in my stomach. Really starting to get me down, it seems to have only recently flared up and done a number on me! I realise I'm probably carrying out a compulsion right now just typing this trying to seek some kind of reassurance that it's not just me going through it :D

Hi Nathan, I have a question🙌🏻 is it normal for the anxiety in the ocd to fluctuate?? Some days I may be crying of frustration because of the issue and other days it goes doooown. The fear is present but some days I am much more accepting of it and it doesn’t bother me as much. I think I may not have ocd at all and then that worries me too.
@DaisyVanEgmond Жыл бұрын
I have it! Everyday is different and mood changes throughout the day. Sometimes my ocd and anxiety feels gone but then they come back throughout the day. On some days I feel frustrated super anxious and crying about it and some days I can handle it. I would say before my period and on my period is worse! It’s OCD and ocd is a type of anxiety!

@@DaisyVanEgmond Im glad to know I’m not alone on this. It’s the same case for me! The day before I got my period I got super sad and started crying so much about it, but when I realize I had my period, my emotions felt so invalidated; as if I was crying just because of my hormones and not an actual issue. I’ve been obsessing ABOUT having ocd or not and it isn’t easy. Only ones who suffer with the condition understand

I definitely feel this! Sometimes I will feel like I have a total grasp on things (which feels amazing), but then I will lose the grasp for whatever reason. Then I just get very frustrated and it almost feels like the frustration makes things worse. It’s like a constant battle with your mind.

I am like this, I can be good for a good while, do too much, have a breakdown because something triggered a panic attack, I'd pace the floors , I'd isolate, I analyse, I then burst into tears because I'm exhausted from it all. Thennnn after a few weeks of in and out of a terrible state, I start to feel at ease, it's still there, but I just don't feel like battling it, I say to myself I probably am a bad person but what can I do, nothing so I'm just going to get on with things

I Pray that you’ll see this comment. For the past 2 years I’ve been struggling with this obsessive thought telling me that I’ve lost my sense of self. That I’ve lost my personality. That I’ve lost my identity. It started when I was obsessed with social media during quarantine and entered into a phase of depression. At that point I couldn’t keep up a conversation with my friends and I just felt like I couldn’t talk to them really. I was also away from my faith at the time due to the addiction so I wasn’t really connected to Jesus. Although I’m back on track with God now and I’m doing much better, I still have these thoughts and often believe them although they were never true. God even revealed to me that those thoughts in my head are lies but I keep clinging to them. Do you have any advice? Please reply. Jesus and God Bless you❤️Keep on doing God’s Work.

I was having these thoughts when i was 12 and I started praying to my (Waheguru) God. Actually I belong to sikhism religion, so basically when i started praying to god when i was 14 then I completely forget about these thoughts and my intrusive thoughts hardly came up but now when i am about to turn 17 these thoughts again showed up as i was going through a stressful experience in my life but praying to god really helps me in this and bro my ocd is harm related earlier it was religious one…stay strong bro I even fear what if i bite my tongue but i manage to not to do it stay strong its just all in our mind it’ll never be real… and stop being anxious as even the thoughts come and say come bro you can’t scare me i know It’s not me who is thinking its just negativity forcing me to think all this. At the end be strong

@thephilosophermma8449 Жыл бұрын
@OCD and Anxiety How do I break the cycle of anxiety about anxiety? My anxiety is entirely about anxiety. It didn't start that way - I got over what initially triggered it, but now I have been left with a fear of anxiety. This is really annoying, I almost feel like if I was never officially diagnosed with anxiety, I would never have had this problem. For example, I'll start worrying about the horrible stress and feelings that anxiety brings, which will then make me anxious. Then I'll repeat the cycle of forgetting about how I was feeling, then randomly remembering that I was feeling anxious, then start feeling bad again. This happens over and over until I can go a while without it being on my mind, and then the cycle starts to subside. This could take a day, or weeks. It lingers for longer than necessary because when I wake up I immediately recall that I've been feeling bad on the previous day, which starts the cycle as soon as my day begins; this isn't even a conscious thing, I think my brain has just been conditioned to do it automatically when I wake up. I feel like the key is to just accept and not care that I've been feeling bad recently, but how can I do that? I start feeling bad almost immediately after I recall that I've been feeling bad. It's like an automatic process. I'm completely aware that my thinking is irrational, but it doesn't really help me stop it.

I’ve been stuck in a similar loop in the mornings when I wake up. It’s been really bad since my mom passed away in February. There’s this small window right when I wake up where I have not remembered that I am sad and depressed about losing her. I get a few seconds, just a moment until I start thinking about all the things I need to do to close out her life. Doing anything in this regard makes me miss her and also question and feel guilty about how good of a daughter I was. I want to crawl under a rock and stay there to hide but there’s no hiding from my thoughts. It’s a trap that I have not figured out how to avoid.
