OCD is ruining my life.

[@brendanhoffmann8402]

I've got OCD. I was diagnosed in 2015. Find a therapist that you trust. It took me a very long time in therapy to improve. Be honest, take responsibility for yourself. You can beat it. A lot of people improve with treatment. I also recommend Prozac, I think it's the best medication for OCD (high dose). Try finding the emotional scars that caused you to develop OCD. For me it was having evil Dad and step dad who I couldn't kill but could obsess over. I still fall into obsession sometimes and pace the house for 20km a day but life is good finally.

Hang in there, Adam. OCD is a nightmare I wouldn’t will on anyone. I also struggle with moral scrupulosity, playing every interaction I have with others over and over and ruminating on my “mistakes.” Earlier last year, I was diagnosed bipolar ii and I went through a phase of feeling like emotions weren’t real, just a product of brain chemicals. When I was diagnosed with OCD, I went through a similar cycle but with my thoughts. Nothing that comes from my brain feels real, just a product of chemicals I have to regulate with medication. It’s a frustrating feeling to have, but the alternative without the medication is not an option for me. There are resources out there if you can access them. I hear ERP is amazing, but I am honestly nervous to seek it out (avoidance is a major compulsion of mine). I hope you are able to find some relief soon 💕

I dont have a job for the last 5 years because the obsessions got worse, I don't know what the future will bring me, at the moment I can't find any solution, the medication just helping me not to go crazy.

You can watch Mark De Jesus. He helps me a lot, i also struggle with ocd very much, it’s very exhausting and trying to steal every joy i have. You’re not alone. Hope you getting better within each step.

It's been 10 years. I hope I can just get used to the urge of all intrusive thought. Doing Erp without certain situations like in the course of exam is not that helpful. Also, I fear unnatural postures would bring my limbs or other parts of my body permanent damage. But when I overcame an unnatural posture, there are always many other rather specific or hard to replicate posture that I can't do erp on. And I would just easily imagine many more. So, I think erp is not for everyone.

I understand you completely... That's the type of OCD I have. But there is hope. I have found that i can control my OCD better with anti-psychotics. Talk to you healthcare professional.

my life also ruined by ocd. its just like u. its not typical ocd like like cleaning. my thoughts just repeating. every night i take 3-4 hours to fall asleep. my thoughts start repeating aboit past. thinking about future, about problems. n its the same thing every night even if i dont want to think about it its keep coming. i also need to fight though i i hate. its just come. everyting is repeating. when i walking sometime i need to walk backwar follow my step. i need to sit in specific way. i need ti do thing at least 2 times. 4 times ir 2 times is not enough n it goes to 8 n 16 times is the worse. im very quiet person. just to talk i afraid i will said something embarrassing. somtime make other hurt. yea. i dont have any friend. i just dont know wht to do. i just want to live normal like other person. i dont know day when i will feel happy with my life will come or not. ite feel so hard. n im still trying to do my best. im not give out. just i dont see the way. im trying for 15 years. but im still at the same place.

Can I give you some advice on what’s helped me recently with OCD. Being more in the moment. Whenever I start obsessing on a thought, I look around and try to notice 2 things I’ve never noticed before. This helps keep me in the moment. When you get the urge to do things 2,4,6,8,16 times, resist it and don’t do it. Overtime, your brain will learn to not give in. Time will help you get better, good luck and stay strong!

Best thing is you try one time without compulsion( it is difficult but try)then you will see changes in you

Try praying for healing from Jesus ask for forgiveness for the things you did to others. And accept forgiveness immediately don’t overthinking it. 1 John 1:9. Read believe it in your heart. That’s it you’ll see a change.
