OCD is ruining my life.

[@kelleydoes]

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.

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!
