@euphemialyraeyre8710 6 месяцев назад

I remember when I was younger, I kept getting these visual intrusive thoughts and I would always imagine it as a cinema screen or picture in my eyes and I would try to skip it or literally set it on fire and crush it down out of my mind or cover it up with a good image but it would always come back or corrupt the good thought, and I just tried so hard to destroy the image but it was so persistent, and I would just end up sitting there squirming my head and neck and scalp and blinking aggressively, but the more I tried the more resilient and pervasive it became.

@HarryAGeorgiou 6 месяцев назад

I hear you, sometimes I try to use my fingernail to try to take away my attention from such horrible scenes. I have found praying with gratitude to Christ God for the thought, not that He put it there but because of it I can think of Him

@yanaegg Месяц назад

I get this so much. My therapist recently told me that the more you have an intense reaction to compulsive thoughts, the more your brain will give you those thoughts. If you react more nonchalantly like "Oh those were some weird thoughts, but I'm not going to let it ruin my mood", and then continue on normally, then those thoughts won't come back as intensely. I've been trying this method out, I hope it helps both of us

@marimoon3542 Месяц назад

I feel so heard with this, I used to always think, "this feels invasive" and like it was corrupting my other thoughts. I love this comment section.

@HarryAndrewGeorgiou 28 дней назад

I find different prayer forms help, like I'm placing this thought before the presence of God's Love, if Jesus Christ on the Cross is happy it being there, I will allow it to be there, it often fades then, or saying that is good to know about something which is important to know about possible dangers @@dignifieddan.4198 . Do you have a therapist or sought out help for your medical health provider?

@FluffinWolffox105 6 месяцев назад

Thank you so much! My OCD is almost entirely mental, and this is really what I needed to put the situation into perspective and really start doing something about it. The last few days have been filled with non-stop thoughts and worry which was making me feel like all my fears were coming true. Arguing with it or shoving it out of mind was just making me feel like I knew the thoughts were true and just wanted to pretend they weren't. Pretty soon after I let them be and accepted them, I started to feel my mind get quiet and I was able to focus on other things. I was also able to remind myself that I really didn't need to figure out all my thoughts and feelings right then.

I do compulsions all the time, all mental. For example, the other day I saw my father after a year of not having spoken to him and I can't stop ruminating about what I said or didn't say to him, what I think about him... I do this with every single situation that is complicated or has many sides to it, feeling like I know nothing or have no opinion on the subject, which causes me to spiral with anxiety and worry

There should be some kind of OCD community to chat with. I honestly think it would help. I feel so lonely sometimes. NO ONE gets me. I don't even try explaining what goes on in my mind. Reading these comments gave me comfort. I know its a condition that is in me and maybe I'll always have it, but it doesnt define me. I'm much more than my OCD. I have moments where I'm "friends" with my OCD and moments where I hate it. Right now, it's my worst enemy. But if I hate it, then do I hate part of myself? Will I have OCD marks on my skin my whole life because I freakin can't stop picking my skin. It's so frustrating.

@laurenwils6377 Месяц назад

I felt this way for 15 years. I would just say I have anxiety but couldn’t express the specifics. I only recently started confronting the specifics and I really wish I had been brave enough to do this years ago. I only recently learned about ERP. Therapists were only telling me to imagine them as clouds going by which was impossible for me. But it was because I wasn’t in the right therapy. Didn’t know exactly what kind of anxiety to tell therapist etc.

@Pictor13 26 дней назад

Don't ask questions to confirm your fears. That's still OCD: confirmation seeking. Also, notice how your questions are rethorical. If you work on it, you can change things. Like with anything else. If not, you obviously will have consequences. The answer doesn't matter. You know it already. Btw, I've stopped biting my nails, suddenly, after 20 years telling myself I wasn't able to.

I got diagnosed with OCD since my teenage, spent my whole life fighting OCD. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.

@Paul_Michael 4 месяца назад

I don't know much about these mushrooms. Really need a reliable source!! Can't wait to get them

@AndrewLiam-lp5cj 4 месяца назад

From my experience it really works excellently! It doesnt even need to be a full hit. With potent shrooms 2-3 small ones will still make a clear difference. It will be a few hour cosy rumbling moment around rest time, but afterwards its just calm and you feel amazing and gain your freedom. Psilocybin is different dudes, its the only "treatment" I would recommend to someone who genuinely wants to get better. There is no addiction, withdrawal, or negative side effects. It's just pure healing., far more effective than any anti-depressant. You can thank me later,

@MarcWilliams-dz7ik 4 месяца назад

I was horrifically depressed since childhood. It was relentless. I assumed it would ultimately end me somehow. About twelve years ago I randomly accepted the offer from a friend of a few doses of mushrooms. I did them two consecutive nights alone. First night was pretty mild. The second night? Wow. I saw my depression from every angle, realized much. Next day: depression totally gone. Never came back, never coming back. It's like it's a forest far away I can remember, and could probably find again with enough effort, but it has zero impact on anything in my life or mind. They honestly saved my life and improved it immensely. I never did them again, either. I wish there was a good, organized way to administer them to people who would benefit from them.

@3cheeseup 6 месяцев назад

„Ruling out things“ also is a compulsion by the way. OCD will tell you that you need to be 100% sure about your health condition, but this is impossible. Whenever you give in and go to a doctor you will give confirmation to your OCD thoughts by acting on them.

@charlottesreadsthings211 6 месяцев назад

@@3cheeseup yeah it's a difficult balance between making sure you get a clean bill of health vs seeking reassurance. Mine all came from misdiagnosis from several doctors has led to health anxiety & a need for surgery so hard to believe it's likely "just anxiety". But I've been getting better at not seeking reassurance on that front.

@shubhankarsharma8705 5 месяцев назад

I guess unconditional self, life and other people's acceptance works great in that. You unconditionally accept the real events, the uncertain events or even the worst case scenarios, that trigger the fear response in you. You might not like the events you might not prefer them, you might feel discomfort cause of them, but you accept them as they happened or might have happened or will happen and accept that you can still live with it. It is not as awful as I fear it is. It's like facing the worst and still choosing to accept yourself, the other person or people and life in general as it is. UNCONDITIONALLY. Doesn't mean you are agreeing to the event, just accepting as it is. And hence realising you can still live this thing. When your fear around the proposed event decreases, the brain doesn't seem it necessary to ruminate over it.

@eltino49 7 дней назад

My mental compulsions comes from me saying something I normally, never did or do or that doesn't align with something I'd say. I want to stop it, but I can't because to battle it I programmed myself to say the opposite (something I'd actually say) regardless of when, when I'm listening to a song or whenever.

@blueflare3848 5 месяцев назад

Recently I’ve started to consider the possibility that I have pure obsessional OCD. It comes and goes, but there are times where I obsess over a thought for days to weeks to even months. I’m driven by an intense desire to convince myself of something, and I’m not satisfied until I have eliminated all uncertainty and doubt. They’re such insignificant things as well, which makes it all the more frustrating. I don’t understand why they bother me so much. During particularly bad episodes, I feel drained and mentally exhausted. It causes headaches and jaw pain (from being so tense). I’m going to talk to my doctor about it on Friday to get a second opinion.

@epic3548 2 месяца назад

'could this be Pure O or something else' ' I started to get this fearful feeling that something bad will happen at 16 years, even though I rationally I knew it wouldn't , whenever I would try to remember information .And to relieve myself of this feeling, my brain would involuntarily disrupt my concentration. And only then, after the disruption, will that bad feeling in my head go away, and I could be free of it. It's excuse was that because I've submerged my whole self into remembering, I am vulnerable to attacks on the outside (just like the avatar state) e.g something may fall on my head, or someone can slap me or do something evil e.t.c. It felt involuntary. So from then whenever I would try to recall information when doing an exam, my concentration kept getting disrupted and I couldn't really recall that information . It's been 9 years since and that OCD has only just grown stronger and morphed into some super thing, with more excuses that's now even a reflex action . I've not been able to think clearly since that moment , play sports well or even video games because almost everything you do requires sustained mental thought which I can't achieve . But still hoping for a cure?

@blackflyingfox3365 Месяц назад

People with Pure OCD can't tell anyone they have it because it WILL get misdiagnosed as Schizophrenia and they will get locked up in some horrible mental hospital with violent psychopaths roaming the halls. And forced to take powerful dopamine blockers. You will come out of there if you're lucky 500 times worse than how you went in. And they call that treating depression when in reality the person is so much worse now. The person coming out of there is now afraid to seek help for the even worse depression and for good reason. Would you seek help for depression after they made it even worse? If you turn to alcohol because of the anhedonia and depression caused by having the dopamine in your brain blocked they will just write you off as an alcoholic. And refuse to help you. Almost everyone will not understand what you are going through and will turn their back on you. It's a very isolating thing to go through. If you try to end your misery everyone will just chalk it up to something you were born with. They will refuse to believe the forced medication had anything to do with the worsening depression.

so if im playing games or watch stuff to the point im bearly sitting and almost faiting in front of computer, because im scared that if im stop ill have thoughts again it may be compulsion? or if i have them and im telling myself in my head "shut up its not true i dont want this shut up shut up shut up" for minutes its a compulsion?

There's absolutely no way i could ever do this. How could i sit comfortably with the thought that i might hurt someone? How can anyone embrace or shrug off a thought like that?

My OCD helped me to Ace exams... cause i'm so trained repeating something in my head as a compulsion, that sometimes i repeat what i've studied as a compulsion... funny uh?

ReIigious OCD here. Apologizing toGod too much. You know, for offensive in my head, or lying or giving excuses "to" Him (maybe to myself, I don't know). Offensive doubt of His plan, knowledge, or ways. Questioning Him. I mean, I don't say/think _"I'm sorry"_ or _"I apologize."_ I shorten it to _"For..._ [intrusive thought, dishonesty, excuse, doubt, disrespect/rebellion to check this woman out, etc]. It's overwheIming

My pure O since the last 20 years is that I saw my friend's dad died in an accident and his body was brought in their home the next day. I was probably 8 or 9 years old then. Ever since then it keeps putting my dad in that body's place and i get scared AF as I am very close to my dad and I have to distract myself from the image, but then it comes back again. I still havn't got rid of the compulsion and feel exhausted. Cud anyone suggest ways to overcome this?

You might have ocd about the feeling of anxiety it self and also uncertainty. I get that one sometimes. I just have this nasty feeling in my gut, that won’t go away. Maybe will last a couple of hours and than suddenly just goes away. But I find that practicing mindfulness is important. That way you can catch the thought or situation that caused the ocd cycle. In my case, mines get triggered by events and also the way I feel sometimes. Hope you can overcome this.

If I constantly think about most social interactions or embarrassing moments and spend a long time replaying them and trying to make sure I didn’t do anything wrong. Is that in-line with Pure-O?

It is difficult to stop changing/morphing thoughts into something normal, especially thoughts that include images of personal injuries or other things like that. Law of attraction beliefs might be the biggest cause of the anxiety. But it’s hard to get out of this. Any tips?

I don’t understand this at all. I have been trying to do this for years but I don’t understand the difference between ruminating and “inviting thoughts.”

You need a different medication. They all work differently for different people. Get on another medication asap.

@@laurenwils6377 Well it is better now. I just needed few months for Zoloft to kick in. Do you have some experiencing with alcohol during the medication period? I did drink one time and next I almost lost my mind...
