“That terrible horrible broken hopeless terrified ocd feeling” I’ve never been able to describe it before but that’s spot on. I’m hoping meds can get me to the point where it’s not soul crushing

I get stuck here! Because this leads me to be stressed out all the time, and then there’s that magical moment where I’m correct and get sick and it almost confirms the fear and it feels like there’s not a way out

This has been so so true for me. I’m cheating but ignoring that fact because the alternative is hard. Thank you for putting words to it

So basically agree with the OCD but dont do the compulsion. Is this correct?

My thoughts aren’t keeping things clean. Mine are purely 0 and have been tormenting me for 30 years. I’m knee deep in a OCD storm as we speak . Prayers for all of us

what about this embracing of discomfort from those suffering rocd and have become numb to all thoughts that were distressing

so are you just in intense discomfort until...what? does it slowly go away? how long does it take until youre not in horrible discomfort from resisting all the time? is there a general timeline?

"maybe" is the go-to. can't self-reassure, can't pretend it's not a fear you're having, have to put your hands up and say, that thing I'm afraid of may or may not happen.

What about OCD without compulsions? Sensorimotor OCD specifically 😌

Not sure if I could ever do this. OCD runs deep in my family and it’s been a battle.

Harm ocd here. I stopped googling. But I don’t know how to deal with the discomfort. It’s a horrible and stressful feeling for me. I’m so so upset

GOB II :
The best thing that works for me is really digging into whatever that stress/panic internal thought process is and then mocking it heavily. I usually say it out loud and then say it out loud again but make it a little worse or slightly exaggerated, then I'll repeat until it sounds crazy enough to just laugh at and then it usually dissipates fairly quickly. Also if I catch myself worrying about being really efficient about something relatively meaningless (an example for myself would be trying to tidy up everything in the living room without doubling back much or going to the same room/place several times), I'll just talk myself through it out loud and be extra inefficient and take one single item at a time, just try to "stick it to the man", the man being that internal Obsessive or Controlling thought process of course. On a side note, I have recently found your videos and they are very helpful, so thank you :)

this is tricky with sexual obsessions, because my distress level gets so high to the point where my life is in danger
