My ocd makes me sex averse because I’m afraid of having sex with a man who watches porn because he was looking at other people’s buttholes all day, and he’s trying to turn me into a stepford wife because xys are evil and trying to pretend they love us so they can turn us all into automatons to make sure everyone obeys the simulation. It’s the prisoner’s dilemma, rokos basilisk, and I won’t cooperate so I won’t get the prize of affection. The only way to cope would be to become an automaton, but it’s more terrifying to risk becoming an automaton by having sex. It’s more comforting to read Valerie Solanas just in case. Nothing helps my ocd except staying away from other people mostly because they’re programmed by the simulation and they all want everyone else to be automatons like them and stare at random buttholes while they kiss each other.
The rituals and tics are nothing compared to the obsessive thoughts that are difficult, if not impossible to disprove.
My ocd is in the forms of compulsive thoughts , you don’t see it from the outside cuz it doesn’t effect me physically anymore it did when I was a kid but now they’re thoughts and it’s so exhausting
I have OCD. It does affect most of my daily life. My brain is always deciding what is safe and what isn’t. Somethings are considered dirty and others not. I don’t obsessively clean but I feel compelled to avoid things. Like touching the bin, the floor or an animal because I know I’ll have to wash my hands after. It’s not I’m affair of getting ill, I don’t like the thoughts of imagining the germs crawling on my skin and being transferred to everything I touch. I know some of the things are irrational but it’s also in some sense according to my mind not as there is genuinely germs everywhere. The pandemic has only intensified this.
OCD recovery is about accepting the possibility that everything you fear – especially your deepest fears which drive your OCD obsessions and compulsions – may well come true. It is about accepting that you can never be certain of this. OCD is about an intolerance of uncertainty and to recover you’re going to have to accept that you will never ever know with 100% certainty whether the things you fear will happen or not. Only then can you begin to liberate yourself. This indeed feels uncomfortable at first, but in doing this (through ERP, exposure scripts etc) you actually get at the core mechanism of the condition. Once you accept the uncertainty through ERP (exposure – response prevention), and pair that with a commitment to mindfulness practice as well as a commitment to understanding the nature of the mind and therefore the condition itself, you have a powerful cocktail in liberating yourself from the powerful shackles of this condition.
1. When you have nearly all the common behaviors of OCD. (Mentally, physically) 2. When OCD has nearly affected you every on single second/minute, and you feel like it’s occupied almost your whole life. 3. When you’re in the middle of gradually getting better from your symptoms, and it suddenly becomes severe again.🙂
Guys how do I overcome this?!?!? please… I need help!!! I cant live like this, please help me. I'm suffering with this OCD sh1t and I keep wasting a lot of time. Please!! I'm suffering!!! I can't anymore… arghhh my brain, it hurts😫😣😩
Mine is very different mine starts after im emotionally hurt or insulted and when im shocked and the most terrible one is after some event that im frightend….im so alone
i've always felt i was the only one who was suffering and had everyone else laughing at me behind my back….. and that came upon by toxic people over the years
All these 'suffering' from OCD stories…. use your perceieved weakness as a strength. I can focus on any task I wish for as long as I wish, my productivity is insane. Learn to love your gift and apply it constructively. Be mindful of the retarded repetitive habits and keep them in check, learn actual self dicipline and be mindful… you have the potential to crush everyday with unlimited productivity… You might not want to hear that advice but there it is. Own it, make life your b*tch and prosper beyond your wildest dreams. Finally, quit acting like a victim only then can you stop being one…
my ocd was caused by my environment. its unfortunate that people are sadistic. i'm glad i was born but i was set up to fail in life. remember that we all have free will, believe that you can gain control over your life and your mind. the outside world is chaos, stop trying to control it and those who fucked up your mind in the first place. find solace in controlling yourself in productive ways, so that you go places you actually desire. if you no longer need your tormentors, they lose all of their power. stand on your own and your mind will become free.
I guess I got an OCD cause of my acne, the fact I never touched my face and when I accidentally did touch my face I panicked trying to find restrooms in public or bathroom in my home so that I can obsessively wash my hands. I also have germaphobia caused by my acne during high school at freshman year. But the fact my mother calls me crazy because I wash my hands often and I don't want any of my stuff dirty that I touch and use often made me upset or frustrated.
One example is when I cleaned my hands often no matter if its cleaned or dirty its just I am obsessed with clean stuffs and its satisfying to see my hands clean.
I’m amazed by the lack of videos about pure o ocd my compulsions aren’t visible…and I can’t so easily do something instead of ruminating cause I can’t even noticed it sometimes
i have this thing where when i touch something it doesnt feel fight so i will do it over and over again but whenever i try to tell people they say "well stop or u will end up crazy and possessive." i feel alone and idk if it happens to anyone else.please reply if you do.
i can not stay in my room without locking the door and i don't have one eyebrow because i picked it all out with tweezers i dodge things like velvet and peach because the texture makes me feel like i have to do the reverse version and it drives me crazy i remember throwing a peach across the room because everywhere i touch it should be reversed and i couldn't do it (playing with my non existent brow and eating my inner lips and cheeks while writing this lol)
To me OCD is the world's most toughest disorder, who agrees with me
Solution to OCD = focus on said task
Me in ADHD 😳😅

Leonardo slow clapping
I'll trade you my agoraphobia for your OCD.
OCD and someplace on the spectrum of Tourettes often go hand in hand
i wish i didn't understand what it's like to have ocd, but this is what my life is like when nobody's watching:(
what it is the movie with Leo Dicaprio ?
1. When you have nearly all the common behaviors of OCD. (Mentally, physically)
2. When OCD has nearly affected you every on single second/minute, and you feel like it’s occupied almost your whole life.
3. When you’re in the middle of gradually getting better from your symptoms, and it suddenly becomes severe again.🙂
The series Monk was my introduction to the mild part of it.

Awe snap out it will ya!

I pull my hair all the time thinking I am losing it. Its is a symptom of it. Don't do it.
I struggle with OCD for almost than 3 years but I feel I got better now thanks to my mind.i can control that now.dont give up..
I hope when I die, this disease leave me in after life.
I have pure O with trichotillomania which is the worst
I don't have ocd but this relates too much

I don't think I have any mental disorders, yet I have the worst thing out there – chronic loneliness.
P.s. Write me if you need to talk

Suffering from ocd for 14 years. It has ruined my life.
i have this thing where when i touch something it doesnt feel fight so i will do it over and over again but whenever i try to tell people they say "well stop or u will end up crazy and possessive." i feel alone and idk if it happens to anyone else.please reply if you do.
Ocd acts like a bully.
Sometimes you can’t even tell a person has ocd. There are mental compulsions too. Like reassuring yourself, repeating phrases, and counting.
i have pure o
You need to narrate online educational courses because you are so enthusiastic about your content. Students would get A's who agrees with me?
