@helpfulgal I totally get you. I struggle with the same thing. Just to add something else that helped me, my therapist worked with me on identifying what is most likely to happen, and what’s the worst that can happen so when I made a list of what is most likely to happen, it totally didn’t relate to what was the worst that can happen. Just som…Read More

Hi. I’m wondering if anyone experiences this or has any ideas or tips on this. I get anxious very easily by what goes on at home. Every thing that happens that has to do with my siblings/ parents or I hear about, I get stressed out or nervous and anxious about it. For example, when a family member is having a procedure, I get very nervous about i…Read More

Yes definitely doesn’t always work for me.
Gosh, this makes absolutely no sense… it’s like saying that if I don’t do A, then B, something totally unrelated will happen. I know it’s totally irrational, but a part of me is saying “maybe, maybe, you don’t know.”
Yes wow totally feel this. And sometimes I’m just like thinking about it and I question…Read More

I know I keep responding to this a lot, but when I saw your comment I literally felt that this was me speaking. I cannot express how much I understand you and literally am struggling with that exactly. For me, when I have the thought that I need to do that thing, instantly my brain connects something that seems so not connected into something…Read More

also, I feel that depression is more of a spoken topic and people say a lot you got this and your not alone. But OCD is also really hard. And yes as Chavy said the harm thoughts are terrifying and I feel literally 2 voices in my head. I wish there was more awareness to people that 1. OCD is not what many people think it is- wanting to have a clean…Read More

Hi. I have a lot of self doubt so I wanted to get some clarity on this.
I started therapy a few months ago. Before each session, I get super nervous. (probably because of my general anxiety) once I’m there, I’m really relieved and I feel totally comfortable. But is it normal to feel nervous before the session? Also, I really like my therapist. She…Read Moremlove replied to the topic Talking about OCD in the forum Anxiety
I totally feel you as I struggle from it as well. I know I’m the one who just posted about it, and I’d also love if other people talk about it more

Thank you Chavy. That is really helpful. It’s nice to know I’m not alone, as I don’t really see that people talk about it a lot. And I’m glad it helps you to know your not alone. Thanks so much for the tips and I will try them

Hi. I have ocd and it’s very difficult. No, I’m not talking about fake ocd that people use as an adjective. Real ocd with intrusive and horrible thoughts. It’s actual torture. People who have ocd know what I’m talking about. Can anyone give some encouragement? I do have a therapist but I also want to know if anyone here who has ocd can share w…Read More
