I have ocd. Is there anyone out there like me?!


Question: i have been diagnosed with ocd because I have repetitive intrusive thoughts. I take prozac to help with this. Most of the thoughts that I have are bad thoughts about myself like I'm selfish, or a nasty person. I always have to have constant reassurance about myself so that leads me to ask others "Do you think I'm....." or I will talk about my problems. Some people think that I'm self absorbed because of this....mainly my mom because she doesnt understand that I cant help going in circles. I know that these thoughts arnt true but sometimes I just get stuck in a loop and go over and over these nasty thoughts. What can I do to get my self confidence back? How can I live with OCD and still lead a happy fullfilling life? Is there anyone out there like me who just has the obsessive thoughts and not so much of the rituals? PLEASE HELP ME!! I dont want to feel alone anymore.

don't worry.
you can't let people bother you.
i have ocd.
badly.
i'm gong to be honest.
you have to stop feeling bad for yourself and make **** happen for you.
i was the same person you were.
but i had a friend say "get the **** over it, your not goign to let that o-c something bullshit take you over are you?"
and i knew right then it was time i take control of ocd not let that take control of me.
hope i helped you.



i still perform all my rituals i have from ocd.
just less and less each month.
i ease my way into this.
soon and i'll be alright again!



good luckkk
:]

God, he is waiting for you to ask for his help

that's the ONLY permanent cure.....

Dont be afraid

who gives a **** what people say about you....ingnore them because people like that are just stuck up assholes who deserve no spot in this world :)

You're not alone.
Don't worry.

All the best. <3

if it makes you feel better, there is a little bit of ocd in everybody. i know that when i pick somthing up then put it down i feel like there is something on my fingertip so i take my thumbs and swipe it over my fingers. I also cannot stand when i am in bed and one side of the comforter is shorter than the other side. my sisters boyfriend always has to have hairties on his wrist. dont feel bad about this. you are a perfectly normal person and dont let anyone make you feel like you are kreaky because i know lots of people who are my friends with ocd. hope this advide helps.

You should follow up with a therapist.
It is very hard to deal with things like that on your own.

MY OCD is not that bad... some examples:

I have to smell every piece of clothes when I am folding the laundry.
When putting gas on my car I have to end with exact numbers like: 45:45 or 45:00 - Or else I am annoyed all day and cant stop thinking about it.
I HAVE to desinfect my toilets before I go to bed everyday

It eases over time, and to the guy above me, sorry, it was me that gave you the thumbs down, I clicked it by accident, I meant to give you a thumbs up like you deserve.
