Hey..
My OCD gets very very bad when im in a terrible mood Like Yesterday i was convinced touching a certain thing in my room had made everything go wrong ..so i Had to keep touching it until i felt better to try and kind of make it go back If that makes sense : S
Tbh i am starting to get convinced OCD is true..Like if i dont do certain things then things will go bad.Because they do ??
Also touching certain thing so make me feel bad and do make things go wrong thats why i have to retouch them over and over again at the momment things feel better when i touch them 11 times :/ numbers like 6 or 7 or 4 i find quite disgusting. >: (

Does anybody else feel like this..?

Hey LyDiaHate,

I totally know what you mean. I am mostly obsessive, but I have some compulsions in my life (such as checking to make sure I haven't lost anything), and it's very distressing. The worries feel very real. And personally, I couldn't get better without any professional help. Are you seeing a therapist? Because the specialized therapy for those with OCD...it's AMAZING. It saved my life, really. You get to learn the techniques in order to overcome your obsessions/compulsions. Have you ever heard of ERP?

You mention that you're starting to think your OCD is true. I think we all go through this....but it's not. It never is. It took me 5 hospital visits...being fooled several times, to realize this. OCD is VERY tricky, but please try to remember that it's never true.

I'm sorry you have to go through this. OCD really is a pain in the butt.

Ocd does play havoc with your mind. You feel if you don't do something over and over something bad will happen. I check and double check stuff. I, also, do the counting thing. I will read and reread something to make sure what I read. It is exhausting. I trade one bad compulsion and obsession for another. I have done this since I was five. I am want to break free. YUGH!!!
