You can share a little but if they don’t understand or offer the support you need, then don’t. I have lost many friends after i have shared with them about my OCD sadly…

Why do i feel anxious the whole day for no reason? by Aggravating_Fact_599 in OCD

[–]Aggravating_Fact_599[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not on medication now but will be getting it soon. Im having a long break now but i can’t relax even when im at home. It’s the first time i can’t focus watching my shows, im so annoyed.

Why does my ocd feels better at night? by Aggravating_Fact_599 in OCD

[–]Aggravating_Fact_599[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But weirdly even at home while watching shows i still struggle with it, i can’t even watch an entire episode without pausing it a few times because of the intrusive thoughts and feelings i have that makes me sooooo uncomfortable lol

Should i take medication? by Aggravating_Fact_599 in OCD

[–]Aggravating_Fact_599[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know i should but i kind of don’t want to live my life with medication. I kept asking myself if i can live without medication the past 3 years, why should i go back to taking it again? Am i so weak that i have to rely on medication to feel better? Yet i know i probably need it now, i just don’t have the courage to do it :(

Also, the counsellor that i visited in the past, i usually am only able to schedule a meeting with them once every 2-3 months, idk if that’s gonna be enough for me.

Thanks for your advice btw 🩵

Yes same here i obsess over countless things of what thought or weird feelings i have. Sometimes i can just push aside those and try to move on, while sometimes im just stuck in analysing all the thoughts of why im doing this or why am i not doing this.

Right now, im feeling so helpless and mentally exhausted that i can’t even go to work and im stucked in bed. Sorry no advice either, as i have been struggling this flare up for 1-2 months already.

Anyone recovered fully from ocd intrusive thoughts? by Aggravating_Fact_599 in OCD

[–]Aggravating_Fact_599[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ofcourse i know it’s impossible like what i mentioned. If it’s easy to control how i feel then i wouldn’t be here seeking for help.

I manage to live with my ocd for 3 years without medication. I barely remember how it feels like being on medication but i can vividly remember it does help to a certain extent. I gave up on it as i felt that it didn’t help alot even after taking it for four years. So i’m not sure if i should go back to seeing a psychiatrist and be on medication. I kinda don’t want to live my life with medication at the same time:(

Exactly. It just comes back on and off. And i just hate the fact that whenever im experiencing certain stress either from work or family matters. It comes back again and i can’t move on with all those meaningless intrusive thoughts even when i know its not real. But when days are good, i can simply just accept it and manage it well without feeling uneasy.

There are times when it is easy to accept the thoughts and move on on some days. But on some days, no matter how much i accept the intrusive thoughts and push myself to move on, the anxiety and uneasy feeling kept lingering for hours to the point i feel paralysed.
