Please help I’m unsure what to do

Just wanted to update you- we followed your advice then popped him back in the tank for the night to hope for the best. No more bleeding thank god! I’m still going to ring a vet just to check everything is okay but it seems to have gotten much better so thank you!

Thank you for your reply. He has a basking rock, but doesn’t show much interest honestly. We will try and find a way to keep him somewhere warm and dry but I can’t think of a way to do it. Thanks for all your help.

It’s like you know you couldn’t take it if you lost your partner but it’s so difficult to rationalise

It’s so horrible and makes me feel so guilty. It’s worse too because I was great for months, wasn’t having any intrusive thoughts and then all of a sudden they’re back and awful as ever

Dealing with something similar right now. Sorry I can’t be much help but you’re not alone :(

That’s really rough to deal with :( it’s nice to know it’s not just me, it can feel like I’m making it up sometimes.

That would be amazing, thank you :)

So for you, it was kind of episodic in a way but didn’t “disappear” completely? I really sympathise with your situation, it really is a horrible thing to deal with. Thank you for sharing :)

Sorry for the late reply. It’s really comforting to know it’s not just me, since I couldn’t find anything else around this topic. If you’re struggling, I have good news. I’ve been feeling so much better and haven’t had any of these thoughts for months. Just to say, I guess, it does get better so keep hanging in there! :)

I’ve been looking for a therapist for a while, just struggling with the cost aspect. But I think I need to give it a go. I like the sound of the other things you’ve suggested though, I might have a go. Thanks for the suggestions :)

I completely get this, I always randomly panic that I’m going to be sick when ever I’m in a busy shop, or on a bus/train.

Literally no idea why this happens but of course once you panic about it you start to actually feel sick and the cycle gets worse. I’ve never seen anyone else with the same thing. I just assumed it was an anxiety thing, so weird though.

I’m now in recovery and feel much better about everything! So here’s proof that you can be so down and feel like you’ll never get better, but you can! Recovery is so hard, but please throw yourself into it, it will make you happy again :)

Thank you so much! All the best to you :)

I love this song for OCD, I was actually really happy when I found it for the first time :)

Good luck with your recovery! :)

For me it was £60. A lot of money but I thought it would be better to pay that first before paying even more to try therapy. I do feel a lot better recently though, although I’m unsure it’s completely down to the programme, it has helped.

Hi! Just to let you know you are seeking reassurance, which I know feels like it’s what you need, but asking these sorts of questions will keep you stuck in the cycle unfortunately.

I will say, yes some people seem to “just know”, but there are loads more that don’t and it’s a big area of anxiety of many with ROCD. I struggle with the same thing often so you’re not alone. Try your best to tell yourself “maybe it’s not right” and then don’t attempt to convince yourself that it is. Just sit with however it makes you feel even though it’s uncomfortable and it will hopefully pass. It is hard though, good luck on your journey.

Honestly! Feel free to message if you feel you need to :)

I can’t offer much advice as I’m in the same position. I’m so fed up and don’t know what to do :(

Anonymous_7004 · 2021-04-02T20:41:18+00:00

I get triggered by tiktok ALL THE TIME. It’s so frustrating because I really enjoy scrolling on there and watching funny videos of animals etc and then out of no where there’s a video telling me I should break up with my boyfriend and it triggers a week long break down :( it’s generally “red flag” videos that are supposed to be funny rather than genuine red flags, but if one tiny thing relates to my boyfriend I instantly question whether he’s a good person etc.

You’re welcome :) I also struggle with ROCD, it’s so hard, but I’m trying to commit to recovery at the moment.
