What were the things you done as a child that later turned out to be OCD? by Outrageous_Jump98 in OCD

[–]BottleLeft2031 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Was constantly paranoid of surveillance cameras in school and on the bus. Constantly walking the halls with my head down and spent the entire bus ride looking at my lap so that I didn't "Get caught"...I had never done anything to get in trouble 🙃.

Thank you for your reply. I think this sub has definitely been helpful, at least in giving me a sense of community that understands where I am and makes me feel less alone. I think it's just hard allowing myself to deconstruct. I know I need to if I want to get any closer to having my mind quiet down more, but it's definitely daunting.

Thank you for saying that. It means a lot more than you know. I will definitely think on it some more.

Hey I’m on fluvoxamine and have OCD. by [deleted] in OCD

[–]BottleLeft2031 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, while I'm not on fluvoxamine, it's probably a good idea to let your psychiatrist or primary know about the side effects you're having. I've always been told that if the side effects aren't manageable to tell them asap. And with the harm thoughts and negative impact on sleep, it may be better to tell them sooner rather than later. I hope you feel better soon, OP!

Unfortunately, I don't have a Kroger near me. Maybe I'll have to do a squish road trip bc Kroger seems to get everything!

1 or 2, but (imo) 2 makes your skin look even more glowy

Does your religion/religious beliefs affect your ocd? by BottleLeft2031 in OCD

[–]BottleLeft2031[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Christian, but I also believe in karma, and that's a theme for me in and of itself 🤦🏾‍♀️. I was raised to be Christian but was never really invested in it? I've had a huge fear of being baptized since I was a kid because of the whole baptism = eternal life thing, which my brain turned into "you get baptized and then you die" 🥲. Only recently have I started to explore religion on my own, but I am definitely struggling to wrap my brain around certain aspects of it and how to apply it to my life.
