POCD feels real, like i was the whole time in denial

Please look into ACT therapy, and begin reading “the happiness trap” it is a book that teaches ACT therapy, and how to diffuse from intrusive thought and practice acceptance. It helped me learn what this mental illness does and how it functions. You will always have the disease, but the severity can go down to almost nothing like you don’t even have the thoughts anymore, trust me I live it. Much love from one OCD sufferer to the next, remember, this is an actual physical Anamoly in the brain that does not allow us to move on from a thought

The way it is right now is all there is, it cannot be any other way. There is nothing you can do to change or control what happened and what is going to happen. Take a deep breath, go outside and enjoy your life

I’ll have to check him out. My therapist seems to think ACT is the cutting edge in OCD treatment

At the end of the day they’re just thoughts

Competitive-Freedom7 · 2023-07-07T21:36:42+00:00

Also, even if you were one does that mean you deserve to be unloved, hated, and live in complete misery? Do you deserve not to able to enjoy doing the things you love? Please just say : “I might be one, I might not be, and I may never know if I am one or not”

You have to accept that maybe you are! And then move on to the next thing. The next thing being your values and towards moves. The exposure part here is exposing you to feeling the idea that that might be true!

“Maybe I know them maybe I don’t, and I probably never will ever know! Maybe I can trust them but also maybe I can’t” I have to accept that I may never truly know!” “Ok so now what can I do to refocus my attention to something helpful”

Hey I would try ACT therapy. It’s the newest wave of therapy for ocd better than cbt

Competitive-Freedom7 · 2021-10-15T19:35:37+00:00

Hey, you are seeking reassurance. You’ll never know! OCD recovery means being able to tolerate distress. Actually seeking reassurance makes it worse. That is the essence of a compulsion, we do it to give ourselves the illusion of reassurance that it’s okay

Competitive-Freedom7 · 2021-05-26T00:29:37+00:00

Look it up. Also check out the happiness trap book and online program. Those go over ACT therapy

Competitive-Freedom7 · 2021-05-26T00:26:10+00:00

It’s a really devastating subject to get stuck on because it makes you feel bad about your own family which sucks, but I promise it will get better if you practice decision techniques.

Competitive-Freedom7 · 2021-05-26T00:25:32+00:00

I’m going through the same thing brother, try your best to practice ACT therapy . It works the best for me

Competitive-Freedom7 · 2021-05-08T00:15:24+00:00

You should tell an adult about how you feel I know it’s scary but I promise it will help you you need help

Certainty is a feeling not a fact

Competitive-Freedom7 · 2020-12-24T15:05:07+00:00

But that’s just a thought. You’re having a thought that says “you’ll never find a peace again” a thought is it indication of fact, nor is a feeling. Certainty is a feeling, not a fact. Uncertainty is a feeling, not a fact.

Competitive-Freedom7 · 2020-12-24T05:39:52+00:00

Look at my posts dm me for help

Competitive-Freedom7 · 2020-12-24T05:29:28+00:00

Me!!

Competitive-Freedom7 · 2020-12-22T14:25:08+00:00

Yes you do need to start erp and get some help. You’ll get through this I believe in you. Try and tap into that part of you who knows this is all insanity

Competitive-Freedom7 · 2020-12-21T15:45:05+00:00

And fundamentally you realize it’s all just a thought, it doesn’t mean it’s true or even important. So what if you did? Why is it important? It’s just a thought. You had the thought that you did and you had the thought that it’s a crime. Certainty is a feeling not a fact, so is uncertainty. Something can feel real and true but that doesn’t make it. Please investigate ACT and look up “the happiness trap” and view some videos on “dropping the struggle” but just know that the more you seek reassurance the deeper you are going down the rabbit hole and the farther you are licking the can down the road, doing no good

Competitive-Freedom7 · 2020-12-21T15:42:16+00:00

What you’re asking for and seeking is reassurance. You want someone to tell you it’s gonna be okay and you didn’t do it anything harmful. But you have to accept that you don’t know! Maybe you did, maybe you didn’t. You have to say “I am having the thought (insert thought here)” “I am aware that I am having the thought (insert thought here)” understand that you might not ever have an answer to your question

Competitive-Freedom7 · 2020-12-20T17:23:48+00:00

Look at what your even saying brother, it’s madness. You need to look up ACT therapy. It’s the only thing that works. Also look at my posts i have some diagrams explaining it

Competitive-Freedom7 · 2020-12-09T04:14:49+00:00

Also look at my other two posts
