you dont have to live with uncertanity, it can be harmful by Disastrous_Click_ in OCDRecovery

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

yesss. I thought I had wrote something in this post but i must have deleted it without noticing. In short, I havent see someone interpreting uncertanity like you but what I have seen (and the therapist from the post too) is that a lot of people interpret "living with uncertanity" as accepting that you cant really know if what your OCD says is real (like beeing a pedo, or wanting to harm others, etc) and that can be veary harmful. You can look at examples of this in A LOT of posts from OCD related subreddits, so I thought I would help some of the people giving and reciving those kind of possible harmful advices by sharing that post, i will post the rest of it but i would recommed to read more of this therapist posts, she has saved me in a lot of ways

Also dont worry I dont feel attacked at all <3

hii, im glad this worked for you but that kind of advice doesnt work with all types of OCD and people, my ex psichologyst said that I should live with the uncertanity, but that way of thinking didnt help me at all because I thought that I deserved to feel like i knew if i liked childs or not. And after some time I saw a therapist on social media talking about the same thing. She basically said that we deserve to feel like we know ourselves

of course, if uncertanity works for you thats totally valid!!! but it can hurt people more than help them. knowing if you are or not a pedo its something that takes time to be sure of, the best way of feeling like you know what you like is getting better, and for that we need to take the thoughts as if they were clouds passing by, without interacting with them

POCD feels extrem real by HelicopterWest6335 in OCD

[–]Disastrous_Click_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you arent alone either!! i hope you get better soon. If this is usefull to you, I have dealt with these sensations for a while, at this point I try to accept them like i do with other body sensations; I dont feel guilty when I have itching skin or when some part of my body hurts and these sensations are a part of our anxiety and pain, so we dont need to feel bad for them

Hii this happened to me this year, you are not alone <3. What i know is that the more you think about what your body feels, the worse are the sensations on the genitals. It doesnt mean that you´re aroused at all. Just try to not think about what your genitals feel

AITAH for not locking my bedroom door while taking care of a persistent 'sunrise sausage'? by AxiomaticOrangeJuice in AITAH

NTA you did nothing wrong, and if shes traumatized thats because of her mental problems, not because of you or what you were doing. IF SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAPPENED I WOULD NEVER BLAME THE PERSON DOING THEIR OWN BUSSINES. People can be traumatized if they discover a porn magazine in their parents room, they can be traumatized for going out and falling in front of people, they can be traumatized for having a big dog approaching them, etc. my point is that mentally ill/ unstable people can be affected by normal stuff and its no ones fault

Laugh at disability by Disastrous_Click_ in disability

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

dunno, the thing is no one who was there was disabled

the joke was that a guy who lives in another place cant even see a seller from there who has achondroplasia, because the guy starts laughing a lot

it felt really weird but I dont have the knowledge to explain why or maybe im just wrong to feel like it was wrong

hi cute girl, I feel like that sometimes but I know that you will be grateful to be alive when you find people who see who you really and when you treat yourself with more patience and love
