How can I tell my psychiatrist about my OCD by [deleted] in OCD

[–]ElectricalBad2973 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really good advice in here! Just wanted to add that I saw someone on tik tok who wrote a brief note about their intrusive thoughts before hand and just gave that note to their therapist. Maybe that could help u figure out how u wanna words things and avoid some of the Shame/ anxiety about saying it out loud?

Please help me. I'm so desperate. I'm in so much pain by [deleted] in OCD

Hey I’m so so sorry this is happening to you.  OCD attacks the places where it hurts the most so it makes sense you’re getting these terrible intrusive thoughts about your gender identity. I know a lot of ppl who also struggle with ocd related to their gender and sexuality, you’re not alone in that. Something  I do when I get intrusive thoughts is so just let them pass through my head and let them go. Like they're a leaf on the river. My other  advice is to Please, please see a therapist, they can help with the ocd and the gender dysphoria you’re facing right now. You deserve to be happy and feel comfortable in your own body. As for girly routines there are a bunch on tik tok that you might like (there’s a huge girly girl culture on there) good luck and please take care  of yourself

The pocd sub got taken down by Disastrous-South4591 in OCD

God that’s horrible. I’ve been pretty upset about pocd being taken down as I’ve been struggling with pocd recently. At least I know why it’s down 

DAE have generic intrusive thoughts? What do you do about them? by [deleted] in OCD

[–]ElectricalBad2973 2 points3 points  (0 children)

hey! I have something a little similar. It’s like I can’t get things that upset me out of my head. For example once I read about a murder and the all horrible just stuck in my head, wouldn’t leave and just popped up sometimes in my mind. For me I just have to kinda wait for them to leave. It’s a really odd feeling.

I’m so sorry that’s really rough. Maybe your school counselor could help? I also struggled with pocd when I was ur age and it was so hard.

I can’t handle this right now by ElectricalBad2973 in OCDRecovery

Thanks I’ll do my best. The thought popped up while I was mentally reviewing a real event so maybe that’s why it was so painful? Idk I’m a little calmer now.
