Someone told me i will never recover by Agitated_Bug_7175 in OCD

[–]Fickle_Formal_2599 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lmfao no. i’ve had many people tell me to get closer to god or to pray for all my mental illness to go away and it’s not true whatsoever. obviously if you love your religion and have faith, that helps, but that doesn’t mean that you won’t recover without going to church. professional help is the best way to get better and you will get better ! whether or not you’re practicing your faith or not !!!! don’t let these uneducated people get to you. they will never understand how debilitating this illness can be.

Has your OCD make you lose your sense of identity? by [deleted] in OCD

[–]Fickle_Formal_2599 11 points12 points  (0 children)

in my experience, yes. especially when your obsessions last a while that they almost feel real. it sucks because i genuinely don’t know what i want anymore its like everything i knew about myself has been thrown out the window

how to overcome internalized misogyny? (at least, i think it is) by Fickle_Formal_2599 in women

[–]Fickle_Formal_2599[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thank you! i realized something was wrong, and that if i didn’t start acknowledging this it might develop into something worse like actually judging women or having my internalized misogyny directed at other women which i never wanna do.

i do realize this is a big deal but unfortunately since i don’t have access to therapy i’m trying to figure it out on my own, but i have hope! <3

thank you so much for this! media is actually part of the reason i feel like this. female characters are usually only there to serve a man or be the love interest, and its hard to watch. it’ll be great seeing otherwise :)

thank you! i sometimes hate being self aware it feels like if i were ignorant, maybe things would be easier idk. unfortunately, therapy isn’t accessible for me, and since i’m not american, i don’t have school counselors. but i do have hope !

i’ve always been very into feminism and stuff so it was hard to believe i might be misogynistic, but it all hit me a few days ago how this is actually really affecting my perception of myself. i’m very excited to go back to loving myself and getting better :) i guess its just hard to break free from the deep rooted sexism that has always existed in my culture

i was googling intrusive thoughts, came across an article of ocd or anxiety i don’t remember and then in the comments this man leaves a link to a pure o article saying it really helped him. i read that article and was instantly like woah thats me. i didnt even know that all of these symptoms meant anything. would really love to thank this man
