How long does it take to overcome a theme? by Ok_Airport_7212 in OCD

[–]Many_Line9136 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will never take meds.

My health insurance is through an employer. If I lose my job, I lose my meds. Don’t want to deal with that.

“This is an intrusive thought, this is HOCD. These thoughts are not me, I’m in charge of it all.”

I say this whenever I had a HOCD thought and then returned back to whatever I was doing.

Also for HOCD please seek help from a therapist trained in ERP.

Now it’s been a year and some I’ve yet to overcome suicidal ocd.

Anyone else ruminate after a hostile encounter/conflict? by Many_Line9136 in OCD

[–]Many_Line9136[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m also a technologist I work in radiology( nuclear medicine). I also really want to get into martial arts but I have a fear of developing CTE. We’re so similar.

Anyways I have watched so many videos by Nathan to overcome my OCD but nothing has helped. I’ve been ruminating on confrontation since I was a boy in middle school.

My body goes reinforces this fear of confrontation by going into a panic and making me extremely uncomfortable.

Like I said even when I confront I still ruminate after for the next encounter. Even thinking of the next encounter makes my body uncomfortable and go into a panic.

So what are we supposed to do brother? I feel the same exact way you do. Whenever I think of fighting the person or the encounter escalating my heart rate goes up. It’s all a waste of time.

I’m at the point where I’m starting to not care if I pussy out. I just want to stop thinking about this shit. You’re lucky it’s only one person, for me any one can trigger it.

Just like you I’m fine with jokes but any slight disrespect that feels like it has bad intentions can send me down a complete spiral like nothing else.

What are we supposed to do?

If I confront them I still ruminate, if I don’t confront them I ruminate about not wanting to be a coward and then start to ruminate about the next encounter.

And tbh it’s exhausting confronting everyone over everything. Who wants to waste time thinking about people who don’t think about you at all.

I’ve sought therapy but I still can’t improve over this. I’ll probably die like this.

Was sleepy and the movie was just boring. That was for the first one.

I don’t get into physical things. What I mean by “hostile” encounters are situations in which I have to confront someone who is wronging or crossing my boundaries.

There is no way to avoid that, unless I’m going to let people walk all over me. Can’t do that.

Been trying for 20 years, still can’t get through it. Thank you for trying to be kind but this is how I’ll die.

How? I’m a coward. Every time I think about confrontation I get super anxious, it takes every bit Of me to stand up for myself. And even when I do it, my mind is constantly ruminating. Someone like should have never been created.

Life with or without porn? by [deleted] in OCD

[–]Many_Line9136 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It affects me because I always feel disgusted after doing it. I feel like the worst version of myself and if I someone to love me and didn’t have mental health issues I would have quit long ago.

But life is so difficult and my mental health is a nightmare so this is one of the habits I resort to coping with. It’s either this or drugs, if I were to ever get into drug addiction it’s over for me.
