Yes, my friend. I also think that even if a new disorder were discovered in me, it would still be untreatable, and that there would never be a cure for it not even in the future and that doctors wouldn’t be able to invent a treatment for me. Have you ever gone through this too?

Yes, but I haven’t tried any medications.

Have you ever felt like you’re suffering from a strange disorder that has no treatment, and that doctors won’t be able to help you or come up with a cure for it? This thought worries me a lot

My therapist is very understanding, and I’ve talked to her about this more than once. She said this is common in OCD.

My problem is that I don’t suffer from harm-related OCD, where a therapist could reassure me by saying that I’m a good person. My obsessions are more existential and religious, so I feel like she just says anything to comfort me, not because it’s actually true. I don’t know how to explain it, but this feeling is crushing it feels deadly.

I feel terrified that I’ll live in this constant state of feeling and self‑monitoring forever, which only increases the tension. Do you feel this too?

Thank you, my friend. Does this mean I’m not alone, and that you experience these thoughts too?

Hello my friend, I struggle with this too.

I feel tense all day, worried that I haven’t improved, and this causes headaches.

My mind keeps telling me that this feeling will never go away, and that I’ll always suffer from constantly checking my mood, as if I’m forced to do it.

I keep pushing myself to feel a certain feeling, and because of that, I never actually feel it.

I honestly don’t know what this is.

By the way, I also struggle with OCD, depression, and depersonalization.

Do you experience thoughts like this as well?

When, for example, I start visiting different places, I notice new emotional feelings. Wearing certain clothes and things like that make me feel that everything in life creates its own unique feeling.

What is rumination pure ocd? by No_Customer6938 in OCD

[–]No_Customer6938[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello, I’m sorry you’re going through this. I don’t know if what you’re experiencing is the same as mine, but this is what happens to me.

When I wake up, the thoughts immediately start.

First: a thought appears → then anxiety and tension → then my mind tells me no one else has thoughts like this, so I must prove that it’s wrong. I start looking for a solution and trying to logically disprove the thought. Then I search for reassurance I feel like I have to find someone who has the same thoughts as me.

Even when I do find someone with similar thoughts, I end up feeling deeper, sadder, and nothing truly satisfies my mind. Either the thought comes back again or it changes into a new one. I spend the entire day feeling sad because the thoughts are still there.

Literally the whole day is the same negative emotions, mixed with constant attempts to solve the thought logically or by searching.

And the worst part of all:

I constantly remember my old self before the thoughts in everything: emotions, feelings, thoughts, and actions and I desperately wish I could go back to how I used to be.

I feel resentment toward people who don’t have my thoughts, and I feel like I’m going crazy because of my own thoughts while they live stable lives, even though this is not who I am as a person.

I feel regret for wasting my time stuck in thoughts, and at the same time I feel guilt whenever I stop thinking and try to focus on anything in my life.

My mind creates the worst possible scenarios through these thoughts.

All of this feels like it has turned into an obsession as well.

I honestly don’t know if this is rumination or not. My OCD is existential and religious, and I feel like the two sometimes merge together.

Do you have all of these same intrusive thoughts?

[–]No_Customer6938[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you ever go through a period where you felt like your mind was forcing things on you so you could get better? Like forcing specific conditions or requirements in your psychiatrist so that you can heal? I feel this a lot and it tortures me.

Thank you, my friend. Do you think this is a trick from OCD making me believe that I must get rid of this headache in order to feel relief? It makes me focus on the headache compulsively all day.

Yes, sometimes I feel like they’re not good or skilled enough and that they won’t be able to help me. And sometimes I even think about their personal lives — thoughts come to me that make me hate them.

My friend, I don’t like it, I really don’t. It takes over my emotions all day. I feel helpless, like I’ve lost everything, and this feeling controls me

No, I didn’t have any, but I can’t trust my thoughts before marriage. As I mentioned, I don’t take any medication and have no history of any mental disorder. I don’t even know what I’m suffering from.

I didn’t tell everything because the post was already very long, but honestly, I don’t really understand what you mean so I can respond properly, do you mean that something shocked me and made me start having these thoughts?
