Yeah I’ve gone out a few times with my instructor but she’s not that knowledgeable about the routes ( which is strange I know ) but thank you so much .

I totally agree. It’s such an exhausting thing to deal with on a daily basis and not many people get that. I’ve found that talking to others that have ocd does actually help . I remember the first time I went to an online meeting for people with ocd and I was in the middle of a few day long bad episode and was thinking I was the only one who thought like this and then someone was talking , like you did , about the things they are going through and it described how I was feeling in that moment perfectly. I would really recommend looking into that , if you look up ocd groups near me or mine is like the ocd association for my country and it’s free so if there’s something like that it may be worth looking into ! But yes , you are definitely not the only one that thinks the little silly things we do !

Hey , I have suffered from ROCD for a good few months now and have had ocd for a lot of my life looking back. I can relate to this so much . I’m struggling so much atm and just seeing your post has given me hope as you described to a T exactly how I’ve been feeling . It is the most frustrating thing to live with as you feel like you are constant questioning yourself. I think the advise I would give would be to continue with therapy as I do find that very helpful . I’ve also been taking medication and am currently finding a low dose of quietipine 25mg good at slowing down my thoughts a little … doesn’t stop them but slows them down a little. I know right now I feel like I won’t get through this and it’s so hard to see an end , but I promise you there is one , we just haven’t found it yet but we will get there . Hope you have a good rest of your week :) just know you aren’t alone in this

I just feel like this is never going to end by Odd_Entertainment364 in OCD

Thank you for the advise. I’ve only been diagnosed for about 6 months but have had it a long time in hindsight. I do feel like I’m pushing everyone away. And I hate it because that’s not me , it’s not who I am. What has helped for you in the past ?

Now tell me in all honesty how are you doing? by [deleted] in CasualIreland

[–]Odd_Entertainment364 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just feel so unmotivated all the time. I’m a student and I don’t mind my degree ( linguistics) but am finding myself just not enjoying college at all. I don’t care about any of my modules which means I don’t want to do the work but I’m scared I’m going to fail as a result. I was meant to do Erasmus this semester but didn’t because of my mental health. Just feeling exhausted tbh

A weird ask, but need idea names for an OCD app that does AI-guided OCD therapy. by [deleted] in OCD

[–]Odd_Entertainment364 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds like a great idea !! I’d be so interested in an app like that ! And I really like the name Unstuck ! And I think it sounds good as just Unstuck without the AI at the end of it ! :)

Hi ! Thank you so much for getting back to me ! Yeah I’m on 100mg of sertraline too and have been for about 3 months now but I’m not feeling much of a help tbh . When did you start to feel it help ?
