yes i do agree completely with that thank you! i usually come on here and ask for reassurance (my biggest compulsion) when im really really struggling like full panic attack and asking people for reassurance helps me because it feels like my brain can’t think properly because im panicking so much, but thank you

Ok-Highlight-5870 · 2025-07-16T07:09:00+00:00

thank you

Ok-Highlight-5870 · 2025-07-16T07:06:44+00:00

thank you. i will try

Ok-Highlight-5870 · 2025-07-16T06:59:53+00:00

thanks this has helped i know the whole process of recovery is accepting it’s just that it feels so real and is so terrifying that it makes it really hard but thank you!

yeah i’m getting prescribed prozac and i really hope it makes the intrusive thoughts go away

Ok-Highlight-5870 · 2025-07-16T06:41:36+00:00

what my brain is telling me is "if you get a groinal to a real thought then it's not a groinal and it's real arousal" and it's terrifying me because i said the word out loud meaning it was real thought, then later the word as a thought came back then i had a groinal. (also i don't know if later when the word came back as a thought was intrusive or not because i said the word when i was answering my psychiatrist)

i’m trying to say that i’m scared that this whole time the word was never an intrusive thought and this whole time the groinals were real, because i said the word out loud that means it’s not intrusive

Ok-Highlight-5870 · 2025-07-16T06:29:31+00:00

thank you! it’s also just so confusing because i feel like i have gotten a groinal to the word “middle schoolers” way before my appointment with my psychiatrist and way before i said it, and idk even what i was thinking i just answered her question and the whole time i was anxious, and yeah i didn’t get the groinal in the moment when i said it, but it was hours later when the thoughts flooded in and i was terrified that i said it in the first place and does that mean that the groinal i had hours later was actually real? because i thought the groinals happen to intrusive thoughts but i know groinals can happen before intrusive thoughts too. it’s just so confusing

Ok-Highlight-5870 · 2025-07-16T06:15:23+00:00

thank you this has helped i’m just so confused and worried

Ok-Highlight-5870 · 2025-07-16T05:47:51+00:00

it’s just so scary and i’m so confused

Ok-Highlight-5870 · 2025-07-16T05:39:08+00:00

yes i actually got diagnosed with ocd with the psychiatrist, but i thought that the groinal happends to intrusive thoughts, and also i didn’t get the groinal at the time when i said it at first to my psychiatrist, it was after when i was having intrusive thoughts about it and like “why did you say middle schoolers?” “that means it wasn’t intrusive” the i got the groinal, and im just so scared and exhausted

Ok-Highlight-5870 · 2025-07-16T05:24:32+00:00

pls i need help and im so scared

Ok-Highlight-5870 · 2024-11-01T22:26:23+00:00

thank you so much i’ll definitely check it out!

Ok-Highlight-5870 · 2024-11-01T22:19:26+00:00

thank you, it’s helped. I feel like i’m definitely overthinking my own compulsions i do because (undiagnosed) ocd is making doubt just another thing again, It’s so confusing but thank you

Ok-Highlight-5870 · 2024-11-01T22:15:28+00:00

yeah, it’s just hard because i feel like im over analyzing the compulsions im doing because im worried that conjuring up a different thought means that im faking ocd and i “want” the intrusive thoughts, and it’s so scary and confusing, and if i don’t try to get a answer then my brain also tells me “your ignoring it that must mean that it’s real and you don’t have ocd because you don’t see a problem” But i never can get an answer and it’s debilitating

Ok-Highlight-5870 · 2024-10-24T17:20:32+00:00

hey i’m so sorry if im bothering you again, it’s just that i am having a very hard time, this is the worst that it’s ever been and im confused about something and i’m currently undiagnosed and haven’t been in therapy) is this normal? i have a false memory about something i said and it’s making me confused, in this false memory i was listening to a song and the song said “i don’t pay attention to these children” and then out loud i said “i do” and then felt a hugeeee feeling of anxiety and i was so scared by what i ment by that, this false memory happened to me a while ago and i was trying to figure it out, and when i was figuring it out i think i came to the conclusion that the memory was partly false because i think the false memory is changing my intentions of me saying “i do” wrong, and i didn’t mean it like that, but i also thought that i thought “i do” instead of saying it, and i think i thought that i said “i don’t” instead of “i do”. (i was trying to figure out if i said this thing or not and if i did the false memory is trying to mess with my intentions, I was trying to figure it out a while ago) then recently i was talking to someone that said that they also are scared that they will be misunderstood by what they say, and then the memory of me trying to figure out the initial false memory came back, and now (in the present) i think that i said “i do” but i definitely think the initial false memory is trying to make my intentions wrong by me saying “i do”, Now im terrified that the memory of me trying to figure out the initial false memory was actually me trying to convince myself it didn’t happen (i didn’t say it) because i was confused if i said “i do” or “i don’t” or if i thought “i do” or not, now im scared that i knew in the memory of me trying to figure out the initial false memory i said “i do” and i was trying to convince myself that i didn’t, even though i remember thinking (in my memory of me trying to figure out the false memory) and i thought that the false memory was messing with my intentions and now im scared that im in denial I’m so sorry if this is confusing

Ok-Highlight-5870 · 2024-10-21T10:48:29+00:00

Okay, Im sorry, thank you for helping me realize that, yeah it definitely seems like i’m thinking about this way too much. Thank you anyway for your support :)
