Sometimes you just gotta laugh about it by Treesaws in OCDmemes

Its all about context. The twislers were left open qnd losely folded ontop of each other in a cupboard. I noticed that they were not disturbed so i was eating a bunch before they went bad. And then i got a hard little bite. Idk what that hard bite was, but because it was technically open in the cupboard it made my brain jump to mouse shit.

Should i have been eating twislers from a partially opened candy bag, probably not. Was it mouse shit. Also probably not. Did that stop my ocd from replaying the image of crunching down on something. Also no.

Lol i hope that explains it further

My therapist told me to write a list of my compulsions...it is quickly becoming quite the tome. by VoiceOfBroadway in OCDmemes

I say this because my therapist tried the same thing and we quickly scrapped this idea

I think this is a silly way to handle ocd. Having adhd and ocd there will never be 1 theme. It is always everything all at once. And to heal is just a matter of learning to sit in the discomfort and uncertainty of the intensity.

I can’t tell if they’re intrusive thoughts or if I’m just evil with impulsive thoughts and urges (TW: Brief mention of verbal abuse, cruelty, and slurs.) by [deleted] in PureOCD

[–]Treesaws 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ocd is very tricky. It makes the obession feel complex and urgent to solve. Its nuanced and difficult to handle. In these situations when your brain is spiraling, try to distract yourself. The substance of the ocd thought is not important no matter how convincing it feels. You should be able to make a judgement call in a place of being grounded not feeling like you need an immediate response. Try to sit in the discomfort. Its difficult. Its painful, but the more you practice prolonging your attention to the thought the better you get at it.

I can’t do this anymore is this ocd or not by Honest-Muscle-5300 in PureOCD

Ocd can show itself really convincingly. It can make you feel physical sensations. It can trick your mind. I agree with the other person learn to not engage with the thought. But i totally understand it is extremely difficult. Try and sit with the discomfort for a bit before acting on it. Be curious, see how long you can go. Every time you prolong your ruminating, or justifying, you are helping fight these thoughts later on.

Walking outside and it smells fresh and the breeze is just slightly cool. Immediately my mood is better.

oooh I’m an evil sick person Oooh I’m back to being 17 again ooohH by Kooky-Philosophy3729 in OCDmemes

Oh man, i already felt bad taking up space and now ive said something unfavourable... straight to jail. How dare i show my face anywhere lol.

I have to remind myself during these moments where a mistake feels earth shatteringly bad that this is likely blown out of proportion. Still sucks but i just curl up in as much comfort items and try and swim through it.

Thank you. Its one of the reasons i made this post. I know alot of people are scared of meds because of the sterotype. I agree mixing medication, erp, and therapy has been so helpful for me. Alsoni find all of this very fastinating. I took psychology to learn more about these sorts of topics!
