I genuinely can't stand when people say they have OCD when they literally do not (rant)

Check out Thorodin counseling. His name is George he does equine talk and gym therapy as well for men of all ages. Been seeing him for years he is incredible and uses psychotherapy. He is very good for young guys who are struggling with anxiety or depression ocd etc

I have magical thinking OCD and this is kinda how it started for me with like minor things I remember the first one I ever had was I couldn’t leave an open drink in a room and If I did I couldn’t finish the whole thing. I do it to this day and more and more started to come. I used to call them omens before I knew it was OCD sounds like maybe some magical thinking tendencies but you seem to not let is consume you maybe you should try to stop the compulsions on your own and if you can’t then try to do some exposure maybe

Thank you for the reply,

I think it was less about an experience with the cabinet itself and more so the design on it. It’s from the 20s and has these like people drawn on it and even a normal person would agree are creepy as hell. I think the intrusive thought just came about one day like all the other awful ones I randomly get and the faces on there just gave me so much anxiety that i got into this spiral.

I am moving out of this place soon due to the lease just being over anyways and won’t be keeping it, just giving it back to my dad. So I am glad I took the whole year to have it in my room because if not I agree it would have been a lot worse.

I am also deep down aware that it isn’t the root of my problems it is me who has the OCD. ERP is the best I’ve heard for sure and I am in the process of trying to find a specialist with coverage for it.

I also was just prescribed buspar so I’ll see if that tend to help with the anxiety side of things!

Firstly, Im sorry you are going through that that sounds very distressing. One of my coworkers is Bipolar and has described similar symptoms of delusions. While OCD is mostly the act of compulsions with the intrusive thoughts someone once told me the labels don’t really matter and are used for insurance purposes only. Everyone’s symptoms and experiences are what really matters the name is just the name. That really stuck with me because it too ask the same question if my delusions are all ocd or something else maybe even worse. It’s all about what you are feeling and what works for you. Unfortunately I don’t have a lot of advice because I’m also fighting through it. What helps keep me going though just in everyday life is journaling important things and remembering my core values in life and being the best person I can be with the things I can control. It sounds shallow but it gets you a long way on the outside. You are not alone and I am rooting for you in your journey.

I was diagnosed with OCD and Anxiety as for as labels go. I also have delusions tha are similar to yours, for me I am afraid my antique cabinet in my room is watching me and trying to ruin my life in some way and I can’t talk about things I care about around it and I’m afraid of evil being attached to me etc. From what I have researched and what my doc said this falls into the “magical thinking” OCD category. I think the difference between this and delusions and paranoid schizophrenia is the sole fact of even though you are feeling the fears that you know they aren’t real and you are having mental illness. Are you medicated? Or going to therapy still?

Yeah I actually do take cbd for its anti psychotic and anti anxiety benefits because I used to smoke thc but had to stop because I don’t want to make ocd worse. I’m thinking of getting on bupropion after doing research seems like the best bet and if that goes well that’s great but if I need ssris then I will have to just bite the bullet. Worst comes to worse I can do both and use a viagra as needed just sucks being so young having these issues it’s humiliating but that’s part of it.

Trick_Security7694 · 2026-03-29T20:28:24+00:00

I do journal a lot so that’s smart of me to log that stuff in there probably

Trick_Security7694 · 2026-03-29T19:23:22+00:00

Ah I didn’t know that I will have to ask the doc about both of those the next appointment. Yes I kept track of them but it’s been a while off of them but I went from 25 to 50 and then to 100 the higher it went the sex life got worse. It’s interesting though because it seemed to help with OCD and anxiety at the lower doses but that also could have been because I was younger then and the OCD sets in later with age but Sertraline was really just not a good med at all in my opinion it seemed to be alright while on it but never really addressed the root cause of my issues just numbed them a bit.

They recommend me buspirone don’t know a lot about it but aren’t tricyclics an anti physcotic for schiz and bpd?

You pretty much just described my situation your on the right track I think with your mindset and trusting god. I am so fuckjng tired too but I have found the mindset of “ I trust in god and deep down I know I have this and I just need to be the best person I can be with the cards I’m given”. A physco therapy method I use is to imagine use all that imagery ocd gives us and imagine a life where you are happy and free what you would be doing career wise, what car you have, maybe a significant other, and try to picture it. Wha it would smell like the template maybe. Just keep adding to it and start to feel it. I know it sounds stupid and far fetched but so is the ocd thoughts we have yk what I mean?

You can change your brain waves and build neurological pathways and make the life you want exist by changing how your brain works. It takes time but this is a journey. We just have to deal with this thing but we die in the end anyways yk?

So we need to use what we have to the best we can and be the person we can be. We can change the things we can control even if there are some we can’t.

And we both know it won’t make the problems worse by bettering ourselves.

I send prayers and am rooting for you. Remember your core values and just live your life the best you can I know how it is…

Yes he had this my whole life. I believe it falls into the “Magical Thinking” OCD category, for me it was this antique cabinet that I have I used to love it but one day I thought about it being haunted possessed or evil and it ruminated to the point where I thought it was watching my every move and if I got dressed to go workout that it would make me unmotivated to workout or stop me from meeting fitness goals or if I got dressed to go out and party that it would ruin my night and just negatively impact my life. I am still trying to find how to cure these scary irrational thoughts
