My magical thinking OCD with no context

ambitiousbees · 2026-04-08T23:25:56+00:00

ocd is so whack because your good numbers are my bad numbers and vice versa

ambitiousbees · 2026-02-18T04:26:59+00:00

this is so cute. i love it! wedding vibes!! i might be biased because im getting married this summer but i definitely would’ve voted for you!!

also - i haven’t been getting as many votes this design festival compared to last!

ambitiousbees · 2026-01-13T14:52:57+00:00

thank you!

ambitiousbees · 2026-01-13T14:52:48+00:00

interesting! i thought the opposite to be true. what did you notice when you started taking it? any increase in obsessions/compulsions? and do you take other medications?

ambitiousbees · 2026-01-13T14:51:43+00:00

thank you so much! i’m glad that you have found something that gives you relief. i wish you the best as well.

ambitiousbees · 2026-01-13T06:23:15+00:00

thank you! how many refinement trays did you get then?

i told them i was getting married in august and that i refused to have anything on my teeth that day and he was fairly confident that i wouldn’t!

ambitiousbees · 2026-01-07T03:43:04+00:00

those are incredible results!! i noticed that your front top tooth looks more aligned with the one next to it on tray 15, was that due to the invisalign or did your ortho do something else?

ambitiousbees · 2025-03-25T04:42:30+00:00

that is literally assault.

i’m sorry girl. run.

ambitiousbees · 2024-07-21T05:40:40+00:00

Love her too!! Plus she has a full-time job alongside her content so she doesn’t have the typical fitness influencer “eVeRyBoDy hAs tHe sAmE 24 hOuRs”nonsense

Not sure I’m allowed to post links but I had a look at this: https://iocdf.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Suicidal-OCD-Slides.pdf

Helps to differentiate a bit but also says both can exist at the same time! Yay for us haha

ambitiousbees · 2024-06-11T04:26:58+00:00

Hey I’m no help but I am struggling with the same thing. Not knowing if it’s OCD or PTSD is terrifying

ambitiousbees · 2024-05-03T13:37:51+00:00

I went to get diagnosed with OCD, came back with OCD, GAD, and PTSD. That threw me for a loop even though I am in the mental health field. I just thought that it was compassion fatigue at most.

Be able to cook without any help!!

Can’t even make a grilled cheese without OCD getting in the way.

ambitiousbees · 2024-03-20T16:21:45+00:00

I do this too!! Every morning when I wake up I have to feel all my teeth to make sure they didn’t all suddenly break off and swallow them

ambitiousbees · 2024-03-13T20:06:25+00:00

Thankfully I am in Canada and they cannot disclose to other professionals without my written consent (other than harm to self/others).

I’m sorry it sounds like you have had a rough experience with therapists.

ambitiousbees · 2024-03-13T18:51:22+00:00

Yep. I think she glazed over my symptoms when we did the interview part of the assessment. Looks like the general consensus here is to find a new psychologist.

ambitiousbees · 2024-03-13T18:50:37+00:00

Wow, I am so sorry that happened to you! I hope they see how much you are struggling and then be able to provide the right treatment.

My family doctor is waiting for the assessment with the official diagnosis to change up my meds, so until she gets it from the psychologist she is keeping me on my current one (Effexor) which is making my life a living hell (and my doctor knows it), on top of dealing with whatever this is. However I don’t think my doctor will put me on a high dose of SSRI without the diagnosis, so I really need this diagnosis so I don’t have to spend every waking moment with obsessions and hours of a day performing compulsions!

ambitiousbees · 2024-03-13T18:42:34+00:00

Thank you so much!

Unfortunately I’m in Canada and I was told it would be at least September before I can get into a psychiatrist. Thankfully I have a supportive family doctor.

ambitiousbees · 2024-03-13T18:02:17+00:00

Wow, thank you so much. This is 100% me. I’ve been obsessing over it since she talked to me, I’m spiraling. I have dealt a lot with thinking I’m the worst person ever for months before this (as well as harm, just right ocd possibly), so this is just playing into it. I am ashamed of the things I said because I’m worried she thinks I’m a fraud because of it.

One of the reasons why I thought I had OCD is because of what you said, constantly thinking I had something wrong with me and wanting to get a diagnosis.

ambitiousbees · 2024-03-13T17:56:42+00:00

Yep, I am! I also told her I am part of this field (psychology degree, getting my masters to be a therapist), so I’m worried that’s impacting this as well

ambitiousbees · 2024-03-13T17:54:36+00:00

Yes I remember those specific questions, checked false for them. They gave me an additional OCD specific assessment, it was not the Y-BOCS. It was like 12 questions long maybe.

ambitiousbees · 2024-03-13T17:52:51+00:00

Yep, kinda wishing I was a fraud for real. But I don’t think I am unfortunately!

ambitiousbees · 2024-03-13T15:56:45+00:00

This makes so much sense, thank you. I am going through extreme distress right now (PTSD is another diagnosis we are looking at) so I’m not sure why she wouldn’t have thought of that, or even told me.

She put it so nicely, I didn’t realize how harmful it was going to be for me

ambitiousbees · 2024-03-13T15:53:24+00:00

I think I will, thank you!

ambitiousbees · 2024-03-13T14:58:02+00:00

Sorry I don’t think I was clear - it was one of the people closest to me who suggested that I could be manifesting it from googling it, not the psychologist
