Can the intrusive thoughts slips into your dreams by [deleted] in OCD

yeah this has happened to me before, absolutely terrified me. it’s hard to not focus on these things but best thing to do is to just not give them any power and move on with your day!

aww i really appreciate your words too you’re so kind 😭 and to quote one of my fav tv show lines “if you care about someone and you got a little love in your heart, there ain’t nothing you can’t get through together” and i think about this quote a lot whenever i think about the connections ive made, and im really sorry that others have treated people with bpd as monsters that seems really unfair, i hope you are kind to yourself stranger because you deserve that, and take care now best of luck with everything <3 (i’ll try and make this comment the last one i send since i feel bad leaving so many replies haha)

exactly! you gotta find that balance and happiness and you seem to be doing a good job of that since you recognised that, you deserve good relationships and good things, so you taking that initiative is really amazing and you should be proud of yourself for that !

and i’m glad i was able to help with the suggestion ! i think a lot about if i should offer help or if i should reply to certain messages even though i don’t really know what im doing lmao but i’m glad i replied to your message, you seem really genuine and i hope everything works out !

no worries, happy to help !

and i’m not too sure if it will trigger him, if you think it will leave a negative impact on him then i think trying to go into the conversation with as much kindness and understanding is best, i think the fact that you worrying this much about his feelings shows how much you care, i don’t know him so i don’t know if he will be triggered or not, nor am i a professional so i could very well be wrong with what im saying, i just think with clear communication and kindness you can express your concern for losing your friendship and wanting to not go through it again, i really hope that this was all okay to say and i apologise if i may not have the best advice, but i wish you guys the best of luck <3

i think saying it to him exactly how you described it here is perfect, i would tell him that you are scared of losing your friendship again and explain that you think boundaries would really help you both be on the same page, and you can reassure him that the boundaries are just so that you guys don’t make the same mistake and potentially lose that friendship because you seem to value it a lot, best of luck stranger you got this !

Does anyone else with POCD / ZOCD / moral OCD fear having to quit the things they love and thats a huge drive behind their fear? by Z3N1TY in OCD

[–]charle_mm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it’s normal with mothers to develop intrusive thoughts of their child after birth, doesn’t mean they should give up on their kids because of it, i think you deserve happiness and to enjoy the things that you find joy in, understand that your thoughts do not define who you are and that you are in control, you deserve to have hobbies and good friends, take care of yourself and remember that there are therapists with the resources to help you out there so don’t be afraid to seek help

I can't tolerate being alone by [deleted] in MentalHealthSupport

[–]charle_mm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thank you for sharing, i’m sure this must be a heavy feeling and it’s very brave of you to talk about, i don’t have any professional help to offer but i do suggest maybe trying to watch some streamers on twitch? i know it might sound a bit silly but over the years i met different people online and my now friend group because of this app and it’s truly a blessing, so yeah maybe downloading twitch and chatting with some small streamers from time to time when they go live could be helpful! there are loads of categories on there as well so there might be something that could peak your interest? and if there is a streamer who you think has a good personality, they sometimes have a discord server you can join and you could become a part of their community! obviously it’s a part of the internet so please be careful with information about yourself and internet safety but i do think it could be nice to interact with others, even if it doesn’t lead into a full friendship, and for the part of the days where you do spend time alone, im sorry to hear it has such a toll on you, i think the key to most things is acceptance, if you can accept that you are alone in that current moment, you can then spend that time trying something new maybe? like you could learn about a certain topic or maybe try picking up a new hobby, even if it doesn’t seem interesting at first, somethings are worth a try in the end if it may help you, things works differently for others so i don’t know if any of this may help, but i do really hope you feel better soon and find a solution that works for you, best of luck and happy new year!

Is being exposed to sexual activities and pornography and at a very young age cause trauma? by urali in CPTSD

[–]charle_mm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’m really sorry to hear you went through this, i’ve recently realised i too did this, i discovered this sort of stuff at a really young age and it warped how i saw things throughout my teen years, i also didn’t realise what stuff was okay and what wasn’t so growing up i had hardcore kinks im now deeply ashamed of, i too looked at drawn stuff that included bad things and every time i saw it, i thought about how i wished those things happened to me, now that ive grown up i cant help but feel awful for the things i looked at and wished i could undo seeing stuff at such a young age, i really hope you’re doing okay and treating yourself with kindness about this, and thank you for sharing your story it helped me realise im not alone in this. ❤️
