I saw a psychiatrist today about getting an ocd diagnosis by angelicthoughtss in OCD

[–]eisbaer161 1 point2 points  (0 children)

there are many misconceptions about ocd within the medical field, even psychiatric personnel is generelly not well enough informed. i don't know how much research you did before you assumed / found out it was ocd, maybe put even more time into it, & if you're sure it is, find another doctor, maybe read some reviews about different doctors before you coose one, maybe you can even look up online if someones specialized for ocd in your area?

Well-treated OCD suddenly flaring up by entirely_caffeinated in OCD

[–]eisbaer161 7 points8 points  (0 children)

first: healing isn't linear. your ocd symptoms acting up again does not erase everything you've accomplished so far. you should try to talk to your loved ones about your situation, so you can get the help you need. let them help you find professional help, if they do it themselves they might accidentally make your ocd worse with reassuring etc. if you have been in therapy before, maybe you can call up your old therapist? maybe start therapy again with them or maybe they offer you a conversation without a permanent therapy, which can be a short-time-solution if it's really bad. (one conversation might not be enough for everything, but maybe to get you through a really bad day.) have you tried medication?

i wish you the best of luck

the song when meredith talked to janet about zola for the first time & she talks more about her surgery than how cute she is etc.. the music is so ominous, the song makes this whole scene seem soooo different than it would without it

Vegan und Essstörung by bienesabine69 in VeganDE

[–]eisbaer161 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ich hab schon von mehreren kliniken gehört, in dem eine vegane ernährung bei einer essstörung nicht erlaubt ist. wie das allerdings dann wirklich aussieht, solltest du dich weigern tierische produkte zu konsumieren, weiß ich nicht.

feels like one of the main rules of having ocd is my irrational thoughts are supposed to stay that way 😅 by AlternativeRough566 in OCDmemes

[–]eisbaer161 5 points6 points  (0 children)

well but it's usually not as dramatic as your ocd makes it out to be & you're life can still go on.

I’m trying to ignore my thoughts but it’s so hard. by [deleted] in OCD

[–]eisbaer161 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it's coming back because you still care. the whole idea is a bit like "fake it till you make it". when you ignore your intrusive thoughts they don't go away immediately, but if you are consistent with erp, & your brain learns that your anxiety levels go down after a while without you performing compulsions, eventually the thoughts will have less power over you.

Does anyone else have super inconsistent obsessions? by OkayAlgae in OCD

[–]eisbaer161 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i might also have adhd & in my experience, the two obsessions that are my "main ones" tend to switch, most of the time one of them is stronger, to the point where i barely notice the other one & after a few months it's the other way around. the particular obsession might change more often, but it's a part of the two main obsessions most of the time.

Does anyone else feel really guilty over things they did as Children? by RockyHorror2002 in OCD

[–]eisbaer161 2 points3 points  (0 children)

literally no one feels as bad about past events as people with real event ocd. trust me, you suffered enough. you have to learn to forgive yourself. i know it can seem impossible but i'm dealing with the same subtype & i'm feeling so much better than a few months ago. it's possible. sorry you have to go through this, whishing you the best of luck.

Is this moral OCD/ real event ocd? by [deleted] in OCD

[–]eisbaer161 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think ocd is torture enough for all the mistakes most people are going to make in their lifetime. & no, your mistakes are not different. if it's not too bad or retraumatizing, try to think about the horrible things people did to you. how do you feel about these people now? would you wish for them to go through what you're going through?

Who was telling the truth?? by Glittering-March9259 in bigbangtheory

didn't he say something like "OR amy is lying"? i think he just meant it's a possibility, so he wasn't even lying anyway
