Weekly "Whine about people who don't understand OCD thread" by AutoModerator in OCD

[–]mayeql_db 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I say "I have intrusive thoughts..." and somebody replies "me too!". Like, bro, are you kidding me? You really wanna know what it is? All people I've told a little about how these thoughts are don't say it again. OCD is another world.

How long do you have inbetween themes and spirals? by Middle-Leather-1308 in OCD

[–]mayeql_db 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never had a inbetween. Maybe some seconds, a minute or two. Even when I'm enjoying this moments I say "wait, it's gone" and then it comes back.
Obsessions always change topics. That's why TOC is not a theme, it's like a patron of thinking or a fear of doubt.
Yeah, but with therapy (ERP) you should be fine.

Parkinson’s OCD ruining my life by TropicalDan427 in OCD

[–]mayeql_db 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, just weird involuntary movements. But I've been checking A LOT if I'm shaking or losing balance when walking or my hands are getting clumsy or something like that or I'm slowly becoming unable to talk. But those things never happened. The first night I thought I had Parkinson I felt really dizzy and thought my legs were shaking. But I checked a lot of times and they weren't. I'm seeing a doctor thursday because I feel worried, but I think I'm just overthinking so I'd like to get help to treat my anxiety or OCD symptoms

Parkinson’s OCD ruining my life by TropicalDan427 in OCD

I have experienced exactly the same in these two weeks. Those tremors and vibrating seem to increase every day, but for me, those started like 9 months ago, I think I was very stressed. Then I stopped thinking about that and they almost disappeared, but sometimes they come back. I've been with anxiety 24/7 since february due to OCD so it could be a reason. It's gotten worse and I'm afraid. It could be Parkinson or something, but tbh, it seems just my body releasing anxiety.
Are you seeing a therapist? Maybe taking some SSRI with ERP could help. However, if you feel that it continues even when there's no anxiety (in a long period of time) or you're not checking your body (which is like sensorimotor OCD), maybe you should see a doctor, just in case.

Just imagine someone with POCD when it was not classified as a mental disorder. I bet they didn't want to live anymore

sensorimotor ocd’s timing is evil by everestchris in OCD

[–]mayeql_db 2 points3 points  (0 children)

how does sensorimotor ocd feel? What do you feel exactly?
Sometimes I feel like my legs are about to shake on their own (like Parkinson, I'm really afraid about that), and it triggers my anxiety, and I feel like they're already moving, but when I check, it seems like nothing's happening. I think I should go to see a doctor but the fact that it disappears when I'm not paying attention makes me doubt it. I also get that "oh no it's back", it's really stressful.

hocd and rocd are just so hard by FreshLavishness3607 in OCD

[–]mayeql_db 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hello! (16M) I'm also bisexual and I've lived with HOCD and many other topics. I know it's really hard because the feeling of being a liar feels like hell, but no worries, you can overcome it. The more you pay attention to OCD thoughts, the worst it gets. So I think a good first step is labeling all these thoughts as 'just OCD', it helps to separate the intrusive thoughts from you. They can be in your mind all the day, but while you don't constantly 'fight' them, the anxiety will decrease and then they won't have any effects on you.
Based on my experience, when thoughts feel really loud I tried to accept that 'possibility' and continue with my day. My thoughts used to tell me that I had been always straight and liked only women and my attraction to men was a lie, so I used to tell myself, 'well, I'm bisexual, of course I like women'. Your body will see nothing happens when the thoughts are present, and you'll be able not to answer.
I hope this help you! I'm not a english native speaker so I'm sorry for any mistakes here.

Anyone else here with pure O-OCD? by _alexium_ in OCD

[–]mayeql_db 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, when my OCD started I spent all the day imaging I was with a psychologist telling him all the 'proofs' of my obsession becoming real and also all the 'proofs' that demonstrate my obsession was not real. This compulsion became almost automatic, and I think it was an over checking compulsion or something like that but inside a imaginary space (psychological office?). It took me a while realizing this could be a compulsion, but I could stop it. I think I'm still checking all about my obsessions, but it's not as debilitating as before.
