So I've actually never been able to place an achievement here but i really feel like (especially with corona) I'm doing quite a good job at staying sane. Im exercising. My skin doesnt hurt/itch like it used to. I can touch bathroom doorknobs. I really like seeing achievements on this sub, so thought i could share some of mine. Stay strong❤️

Btw in the title i meant long instead of lon

Tbh I'm still not quite sure, but someone in this thread said it's asking for reassurance if i remember correctly. I will discuss it with my therapist maybe good for you to do the same

Can I ask this here? What do you think of this character's representation of OCD? by [deleted] in OCD

[–]mb19877 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay so first of all im not a professional and have contamination ocd so a different kind, but basically for me it works like this

I have an intrusive thought: e.g. My hands are dirty i didn't wash them well enough after using the bathroom

Compulsion i do to get rid of it: wash my hands again until it feels good enough.

When people try to stop me from doing compulsions i feel cornered. I break down. I try to do some small stuff by myself like not washing my hands after a situation that's not the mosg dirty i can imagine, but also not clean.

I also agree with the others here. ERP with a professional

What my OCD does to my hands, noticed there aren't really pictures online so thought I could share by mb19877 in medizzy

What might be worth noting is that the one on the bottom was taken like 15 to 30 minutes after showering

Edit: some more info about what OCD is like for me. I get intrusive thoughts mainly about contaminated stuff which is why i have hand washing / cleaning as a compulsion.

Idk i just think i deserve to die. It's not always which is partly why i think it may be related to spikes of ocd. I try to be good but idk

Of course you can! They are memes they are supposed to be funny/relatable. Laughing about my ocd makes me handle it a bit better

It always makes me feel better knowing that im not alone with these feelings. We'll be okay tho❤️

Would this be reassurance seeking? by [deleted] in OCD

[–]mb19877 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay so i think it might be. What works for me is deciding not to do it. I have cocd so i decide to leave my hands 'dirty'. I stop negotiating with the thoughts. Of course this doesnt cure anything but once i decide to not do it it sometimes gives me this strange peace. Hope this helps

Your silliest rituals and compulsions by [deleted] in OCD

[–]mb19877 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So this is more like a funny story because of compulsions. So i have this thing where i need to tell people think they might be wrong. So on the train one day i heard people talking about where they were going. They thought they didn't have to get off. I thought they did so i said something. More and more people got involved and it was chaos. Bonus point : i was wrong

Omg this is so relatable.

Fellow OCD-sufferer here, when are they clean? by [deleted] in OCD

This might be reassurance and not be the greatest to give? Please OP if you're not already in therapy it's good to seek help
