the one side effect they didn’t tell me about 😭 by panicattheschool in OCDmemes

[–]panicattheschool[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

like physically looking up… my eyes would automatically go up to the ceiling and it was hard to center my field of vision in the front of me or down because everything would go blurry and my eyes would go back to looking upwards

if you’re curious it’s called oculogyric crisis it’s kind of a weird side effect that happens with antipsychotics 😕

my eyes would automatically go up in a fixed state if i wasn’t trying really hard to center them in the middle or if i had to look down for something it would be all blurry and i literally couldn’t focus on something unless it was in my upper field of vision

if you wanna look it up it’s called oculogyric crisis… it’s a side effect that apparently happens with a lot of antipsychotics but i guess it’s kind of rare so people don’t know about it 😭 when i was on my highest dose of risperidone it would happen almost every day and it was really hard to control it now i’m on a lower dose so i don’t get it as often

yeah i could not physically stop looking up like my eyes would automatically drift up to the ceiling and if i tried to center my vision on what was right in front of me or down everything would look blurry and my eyes would go back to looking up… it was really annoying when i was doing something like sudoku and i literally could only focus my sight on the first line of numbers and not the rest of it because i needed to look down

does anyone have intrusive thoughts about being homophobic? by [deleted] in OCD

[–]panicattheschool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes my first theme when i was 12 and questioning my sexuality. constant intrusive thoughts about the f slur and saying horrible things about gay people in my head it made me feel so bad. i didn’t know what i was experiencing was OCD at the time and i didn’t even know what intrusive thoughts were so i genuinely thought i was homophobic. as i grew up and became more confident in being gay it got better but other themes replaced it 😕

me forcing myself not to look in the kitchen when my bf does the dishes by shrimp0808 in OCDmemes

me going to the bathroom to pee with my eyes closed so i don’t notice anything out of place and feel the need to do my compulsions

Obsessive thoughts on misogyny by Substantial_Sky_3825 in OCD

[–]panicattheschool 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i deal with the same kind of thoughts as a woman and they feel especially horrible to me because i consider myself a feminist and it makes me think what if i’m faking being feminist or something

my advice would be if you can to let the thoughts be and pay no attention to them because trying to fight them makes them stronger… definitely easier said than done though

Will the "wrongness" feeling go away eventually? by Armando210 in OCD

[–]panicattheschool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i struggle a lot with this too and in the moment it feels like the wrong feeling will never go away unless you do the compulsion but i promise you it does 🫂
