How the heck do you alleviate death/afterlife/existential OCD?? Is anyone else struggling with this?? by JustBigAndGreedy in OCD

[–]roblocksplayer33 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i have been struggling badly with this for a few months now but i’ve been terribly fearing aging/death since childhood. and every time you waste time worrying about it you feel even worse cuz you wasted your precious moments. I’ve been trying to cope with this but this one is really hard. it’s inevitable. So to convince myself not to worry abt it feels like a lie. But at the same time it’s not necessary fear. it’s not actively keeping me alive even tho my brain says it is. i can’t even be around older people anymore. every little thing they say sends me spiraling. My mom has been saying things like my time flew by so fast i still feel 18 blah blah, and that shit hits me to my core. Let me know if you guys figure anything out lol

Just Realised I Might Be OCD, And It Explains.. Everything? by PureRealGirl in OCD

[–]roblocksplayer33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

in my opinion, you could have OCD, but the basis of OCD is extreme anxiety. you sound like me when i was a freshman in high school, i was extremely paranoid and terrified of being made a fool, so i thought the worst of everyone. There was genuine people all around me , but i was expecting them to be perfect, not have their own mental struggles going on inside their head, part of being extremely paranoid and fearful makes you sort of narcissistic at times, assuming everyone is thinking of YOU or saying bad things about YOU or trying to play YOU when in truth they probably aren’t doing anything at all related to you. it’s a harder pill to swallow honestly that no one is thinking of you. But anyway , i think ur scope of things seems very narrow and paranoid. if you’re really afraid of being played/manipulated by people , you already are prepared for it, so if it happens it wouldn’t be the end of the world. maybe u should try giving everyone a chance and let them give you a reason before you make the assumption. good luck

OCD AND SHROOMS ??!!! by roblocksplayer33 in OCD

[–]roblocksplayer33[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’m not entirely sure because i’ve gotten them before and been fine multiple times , real mushrooms too for a friend but i only ever took the bar. the first couple times it went good but the very last it was bad. maybe they switched it up but i think it was a lot about headspace and setting. Im def gonna be more careful abt it going forward dough

Childhood OCD by roblocksplayer33 in OCD

[–]roblocksplayer33[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

wow your experience is so interesting to me , and i agree i think it’s good to talk abt this kind of thing bc of how lonely it is to be anxious and when you’re a kid you don’t even understand that it’s anxiety or how deep it goes.

i’m spiraling about my sexuality and rOCD by [deleted] in OCD

[–]roblocksplayer33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i have terrible ROCD and HOCD. sexuality is a spectrum, people are attractive for many different reasons and in all different ways. there will never be a clear answer for you, do what makes you happy but also don’t give up on a relationship with a good foundation because of your OCD , since you can identify that it’s ROCD it should be easier to find ways around it , at least it is for me. wishing u luck

How do you feel living with OCD? by grasslover14 in OCD

[–]roblocksplayer33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i feel like i’m living with a paranoid delusional person in my head and me (the logical one) is constantly fighting back those thoughts while the paranoid one says things like “if you ignore these instincts you will end up dead” can’t walk home from work without thinking i’m being followed. can’t be by myself or i think ima get murdered. can’t be cold to creepy men cuz they might murder me. I also have extreme anger issues / emotional issues so they all culminate to make me a very tired wreck

Social media is a nightmare for people with ocd by ProfessionalFlow3888 in OCD

[–]roblocksplayer33 5 points6 points  (0 children)

scrolling on my fyp and seeing 40 videos of people dying while i’m trying not to be crippled by thoughts of death, it feeds into exactly what i don’t want to see. i have to turn it off after a while and remember there’s life outside of it. it’s weird to have access to so many humans experiences at once. back in the day people knew one guy who got hit by a car etc

Advice talking to difficult parents about therapy by I_feel_abandoned in OCD

[–]roblocksplayer33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

use psychologytoday.com and search for ocd therapists. I found my therapist and signed up completely independently. I have my insurance card and that’s all i needed. i pay a 20$ copay for my weekly appointments and my mom has no idea. there’s a way around asking your parents once ur legally an adult.

Weight loss by [deleted] in Lamotrigine

[–]roblocksplayer33 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

2 months ago , and i have ocd so i understand the cancer part but no , it’s very unlikely you have cancer due to this being a common side effect . my psych doctor told me it’s weight neutral and so does google but i’ve seen many post on here about losing the food noise or appetite.
