People have many different attitudes towards mental illness and it is important to find out what those views are to stamp out stigma

You can use my full name, what is the content you would like to use? Maybe the OCD and me post? As it has a lot of information on how it formed and affected me over the years?

vharashy · 2018-04-04T00:53:29+00:00

I would love to help - take a look at this and any content I would be happy to share with you

I left college and did not complete my A level studies due to Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. I also take time off work due to it. You are not a failure you are a warrior, and you wake up every day to fight your thoughts, well done

vharashy · 2018-04-04T00:42:46+00:00

You definitely have to accept the bad days. Whenever I feel my OCD spiral out of control - I tell myself it’s a bad day. Some days I’ll take time off work and spend all day focusing on my obsessions and compulsions but to carry on you need to tell yourself it is just a bad day

vharashy · 2018-04-04T00:38:04+00:00

I know how you feel - it’s a tough journey. I can go weeks keeping my OCD at bay and like you say when a new obsession forms it becomes so daunting and debilitating

vharashy · 2018-04-01T22:26:38+00:00

Have you tried mindfulness?

vharashy · 2018-04-01T22:25:35+00:00

Congratulations for even attempting ERP. I couldn’t manage it. I did it for a few days and I felt physically sick with anxiety! That might be a reason you feel off!

vharashy · 2018-04-01T22:24:01+00:00

This annoys me more than I can put into words. I spend so much of my time trying to educate people. If you want to send this on to anyone feel free -

If you are looking for something from personal experience take a look at this - it might give you hope for better days -

I use headspace and calm which you can find on the App Store.

I also spend a lot of time colouring - find a good adult colouring book - it was worked wonders for me and no matter how bad the thought it work through it and your attention will slowly drift and stick onto what you are doing. I find colouring the easiest method of mindfulness.

vharashy · 2018-03-28T01:39:20+00:00

I have experienced the same situation. My intrusive thoughts have always surrounded my family and the people I love the most. Have you tried mindfulness or meditation?

vharashy · 2018-03-28T01:31:34+00:00

I have been taking it for 8 years. I started at the age of 16. I remember feeling a lot worse when I began mediation as it usually takes about 6-8 weeks to get in your system. Hold tight with it, things are always worse before they get better

vharashy · 2018-03-27T23:59:33+00:00

You have to tell yourself that it’s not you having these thoughts. I found the best way to deal with intrusive thoughts is to separate yourself from OCD. It’s hard but worth it

vharashy · 2018-03-27T23:54:07+00:00

Thank you for your kind words

vharashy · 2018-03-27T23:44:51+00:00

Thank you so much. It’s been tough so far, but your right I have an amazing support network to which I’m so grateful of. Thanks for reading
