Rough OCD

Well I’ve had OCD all my life, ever since I was a kid. Their are times that it can get rough, and the funny thing is we all know that they’re irrational thoughts and intrusions into our minds. I do try and ignore the thoughts, and try and not do the rituals but sometimes it can be overwhelming. The one thing I do is sometimes I do the rituals in front of my daughter and she’s tells me to stop. I try not to do them but sometimes they can be so hard to ignore. Anyways the good thing is tomorrow I have an appt with my therapist. Thank you all......SAMSON

I am sorry to hear that you are going through a rough time.

I can relate to not able to stop the rituals.

The anxiety gets out of control.

I am glad that you have found a therapist.

Hopefully, the therapist is caring, supporting, and has knowledge for OCD.

Take Good Care.

Small steps.try to take it step by step. And try to be healthy and kind to your self. Know that it’s not your fault. Drink water eat. Keep going. Do happy things you enjoy when you can just think about how good things can be. And look forward ik it’s rough I have ocd it’s a pain but with the rain there’s rainbows and sunny days that come after. Good luck!
