Does anyone else..

Feel guilty for not giving into compulsions like rumination and confessing? I feel guilt for having an intrusive thought, trying to shrug it off or just giving it a few seconds of thought and moving along. This sounds like improvement but I still struggle with the anxiety and the guilt. The shame. I’ll be okay and then I’ll remember I have OCD and my stomach will drop and I just want to curl up and cry.

sometimes i try to "calm" my own thoughts, and it really is bizarre! they keep going over in my mind to see if i still feel groin sensations. like a horror movie that just gets worse! and there are some that sound like voices, telling me why i like that situation, why it's 3xc1ting..☠️ all because of this damn disorder! you're not wrong in not giving in to compulsions, but rather aware of your improvement. i hope this passes! ♡

@Ishtar._ Me too! I hope it gets better for you. I know what you mean, it can get really chaotic in there. It really sucks

It’s very common but don’t do compulsions; it just makes it all worse in the long run.

I get anxiety with just having the thoughts or images which we can’t even control. I just went a couple months and I felt alright and didn’t have many intrusive thoughts but this week at work especially it’s been non stop

I totally feel that! I feel like my OCD is being obsessed with getting a new subtype, so if something new pops up or I'm afraid my OCD will latch onto it, I feel the need to tell someone. I even will start thinking about needing to talk to my therapist, but almost as a reassurance compulsion. Between sessions, I'm trying to just use the NOCD app and practice my ERP skills to not give in to the need to confess, it just fuels the OCD cycle. It's hard but you can do it, I think it will get easier with practice!

Does anyone else have the compulsion to confess? Even if I haven’t actually done anything my OCD will give me reasons that whatever I’ve done has either hurt someone or will cause people to dislike me. Is that just me?

OCD even in therapy

Does anyone feel guilty after therapy? I know I have experienced guilt after my therapy session and start obsessing on if I was talking too much or if I said something wrong? Does anyone feel embarrassed sometimes when they share what their OCD makes them do with compulsions? I know logically that there is nothing wrong with sharing in therapy, or being open and honest to receive help, but sometimes my OCD makes me question it and doubt myself, and I wanted to see if anyone could relate?

🤓 OCD & Guilt

For me with ocd… it’s honestly the guilt, because mine comes in question forms and an answer is provided and if it feels like yes ocd tells me i don’t deserve to live or have good things which keeps me ruminating until i can dispel the answer is no or idk. If i can overcome that guilt I could beat this. That niggling ocd guilt that says the question needs to be solved Has anyone else experienced them have overcame it?
