“Physical compulsions, which so many assume are the greatest burden of OCD, may be only modest indicators of a terrible internal struggle.”

“Physical compulsions, which so many assume are the greatest burden of OCD, may be only modest indicators of a terrible internal struggle.”
I gotta say, I’m real happy that I went through with trying Effexor. This last month, I’ve been doing consistently good & better with my anxiety & depression. I’m doing so much better with my goals & I’m excited to leave the house when, a month ago, i had panic attacks just thinking about going to the grocery store. I was literally SO scared of taking it cause of what i read online, that I almost told my psych I wasnt gonna take it; but I dont even get the terrible side effects when i dont take it on time!! I used to be nauseous all the time & have brain zaps regularly while on lexapro. Everyone really does react to meds differently
Me: depressed af literally too anxious to leave the house (agoraphobic) and caught in a time loop of my own feral grotesque nightmare in which I die before experiencing living.
My sister: why didn't you do the dishes today?!
You forget to take your meds and get a headache. I forget to take my meds and have an intense sex dream about a man dressed as a cat.
We are not the same.
I really wish ocd intrusive thoughts weren't so stigmatized and misunderstood even in "anti ableism" communities because the thoughts alone can ruin your entire life. You see yourself as unsafe to even people you love--I know of a mother who refused to be around her own children because one of her intrusive thoughts was that she's a pedophile and a danger to children. Like this shit makes you want to die but you can't talk about it because everyone reinforces the idea that you are in fact actually dangerous which is...already what people with intrusive thoughts think about themselves. No one knows how horrific ocd actually is to deal with because no one can talk about it. It's even worse for abuse victims whose intrusive thoughts are related to abuse THEY experienced...anyways.
literally so happy to only be on ADD meds rn. the horrible cocktail of mood stabilizers I was taking literally made me start hearing voices.
Just a reminder not to let uncertainty stop you from doing things that keep u healthy and happy! Yeah, maybe that thing you fear is true and it would be reasonable to try control/cope/avoid it. But risk it anyway, be unreasonable!
when you think everything is lovely and wonderful and sunshine/rainbows//unicorns in your relationship and then the rOCD comes back
the highlight of my day is the brief moment of peace that comes right when waking up, right before becoming aware of my surroundings.
The most powerful weapon against OCD and any anxiety, is acceptance of uncertainty.
when you try your hardest to fend off your intrusive thoughts and obsessive compulsions but theyre coming at you at mach speed and youre just like
anyway i rarely talk about ocd on here but those days where you barely have any obsessive thoughts running through your head? or at least so few that you can brush them off? those are the days that keep me going honestly ocd is a nightmare and even a few hours of relief feels like when a terrible headache finally goes away for a minute (although, with both its still not truly gone,,,)
me with adhd about everything:

I’ve abandoned myself so much that basic self care feels selfish
