OCD with my new nintendo switch
Rourke replied to Stopplease's topic in Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
It's when I read threads like this I don't feel alone. Recently I won so cash at bingo yippee . Decided to upgrade my kindle to latest model. Went to shop asked for a white one. " sorry sir only have black at the moment " so I took the black one ( too impatient to wait 2 days for white). Loved it reading on it felt great then ....,.,, my head said " yeah but it would be better in white". Booom I was off in " if only " world. I stopped using it couldn't look at it and my bottom was reached 2 days later when I thought " I'm going to drop it so will have to buy a white one " I sat with the anixity and then just like that it was gone. It's now been replaced with a feeling of gratitude every time I use it from the bingo win to the kindle. Believe me people 5 /6 years ago I would have dropped it -
Welcome David. My OCD is predominantly mental and I could so relate to the " going to the toilet " to do my thinking. I also say or should I say " lie" to my wife that my stomach aches and I need to lie down. I have gotten a lot better because like you I was bored and sick about the life I was missing out on

I used to think the best feeling in the world was relief. But having done work on my OCD I now know the best feeling in the world is empowerment and victory however big or small

Thanks Taurean

Hi everyone my particular form my OCD takes is making sure I get past conversations right example obsession = did that person say that compulsion= going over the conversation in my head using couple of different words that could have been said to make sure I get it right. I have had cbt and know all about the spikes letting the anxiety ride without doing the compulsion or seeking reasurence. Been doing really well and can go days doing the things I need to do and being ok. It's just at the moment I'm full of "why me" and " this is not fair ". I have had the strength and feeling of " I've got it " I have had that detachment to see OCD for what it is just right now and past week nothing seems to be working

Hi Caroline first your English is fantastic. If you don't mind would you elaborate on your ocd. Is the obsession to blink? Therefore you blink to aliviate the spike clive -

Is the ruminating about why you are thinking about the guy or some train of thought about a scenario with him involved? -
