jballan Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Hello, I have been suffering from OCD for awhile and been in treatment for about 2 years. I have a difficult time determining between what is rational vs. irrational. Often times I do things because they "feel right." I just can't help it. I am constantly thinking of some automatic negative thought and I am the person to blame for everything. It's horrible. I am my own worst judge. Things HAVE to be perfect, even though that doesn't exist. I logically understand my symptoms, but there is a huge emotional disconnect. I get depressed about being obsessive, and then I get even more depressed about being depressed. I am in this horrid cycle that doesn't seem to have an end. I am hoping to communicate with others who I can relate to and get some support through this site! I look forward to chatting with everyone. Link to comment
Guest AnnieX Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 It's a vicious circle , that some have succeeded to break. Depression / ocd / life in general . Even thought process maps are written in circles. Good luck it can be broken ! Link to comment
Guest minimexicola Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 It's a frustrating cycle and it's even harder to explain to someone who hasn't had the same thought process. Have you found that you have specific triggers that start the cycle off? Link to comment
