  1. During my worst OCD has come up in my dreams across all my themes on occasions . I think the only way to consider it is as another intrusive thought and treat it as such . You sleeping mind is bound to experience some of what happens to you during the day . It is very unpleasant when it effects this time to rest and escape . I wish you all the best in overcoming this . I know it is hard
  2. I have had a reasonable experience with Healthy Minds it has however taken over 8 weeks to get from Dr referral to enquiry to assessments and some actual support which is good compared to my last intervention 4 years ago which took over 14 weeks before I got to see anyone. It very difficult I know the wait but such is the nature of nhs mental health care. I wish you good luck and please follow up with them
  3. Sorry all I did not mean to imply any difference I have suffered from obsessions with mental compulsion for years and am going through this again after 5 years . I was simply looking for some reassurance which I know is part of my ocd and should really be avoided .
  4. Did there used to be a pure O forum here or am I on the wrong forum again
  5. Hi welcome to the forum do you have OCD and if you ever want to talk you will find a lot of support on this forum
  6. I am a Vegetarian and have been for 38 years our diet is generally known to be deficient in omega 3 and b12
  7. Thanks Taurean I am still waiting for CBT and my OCD is terrible at the moment so I desperately looking for new ways to help overcome this before my CBT starts . I am feeling very alone and isolated with this disorder . I have just joined a gym so I can walk more on the treadmill as I have an damaged knee will try some swimming as well
  8. Hi has anyone taken normal doses of Omega 3 as a supplement whilst taking SSRI’s or any other supplements and seen a benefit
  9. Dear Phillev , I experience this a lot , it is much worse when I pay it attention than when I simply let it be without engaging . If I engage I am dragged into endless ruminations on it. Ignore it and I begin to see it as OCD chatter . Hopes and thoughts are with you and all of us that have to live with this disorder
  10. Thanks Angst hours later I am now calmer and your explanation seems more reasonable . I love the people on this forum thanks for your support
  11. Thanks malina I am extremely grateful for your words as you say I have had this disorder on and off for many years . This time it is worse and my medication does not appear to be helping . I have always had a tendency to be able to panic myself and I will try some mindfulness later this evening
  12. I am waiting for CBT and a referral to my local Psychiatric unit . I am as you say very anxious Malina . I do need to calm down
  13. Hi Polar Bear I really respect your opinion and have found your video on rumination helpful . It like an involuntary intrusive sentences that taunt me . I know I am doing it to myself it is not an external voice But I get very distressed as they are like intrusive images but sentences . At the moment I don’t need much to make me anxious
  14. hi my usual intrusive thoughts are images and occasionally words that pop into my mind and I ruminate on this for hours . I have been trying to refocus from rumination by trying not to spend time ruminating for hours lying on my bed but instead do something to distract me from my thoughts . I have had some small success with this but today my OCD has hit back . I have had thoughts like “ you can’t distract yourself from what you are “ it is like OCD is taunting me . I know these are not some other voices in my head , but it has raised thoughts in my head about Schizophrenia OCD . In identifying my thoughts as OCD thoughts and listening to it am I creating a separate me in my head my OCD me . Does anyone else have intrusive thoughts of OCD taunting you and concerns about Schizophrenia OCD and how have you coped wit it I know the voice in my head is me thinking but it sure is unpleasant arguing with yourself and your intrusive thoughts are like a spoken sentence . As I also suffer from depersonalisation this is very disturbing
  15. I think OCD rumination can latch onto anything . If you are feeling “bad” about your OCD thoughts this style of thinking and obsessing can be applied to other thoughts you have which you perceive as “bad” . You are clearly concerned about these thoughts , you are clearly obsessing about them and the process you are following mentally is typical of OCD . I don’t think OCD neatly fits a simple theme we give it such as HOCD or POCD or ROCD. It is just OCD thinking
