stanwee lee Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 As you can see, i am at my whits end and i know i shouldn't be scrolling through the internet, i know i am looking for reassurance but boy is it hard not to. I have found that when i find something that is reassuring and i know what i have read is even more concrete proof that my thoughts are my ocd and not my desires or something i want to or will act on and are infact very common in ocd , yet my mind will not accept it. In fact knowing the anxiety i am feeling is a good indicator that these thoughts are the total opposite to the person i am because the things i fear terrify me and a person who was the type of evil person i fear i could be wouldn't be concerned with these thoughts in the slightest ? I don't think there was a question in there but can anyone relate to this? Link to comment
battlethrough Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Everything you have written is textbook ocd,I can't sort myself out but I know we have to try and learn to tolerate uncertainty ,and that's a huge mountain to climb because ocd will want certainty,sorry I can't be more help Link to comment
Guest OCDhavenobrain Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 (edited) I am not sure I got it right but do you ask if it is common to never getting satisfied no matter what reassurance you get? The answer to that is a clear YES. That is why I really think that therapy is extremly important, where your therapist and you put you in situations where you expose yourself. I don't think forum really helps, do not hate me here, but I think that therapy with ONE person is the only way to go. Or the person with OCD will get confused about which advice he/she will follow.
