Ocd is not only a thinking disorder but a feeling disorder as well😢

Im tired of losing my life to this. Time to be uncertain and not give a fuck. It does feel like you are crawling in your skin not doing compulsions.

To everyone living with OCD, please remember you’re not alone. We’re all fighting the same battles and we can get through it.
The ERP can feel like a nightmare but it’s worth it to get to the other side of this crappy disorder. We can beat this!

Sometimes the fear is so so big for even 1% chances of a bad thing happening. This is where ERP plays an important role.

This guy just described my problem to a t. He obviously knows this condition very well and can treat it. If only I could have therapy with him.

I don't have OCD, I have Social Anxiety Disorder, but I am finding sooo many similarities. I get intrusive thoughts that people are observing me and scrutinising my behaviour, so a safety behaviour of mine is to 'act natural' all the time. I got a bit lost walking home the other day, but when I noticed, I didn't turn around because I thought that someone might notice that I had made a mistake and that they would find this amusing. I just 'casually' continued walking in the wrong direction. I had to try to find my way back home by making it look like I knew exactly where I was going.
If there are no people associated with the thing I'm doing, I'm mostly alright. But people are associated with most things in a person's life.

I think I think it scares me what people may think of me for having that thought

This was a great video. Just because a thought/worry is more intense, doesn't make the chances of it happening more true.

I truly aspire to be as intelligent and healing as Dr. McGarath. Seeing the work he’s done honestly inspires me to heal my OCD so I can eventually be a vessel of service for others as well!

I feel like for me, a person who spent 30 years with a narcissistic mother, the key to not buying thoughts is finding confidence and love for myself so I can feel secure in myself. If I keep feeling like I'm not good enough and that nothing I do matters cause I'll always mess up and be a had person that it's easy to accept negative thoughts about myself and others
