    It's crazy how fast it creeps up on you. I used to find myself googling for respite, looking for an answer from anyone that eased my OCD. Read all sorts of books, finally realised the content of the thought doesn't matter. It's your reaction and relationship to the thought.
    Hardest thing is keeping up the practice. 4 things, mindfulness, box breathing. Helps to catch it early on. Got a diary where I write down tallies of the thought. Realised that it's what I care about most that it hangs on. What if I don't love my wife? What if I go crazy? What if I'm in the matrix? What if I wake up and forgot what I did? What if I freak out in public and get restrained? Etc etc. It hangs on what you can't 100% guarantee. It's just thoughts. The fact that you react with such horror and fear shows that you don't really feel this way. Just accept the thought, and carry on. Don't Google, don't debate, just float and feel baybay!!
    Good luck all x

    Debilitating problem of mine. The amount of time I spend in a store. How I've been obsessing about the color wall paint I'm going to choose. Don't even talk to me about decisions that actually matter.

    For me it has a lot to do with wanting to do something but then thinking "What if doing this doesn't make me feel happy, so it means I can't be happy ever again, and I get depressed?" (my main theme is Suicidal OCD)
    So I end up just spending the entire day in front of the computer, not doing anything and then getting anxious about not having done anything. I've been trying to make more active decisions but it's so hard, since I always get this feeling that if I make a decision that doesn't bring me (immediate) happiness, I'll end up in a horrible place

    I have an OCD of checking things for a definite number. Earlier the number was 4×4 and now it is 6×6=36 times in total. And if I get confused or disturbed during this then I restart again with number 1. It's really frustrating for me . I check each and everything before going to work and after coming back home from work. Literally each and everything, I count them for 36 times in total before going to work and after coming back from work. And even at my work I'm afraid for everything I write and do and recheck them also again and again. And because of this I'm unable to do work at time and take so much extra time to do little work.
    My checking OCD started when I once left my home door open and came back after 2 days and got to know about it. Then I checked my each and every belonging, especially my important things. That whole night I kept checking things for a million times. That night was really horrible for me, I was reassuring myself again and again that I have everything and nothing is stolen or missing.
    And since that day I have started checking my lock and other important things again and again before leaving for work. And only go out for work nothing else. Because it haunts me to check everything before going and after coming.
    Even going to work is becoming hard task for me, it takes so much of my energy Literally about half an hour daily and sometimes more than that before leaving home. And after coming Back also the same.
    I want to go out Normally and live a normal life but I am unable to convince my brain for that.
    I am tired of this OCD in my life. I want a solution for it and cannot deal with it anymore . I want to live normal like I used to.
    PLEASE HELP

    OCD has vanished most of my creativity. I have been fighting against it for 4 years now. I sometimes try to fight back but fail due to my lack of confidence. I understand my OCS but it is soooo hard to manage.

    On some things no. But almost everything, Yes. I'm not allowed to be "selfish" and have my own opinions. I feel less than about so many things. On many things, I can't even figure out all the options (right now!) And I'm supposed to make the best decision. There are too many or too few options,and not enough or strangely sometimes too much time where there seems to be an endless, ♾️ infinite amount of time, which can be harmful....and I would delay and put off and procrastinate. But sometimes having the pressure off helps. This is multifaceted and there are too many variables in consideration to ponder before.... I don't know what. I'd rather not. I'd rather not do it. I'd rather throw up. It depends on the situation or decision at hand and who else is there, what are the expectations, or are those also unknown? This can go any kind of way and I'd like to be prepared or just jump right in, but I need to know what I'm doing. Too much information, too many details, I'm lost. Not enough or no clarity or I'm distracted by several of my own thoughts, therefore, I have missed out on all or part of your answer or instructions / explanations / directions/ answers/ questions, etc. It is convoluted, I know. So complex, I don't know what to say. People talk over me sometimes and I mix up and mess up my words and it is maddening. Overstimulated. Underwhelmed and or overwhelmed. Weird, feeling isolated and stuck to fend for myself, except for God helping me. It is like everyone or many others know these other things, subjects, languages I don't know anything about, and they think I'm dumb or will catch on to what they're saying and there isn't very much comprehension here for me right now. It feels far way and practically permanently misunderstood. Sheesh this is long.... Thanks if you made it this far! ❤
