I had all of this starting in the mid 80s. But then was better on and off through the years. Talk about a time that there were no resources. Now at 54 I still have anxiety though and it came back bad after my mom died. Losing my dad too was hard. I am back trying to get better from my anxiety and health anxiety OCD.
Thank you for sharing. What you’re saying is enlightening. A comprehensible (but misguided, as you realized later on) desire for mental relief pushed you to seek an OCD trigger-free environment, which is pretty confining. That’s was not good enough. You had to find excuses not to do normal activities to the point of wishing being physically sick or hurt. I’m sure that wouldn’t have been enough. There would have been further reasons to feel bad. However, if you went outdoors for a run, though it first may have required some efforts, you experienced a lull in your intrusive thoughts. That goes to show that the mood of the moment is not always the best indicator of what’s good for us.
I've had POCD since 12 and it wasn't til I became a mother it hit so hard and wanting to commit suicide or give her up. Wàsnt til she was 2 weeks old that I found out what OCD was. It's still a long journey but I'm fighting for her. I dont know who I am because I'm starting from scratch and I can't wait til I'm where you are.
I also want at the end of recovery because it's new trick to our brain to hold us back it wants us to compulsive behavior At that stage my body feel so weird but l am not scared longer from any sensation Lt happens due to past experiences brain wants to certainty 🥴
No we do not want to going back to our old selves. You need to keep going and you will find eventually you will discover a new you. you will be doing things you never thought possible before. Please i promise you if you dont give up things will improve. how do i know because two years ago i was were you are now. with counselling and help from this channel and yes for a while medication things became better and better. now i can hardly believe how well i am doing. god bless and all the best for the future.
well done jade, you have helped me so much this past couple of years. 😃
I just can’t imagine the pain you endured. You must be so strong. So happy you’re better. ❤
