i relate to absolutely everything shes talking about so deeply

maybe i need help idk.

theres like 5 replies and i can only see 2..😭😭

ok i didn't intend on this getting as many likes as it did whatsoever im not self diagnosing but i totally understand what the girl is talking about bc i do believe i experience the same kind of thoughts that literally take so much time from my life and affect my relationships

btw i don't recommend anyone here to follow me because this is a diary where i talk about my eating disorder mostly and i doubt yall want this kind of content on ur feeds

I was early diagnosed with ocd, i decided to take up writing to build scenarios where i cantrol the narrative rather than think of real scenarios in my head and replay it over and over again without having any control, i use to feel so crazy wondering what others thought of me.

that seems like a good idea but im not sure if my brain will actually register it in a way that feels right or satisfactory enough to put the real scenario below it, i try to just force myself to think of something else like a story from a movie or something else i read/did

Its extremely difficult if you are not already built with a creative mind but judging your relatability with this person, it isn’t that difficult but you would need to determine if its creative thinking or just your anxiety.

ive been diagnosed with severe anxiety for years and tbh like other people i have never been able to manage it so i force myself to not care or avoid it by thinking of something else, and im not sure thats normal for someone thats been in therapy for years, it mostly just ends in

a cycle of thinking about something else just to go back to the thought i was having all over again until i actually manage to distract myself doing something else, sometimes its not as bad and sometimes it gets really bad idk what to make of it

I really hope it gets better for you!💕

thank u :') i hope the same for u💝

Yeah NO. I don’t like this because OCD is a very specific condition and a lot of girls do shit like this just because they’re desperate and have attachment issues. I relate to what she’s saying but if you don’t already have OCD then this is not due to it.

im not self diagnosing im relating to her video bc trust me the things she lists are gen debilitating for me and they consume me and i think its something worth taking a lot at if i want to get better, i understand ocd is a very misunderstood disorder but u dont know me

Girl, you need to get into math. Because it quantifies uncertainty. You see the world through a lens of odds and probabilities and objective functions. You can start at any age, I promise.

that last one is definitely a big struggle for me lol

it literally sends me into a spiral where i somehow convince myself im the worst person ever in every area possible and my friends hate me and are pretending to like me and also everyone has done me wrong because they hate me

This all just sounds like human life ?

Nope, people just be moving weird and nasty and you’re trying to make sense of it. Get away from evil people.

I relate to everything except the first one tbh

a lot of these are actually normal, what makes them ocd as per the video is the intensity of them and how debilitating they are in your life

Childhood trauma. *Cough. Cough.*

seems more like BPD

symptoms can overlap between disorders but theyre ultimately different disorders centered around different things and triggers, this is just a subtype of ocd people struggle with, bpd is just as debilitating

Wait….

This is tiresome

Who has the memory and bandwidth to remember to do this?

oh. guess i will bringing his up to my therapist now

Oh that’s nice. My doctor told me it’s schizophrenia! 😬

A lot of this is just being young lol. It’ll go away as you age

I relate so much to point 3, 4 and 5 😭😭

Oh…
