I mean is it okay to just be physically unrest when disregarding painful thoughts? Like moving your feet when trying to disregard thoughts?

It is really hard to just stand still when these thoughts are present.. My mind just keeps asking is these restlessness compulsion? I just think it is a normal reaction to anxiety

I want to ask something to other ocd sufferers. Is a compulsion or ressurance, to tell your friend about your obsesseions and to tell him that you feel very sad and depressed... Because I do this 1-2 times a day. Is this a compulsion that I should stop?

Yes I think that is something that I have to stop.. But the truth is that it's difficult.. I shouldn't tell all the time that I'm sad.... I have to accept that I'm all the time sad and live with these feelings

and also telling people you're sad and all is good. no doubts about it but here's the thing. It's up to you how to make yourself happy

and also, if you're an atheist which i leaned my beliefs heavily before this pandemic occurs, i found out that all you gotta do i have a leap of faith in religion. Pessimism only adds up to your cartlist of worries so you gotta understand that.

it's the flawed way of thinking. your mind deteriorates from constantly asking question. what we really need right now is do what you gotta do.

I am starting to find this forum very disappointing and frustrating. It was really helping me and I was trying to help others. However, now there is so much spam or people hacking into the forum that it is adding to my stress when I come on it. Is there not a way in which this can be fixed permanently - like an anti-virus protection etc. Please try to keep an eye on this problem. Thank you.

Try to resist the compulsion to seek reassurance. Seeking reassurance will feel better at first, but it will make your OCD worse in the long run. Try to disregard the thoughts to do so and focus on something else. After little while your anxiety usually decreases. That is my experience anyway.

The idea of not being able to seek reassurance is so scary to me though, do I really have to go through this all alone?

In my opinion it is always scary not seeking reassurance. Try postponing doing it for a little while and see if your anxiety drops a little.

I dated my girlfriend when we were about 18 yrs old, and didnβt feel Iβm love with her, but we reconnected and are dating again (22 years old now) I love her very much and sometimes want to spend my life with her, but worry that if I didnβt love her then, I just be lying to myself now. I worry about if I just donβt want to hurt her feelings again like I did when I was younger.

We have talked recently about moving moving in together and the thought simultaneously fills me with joy and scares me, I worry that Iβll discover in a year or so that I really was lying to myself but then it will hurt her even more if I leave. I donβt want to leave her though, and hate myself for thinking I might.

I think I have pure o and have trouble falling asleep. I had to take medication to sleep and now Iβm in despair. I feel like Iβll never be ok again. I obsess over sleep and have no life. I feel like Iβm dying inside

Melissa your seeking re-assurance... You need to understand OCD will drain you, will scare you.. will take everything away from you should you let it- You need to 1. recgonize that you have OCD- 2- start the recovery road! I am always here to help.. but i will not give re-assurance.
