Before the coaching with Michele I had some ideas what I needed to do for recovery, because of the research I did. But when I got to speak to Michele the approach of recovery got really significantly simplified. I was way to concerned before and thought about so many different things, while with Michelle’s help it got easier to live my normal life again and get back on the right path. Therefor I am really grateful to have found Ali Greymond and through her Michele because I don’t know where I would be now otherwise. I can only encourage everybody who needs to read this to try the coaching because it really helps!

If you zoom out enough, I guess what I'm saying isn't much different from "OCD thoughts are OCD thoughts, content is content". I know it's a lot harder to see it that way when it seems so logical, but that's why I say you don't need the layer of OCD anxiety on top of whatever else

It is a separate thing, and it does add its own distortion or amplification, making things seem more extreme or scary or threatening or anxiety-inducing than they otherwise would, and causes you to miss details by focusing so narrowly on things

i just need somewhere to vent where people will at least understand what’s going on. i feel so hopeless and beat down. i’ve tried so hard for recovery and yet i always seem to reach a certain point and never move forward from that. i just recently had a ocd attack out of seemingly nowhere. i feel so exhausted and beat down. none of this makes any sort of sense & im genuinely so exhausted

how do i go from celebrating one day that my symptoms were barely there and in the backseat (even when i was drinking w friends!) and back to this, where i’m scared to get out of bed because i can’t go through another day of panic and anxiety. how did it all just unravel so fast

I'm so anxious right now! I had a sleep over with my younger cousin. She slept in the same bed as much as I didn't want her to, I was dreading it (because of my POCD). I don't remember what happened a hundred percent clearly but I remember during the night that my leg touched hers and I liked it and pulled away really quickly. I don't remember if I had an urge to do it and acted on that urge or if

*If it just happened, but I'm pretty sure I had the urge. The next morning, I asked her if I had hurt her (I wasn't going to go into all the details, she's a kid) but she claimed she was asleep and doesn't remember anything. I kept asking her again and again and again and I feel like confessing to somebody. I think I might have molested my cousin...and my brain has been fixating on it on and off

*For weeks. Because I'm pretty sure either I had the urge to do it and did it, or my leg touched hers automatically and I liked the feeling. The more I ruminated, the more blurry it became. And I remember not having initial anxiety to the incident, but I still did ruminate all night (without anxiety) and hardly got any sleep. That was when I decided to ask her if she had felt me ''kick her''

i’ve read what you said and it does not sound like you assaulted her at all. the doubts is your ocd trying to prove itself right. i think you really have to lead this with allowing uncertainty to exist, even though i know how difficult it can be. so anytime you start to wonder if you acted on an urge, don’t try to answer that. accidentally touching someone’s leg while you’re asleep is p co

I wasn't asleep when this happened, that's why I remember it. She was asleep and claims she doesn't remember my leg touching hers. But I really question whether I did it on purpose or not. I don't remember whether I had the urge to touch her or not or whether it just happened. I remember liking the feeling and that's the scary part

In fact I did not sleep after the incident. I never sleep when she comes round to sleep over because I just ruminate about what could happen. I hate when she sleeps in the bed with me and always try to make compromises. It's just too extreme of an exposure and now I'm afraid I have hurt her...

Again, the more I ruminated, anxiety or not, the more fuzzy it became. I cannot say for certain whether I had an urge and acted on it and whether it was an accident and I liked the feeling. I asked her to sleep on the other side of the bed and not next to me that night. Maybe that was avoidance but I was so afraid something like this would happen.

Does anyone else have this problem where they don't feel anxiety and instead, a building up physical tension feeling in their head, and indifference? But also slight uncomfortableness with that?

Don't worry, this is OCD. It knows this is what you're scared of and makes you feel it so that you're more scared. This is how it works.

Hello. I’m new here but I have been suffering with ocd for several years. I’m wondering, does anyone else ever experience ROCD out with a romantic relationship? I have thoughts about not loving my mother and it feels very real. And when I try to think its OCD I keep thinking ‘but I don’t feel like I love her’. It’s very distressing 😣

I have experienced something similar before. SO-OCD is very difficult, as with all OCD subtypes. I read somewhere that OCD attacks what matters to you. In the case of SO-OCD the OCD is attacking your identity. So the thoughts don’t mean you’re not straight, just that you value your identity.

I have been suffering from Harm OCD since a decade. I had this feeling like something was wrong with me and I started avoiding objects like pillows,knives etc. Last year when covid started it became worst since I was locked inside house and there were no meeting with friends , I used to hardly sleep then I came across ali videos in YouTube I started watching her videos also joined the chat group I tried to follow most of the things ali told me but somehow I felt I needed more guidance about ERP that’s when I joined text support with Michele. She gave me proper knowledge about OCD and how it works ,she was always available whenever I texted her or when I felt stuck.She motivated me when I had bad days. It’s been 3 months now and i have seen lot of improvement in me ,i sleep well and i feel much happier now and more focused now. I am thankful for that. I will recommend Michele to anyone that needs guidance for their OCD.
