Castiel233 Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 I suffer from ocd, some days are worse than others. I just wanted to say a simple thank you to those kind souls who have sometimes sent me a supportive private message on here. Small acts of kindness do make a difference, even online. I salute your humanity and decency 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjn Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 As a fellow OCD:er, I've found that avoiding high levels of stress is extremely important. OCD and panic attacks are caused by fuck ups in the system regulating stress and fear, and people with OCD usually have higher levels of adrenaline and cortisol by default. At times my mind/body is so sensitive a cup of coffee is enough to get my anxiety to go through the roof, so I've chosen to cut down on coffee as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedStar Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Hope you're doing better now, I have OCD too and I know how it can be. The violent intrusive thoughts get at me a lot, as does constant ideas about arguing with people. Sometimes you can feel like a prisoner in your own mind.

hockeyfan70 Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 I'm glad this place has helped you in your hard times. It has for me too. My problem is my brain never shuts off now. So I'm constantly thinking about things, especially where my de-conversion is going. It's nice to be able to read where other people are at and how they've gone through the struggle. It's nice to let myself just read other stories so that my brain can rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
