Internally screaming rn because this week I’m bringing up my ocd with my doctor to see if there are any options for medication or therapy or something because Idk if I can do this on my own anymore
I’ve beaten ocd into the ground before so I know I’m capable of dealing with it but man I am so tired of living like this. One obsession goes away and a new one pops up in its place. Constantly. I know the solution is to completely stop doing compulsions but I still get the feeling that I’m constantly fighting against my own mind and It’s exhausting. I’m tired of it and I just want to LIVE without feeling like I have some sort of brain demon breathing down my neck all the time
Anyways wish me luck yall I’m trying to figure out how to word this to my doctor
it’s going to be so awkward but I have to do it … it’s scary though.. gonna try writing everything down and Maybe that’ll help? IdkFeb 17, 2025

Usually when I have an important talk to do I make a Notion document (or Google doc or whatever) and write down all my thoughts. A lot easier to form cohesive sentences then

I also have OCD, it seems to come back in new forms, I literately have gotten some ones where I would not stop past inuring myself and worse. Its really hard to deal with but I found talking about it, journling, drawing and doing mindful guided meditation videos can help. Each time I have to beat it a new way. I really have sympathy for you I hope you find a way to beat it

Good luck!! If you think it would help keep things cohesive, writing down some point on your phone or a notepad might help to keep things on track!

•Guys how do you explain things to a doctor without going on a tangent or sounding like you’re nuts
I’m thinking of writing this all in point form in a note or something alongside any questions I have ? Idk that’s the only thing I can think of
