I tried to hold a dying star,
sorry this isn’t in format, but i was wondering if you could point me in the right direction.
i’m questioning if i have ocd, but i can’t find any trustworthy resources, and i don’t want to harm anyone or contribute to self-diagnosis stereotypes in case i don’t have ocd
i can relate to a lot of the stuff in this and other blogs, but i don’t want it to end up that i was “faking it”
please don’t feel pressured to answer, have a nice day/night either way!
don’t worry about it! I’ve been thinking for a while about compiling a list of OCD resources, and this gives me an excuse. first up, I just want to say thank you for taking the time to do your research, and I really hope you’re able to find the resources and help that you need!
my view is that it’s important to look at a combination of offical resources and personal experiences when you’re first investigating a disorder. just looking at one or the other doesn’t really give a full image of what its like to be a person with OCD. so I hope all of this information is helpful!
where to start:
OCD UK
John Green talking about living with OCD (one is an article, and one is a video)
DSM criteria for OCD
ICD criteria for OCD
what it’s like to live with OCD
if you relate to the above:
talk to a mental health professional if possible
this is what treatment should look like
self care with OCD
if anyone has any other resources, please let me know! I’m going to link this at the top of my blog for future reference.
good luck, anon!
my ocd has absolutely gone off the deep end where now i am also obsessing about the ocd itself.. like if i am having rocd doubts, like do i really love my bf, am i too young for this, do i even want to be in a relationship? my ocd just snowballs wondering if these doubts are even ocd, or if they are real and i should listen to them. like maybe i really just don’t love him anymore and i’m just afraid to admit it to myself? i hate it i hate it so much i wish i could trust my own feelings .
my therapist tells me it doesn’t matter if the doubts are real, it doesn’t matter if i don’t actually love him. because i will never know the truth, i’ll never know for certain if we “should” be together. life just doesn’t have certain answers for these things and i need to accept that uncertainty. recovery is so painful
