Youse all say yea my OCD is trying to f*** with me or test me. i know exactly what you mean. but you say it as if is the organism in your brain trying to get us or sumthing. is it really not just the bit of the brain that rationalises things is broke? im so confused why it just doesnt mend itself. your after having every single obsessing your brain relises that its total bullshit and should start working but it doesnt it finds something else or comes in different form. totally dont get it

Hi Aron, I hear you and I relate. I have had OCD as far back as I can remember. My obsession and compulsions are like a revolving door. some of the rituals stick around caught in the door , some escaoe and others go round n round. sometimes with the most sever O/C right when i think i cant persevere any more , they one day go into remission but only to return again when my stress levels get high and my fears are provoking the ocd. I have been everything from a washer, counter ,repeater when im talking, a checker, I obssess on evenness, ive had dermotillomania, Ive feared having aid s for no reason, My worries would take up the whole dictionary. where is all this going? idk i got carried away, im also bipolar and tend to talk alot but my brain always find something new out of the blue to give me hell. hopefully one day there will be a cure. thanks for letting me get off track but i do hear and agree with you. If you ever want to chat just send a friend request if i can help anyone in anyway i would be glad to good luck and God bless L>

It's like the two parts of our brain, the one that thinks rationally and the one that takes everything seriously cant talk to each other. It's like whatever connects them isnt connected. That's what it feels like to me. It also does feel like some THING in my brain that can just be surgically removed, wouldnt that be nice!!!

Thanks for posting this. I agree that OCD is almost like something that is playing a game against my contentment every day. I hate it, and I want it to step outside and fight so I can kick its ass.

Sometimes it seems like noone understands. You guys are great, and I wish you all the best:)

i you 2 m8. c when you ocd tricks you in2 thinking you dont have it so when you think all these nasty thing it makes you feel guilty for something that its done. ive honestly had it up 2 here with this ilness. and no1 actualli understands part from you guys. wonder if the physcologiest even really understands. do you think theres any point i9n fighting it. i get like these fights with people like a slagging match that have never happened before n it constantly goes round n round in my head then makes me feel guiltly that i let it go on for so long and that im not doing anything to stop it. n when i do give it attention it comes up with all thes different scenarios. its so confusing n difficult to live with
