Do you have a hard time making decisions?

[GregTheCamper]

It's crazy how fast it creeps up on you. I used to find myself googling for respite, looking for an answer from anyone that eased my OCD. Read all sorts of books, finally realised the content of the thought doesn't matter. It's your reaction and relationship to the thought.

Hardest thing is keeping up the practice. 4 things, mindfulness, box breathing. Helps to catch it early on. Got a diary where I write down tallies of the thought. Realised that it's what I care about most that it hangs on. What if I don't love my wife? What if I go crazy? What if I'm in the matrix? What if I wake up and forgot what I did? What if I freak out in public and get restrained? Etc etc. It hangs on what you can't 100% guarantee. It's just thoughts. The fact that you react with such horror and fear shows that you don't really feel this way. Just accept the thought, and carry on. Don't Google, don't debate, just float and feel baybay!!

Good luck all x

Debilitating problem of mine. The amount of time I spend in a store. How I've been obsessing about the color wall paint I'm going to choose. Don't even talk to me about decisions that actually matter.

"Start problem solving when there's a problem." I needed that.

i just got diagnosed a few days ago. Its been really hard to digest but your channel helps❤

[julietteferrars]

I've never been able to figure out what this was. Of course it's evil OCD rearing its head again! Thank you for everything you do to help us. ❤

For me it has a lot to do with wanting to do something but then thinking "What if doing this doesn't make me feel happy, so it means I can't be happy ever again, and I get depressed?" (my main theme is Suicidal OCD)

So I end up just spending the entire day in front of the computer, not doing anything and then getting anxious about not having done anything. I've been trying to make more active decisions but it's so hard, since I always get this feeling that if I make a decision that doesn't bring me (immediate) happiness, I'll end up in a horrible place

Trying to make aa decision which is painful at the same time, like leaving a partner or rehoming a loved pet due to change of circumstances adds even more issues.

[ultimatefrog]

my boyfriend and i both have ocd and anxiety and are just in general indecisive people. you can imagine how that is haha.

[emberkittyT]

God this is such a relief to learn about!! I didn’t know others go through this too, and I feel so much less alone. Thank you for making these videos, you are saving lives.

I have an OCD of checking things for a definite number. Earlier the number was 4×4 and now it is 6×6=36 times in total. And if I get confused or disturbed during this then I restart again with number 1. It's really frustrating for me . I check each and everything before going to work and after coming back home from work. Literally each and everything, I count them for 36 times in total before going to work and after coming back from work. And even at my work I'm afraid for everything I write and do and recheck them also again and again. And because of this I'm unable to do work at time and take so much extra time to do little work.


My checking OCD started when I once left my home door open and came back after 2 days and got to know about it. Then I checked my each and every belonging, especially my important things. That whole night I kept checking things for a million times. That night was really horrible for me, I was reassuring myself again and again that I have everything and nothing is stolen or missing.
And since that day I have started checking my lock and other important things again and again before leaving for work. And only go out for work nothing else. Because it haunts me to check everything before going and after coming.

Even going to work is becoming hard task for me, it takes so much of my energy Literally about half an hour daily and sometimes more than that before leaving home. And after coming Back also the same.



I want to go out Normally and live a normal life but I am unable to convince my brain for that.


I am tired of this OCD in my life. I want a solution for it and cannot deal with it anymore . I want to live normal like I used to.



PLEASE HELP

This is the video I needed to see today! I’ve been struggling even more than usual with this for over the last year.

[TDdelta]

I feel like I started avoiding doing things that are not obligatory because when I start something I obsess over absolutely every minor aspect of it. For example I love painting yet now I can’t because I may spend a day deciding what to paint, if use aquarelles or pencils, the colors etc. then I leave it because I get to anxious. My room is a mess because when I start organizing things I can spend hours in one corner cleaning and organizing and reorganizing because it must be perfect, so I just avoid it. Everything I wear must match and be perfect I wake up 3 hours earlier to get ready because everything takes too much time. My college assignments take an eternity ro complete because suddenly out of nowhere I see something and start obsessing over it, it may be a small concept but once I’m fixated I may write 10 pages about it whey I know it’s not even important for the exam. I can’t stop myself even knowing that my behavior is abnormal. If suddenly my parents tell me that I must do something that involves decision making I have a panic attack by now they know to tell me to take my medication before saying informing me about anything.
I think I don’t live anymore I just exist, the idea that it will be always like this is dreadful.

OCD has vanished most of my creativity. I have been fighting against it for 4 years now. I sometimes try to fight back but fail due to my lack of confidence. I understand my OCS but it is soooo hard to manage.

[Anna-ovwc]

[craven]

[homosapiensgraecus]

I can't decide if I have a hard time making decisions 😅

[heidighomi]

If I make the wrong decision something bad will happen?

Guys the best way to heal with OCD,
Many people think it's a fight against OCD, but
What if there was no enemy to fight ? Stop fighting it, don't give it value
