Anyone with OCD here?
I have severe OCD. Spend my whole day doing compulsions, it forced me to drop out of school and prohibits me from leaving my house. My father hates me for having OCD and treats me like shit as a result. Feel like a prisoner in my own mind, want to kill myself 24/7.
Any other OCDfags out there?
Only when I'm on speed. Then I'll spend like 5 hours obsessively arranging stuff. It's crazy.

I used to be on meds at 18
It died down after 25
my compulsions will flare up under stress but I can manage them and calm down
I do notice I still do some rituals out of habit since the movements where programmed hard having them through childhood.
It gets better over time op
try st johns wort if you are not taken any-other meds

I neither like nor dislike it. It's just a sort of compulsion, but in a way I suppose it's calming. It's just that sometimes I'll finally get stuff exactly the way I want it, and then my jaw drops when I look at the clock and see how much time has passed doing the same mundane shit. I have mild obsessive tendencies on any given day, but stimulants just send it way over the top. I wonder if it affects everyone with OCD that way.

I will look into that, thanks. I hope you're right, I'm 25 now and I've had severe OCD since I was 10. I just hope it can get better.

you probably already noticed it flares up the more anxious you get and you get more tired and anxious preforming the rituals.
sometimes you will get a window of opportunity to think clearly and logic will start falling back into place
