Ending week 7 going on week 8, just need some encouragement.

I, 21 f, am going on my 8th week of Zoloft 25mg for OCD. I started feeling better for 3 days, still having intrusive thoughts but being able to not listen to them. but today its been bad. I feel like im back to square one. I know i need a higher dose but… idk…

Found a way to deal with intrusive thoughts because of how someone explained it.

The way the woman describes it was as this:

Pretend you’re driving. You come across a billboard that has something weird or uncomfortable or alarming on it right?

You don’t stop to call the number and rationalise with the person who made the billboard, nor do you go up and inspect the billboard for clues or answers. Right? You shrug it off as odd and continue driving. You have places to be.

Intrusive feelings suck

Been dealing with them recently, and they suck ass. Like disgust and hatred for something i genuinely love, or anger for no reason at all. It makes me scared and feel defeated. Anyone else relate?

My go to tv show during an ocd spike is any cooking or baking show. I think its because there’s so much to focus on!

Idk why, but its my go to when it comes to really bad ocd spikes. Im currently in a spike. Weirdly enough, what calms me down is cooking shows! Im thinking its because theres so much going on in the show that it distracts me. Anyone else relate?

Really liked this shot of a tree looking up. I did NOT take this image, it was taken by Konradlew. Its titled “Shallow Dof.” :)

Honestly the OCD makes me feel like im possessed sometimes. Like, having these thoughts and urges, and then i can feel glimmers of myself peeking through, and then im dragged back down.

Like its so fucking frustrating. These thoughts ago against me and then i feel myself have glimmers of myself peeking through like, hey! This is intrusive! You’re still you! You’re not this! And then im just dragged back down or im fully convinced its not OCD which makes it harder and worse to deal with.

Week 7 on 25 mg and things are still not looking good.

I know i need a med increase, but things have been really rough lately. Mom broke her arm and had a seizure(Non epileptic.) all in one day a few weeks ago and so things have been tough and because of that ive had minimal transportation to my doctors office. Today is the start of week 7 for me and things have been really bad. I have OCD, and so i know i need a higher dose. But i feel like this med isn’t for me as its only made me worse. 😭 Can anyone give me some hope? Im running out of it.

How was your life before ocd? Do you remember it? Or did OCD taint your memory?

Ive heard mixed things about it, but i wanna know what you guys say because im curious. Personally i do but i also don’t. OCD tries to taint my memories of life before so its hard to discern the past and how life was.

I just finished Young Sheldon and im almost done Blackish. I wanna watch a sitcom that doesn’t have a laugh track. I find those annoying. Any recommendations?

Ive been on 25mg for ocd for 6 weeks now and both week 5 and 6 have been miserable hell for me. My ocd has gotten alot worse and all i can do is curl up in bed and relax and sleep. Or scroll on forums and read up about cats because i love cats.

It just has gotten to a point where my ocd doesn’t feel like ocd and it feels like its real and i just feel horrible. It wasn’t like this before my medication. I see a doctor tomorrow and i’m gonna talk to her about this stuff. I know 25mg is a low dose but i feel like i can’t be on this shit anymore.

Ive had him literally since he came out of his mom’s womb (I watched his birth, his mom was also my cat and she had gotten pregnant.) And he’s the light of my life. I care for him alot. 💜 Funfact, he loves watching Breaking Bad with me and loves sleeping against me if im laying on my side.
