So you may know I have recently been diagnosed with OCD
I have also been told I have Metaphysical Anxiety, which I initially thought means that I'm some sort of nervous superhero. But no.
Anyone else fucked up in the brain box? |
Metaphysical anxiety? Sounds like something Deepak Chopra will diagnose someone with. A problem with modern psychology, in my opinion, is that it compartmentalizes everyone in this box of sorts, where everyone according to them has something. The human conundrum implies a form of suffering embedded in it, but psychologists try to neurotically exploit everyone through their narrow diagnostic parameters that shallowly interpret the human condition. Now, there are good psychologists out there, but psychology is very different than all the other sciences, it is not as scientifically rigorous simply because there is still little we know of the mind and brain chemistry, even though there are breakthroughs every day. Yet, even then this does not imply that this newfound knowledge is being utilized in the field. All that said I think psychologists do some good work, to some extent, but do project their insecurities as a field into their patients by coming up with absurd diagnoses for patients, ensuring everyone that comes to their office is afflicted with something. Point is, a second opinion is a good consideration.

i have neither of the things you're talking about probably because i wouldn't allow myself to be 'diagnosed' but flirt with existential angst now and then.
|
I didn't know metaphysical anxiety existed a few minutes ago but it sounds like the most witty state of mind
We'll always support the Fox here tho |
nah, I may have IBS though
|
I get what you guys are saying, I def have OCD tho, otherwise I wouldn't feel like I had to kill myself if I didn't count syllables from random sentences I heard, beginning on the little finger and not stopping until the string of syllables ends on the thumb. Or if I don't drink exactly half a cup of coffee in the morning, have a smoke, drink the rest, and repeat this until I feel ok. Among other things.
I also wouldn't drive myself crazy obsessing on my behaviour and picking apart every moment of my life which may mean I am going to be a bad person in the future, and finding something completely insignificant and convincing myself it means I am evil. |
I used to do the syllable count thing but instead of my fingers I used parts of heads like the ears, then the eyes, each nostril and then the mouth, ending on the mouth
I may have a minor case of this |
If you didn't do it, did you feel like life was no longer worth living, or that you will probably get cancer, or any other type of serious illness?
|
no, I just did it for no real reason while realizing it was strange to do
when I was a kid I would hear "whisper screams?" (best way I can describe it) in my head I figured it was just weird shit my mind did |
I am by no means qualified to make any sort of diagnosis, but I have learned that many people have OCD in some form, but it doesn't take over their life or their mind...it's only when this happens that it is something that needs to be treated. In it's mild form, apparently, it historically was one of the things essential to human survival, the need to obsessively think things through, so it isn't necessarily a bad thing, only when it starts to control you.

What is the obsession that the compulsions ease?

This girl I worked w was OCD
Doesn't seem like she was as severe as ur describing....she said she had actually gotten alot better since wen she was younger tho. She said too about like if she didn't satiate her obsession then that feeling of "something bad" was gonna happen would overcome her. She would never go into detail as to wat the bad somethings were tho.........I'm assuming prolly similar to wat ur saying an she just didn't wanna freak me out lol. She just would like organize her desk a certain way tho an flick light switches an tap her nose an weird number sequential things.....nothing g like being obsessed with her potential success or failures.....that seems fucking crippling. Fuck. |
I eat exactly one small bag of chilli cheese fritos on my lunch breaks with whatever else im eating. Although sometimes i dont eat fritos and get doritos, cheetos or even pickle chips. What im saying is i cant relate.
I was diagnosed with depression and social anxiety before tho. They put me on meds that literally did nothing even after they upped them twice, so i stopped taking them cold turkey and nothing happened and my state of mind is exactly the same as its always been. I think its all make believe horse shit to make you feel better because life is shit. I dont know about ocd tho. You should try maybe not doing that. This ends this installment of no help uhoh.may the fox be with you |
chronic masturbation isn't OCD @Witty
kidding....I have dabbled with the thought that I have OCD due to my need to clean after watching a movie most recently involving a psychopathic dentist who said cleaning calms him I have arrived to the conclusion I may be psychotic... |
Ocd ADHD manic depression and a few other things I cant remember
|
I was also recently diagnosed with OCD <3
As was touched on previously itt, I think we all have 'peculiar' personality traits that everyone, not just psychologists, like to stick a label on. Humans like to categorize. It's a mistake, because it perpetuates states of being that would otherwise not become an issue. I struggle with the idea of sending my son to talk to someone, because part of me worries it will only solidify the idea of him having an issue in his own head... Many (not all) psychological issues seem to be heavily influenced by the person's paranoia of an issue. It's a loop. Like a mental habit. I've been told I have PTSD and I also suffer from depersonalization, which is an extreme form of emotional detachment, not only from people, but from your own sense of personal reality. Basically, nothing feels real. It's born out of being overly occupied with your own thoughts, and the why of your own thoughts. Sometimes people will be talking to me and I feel as though I'm watching a movie. I sometimes have anxiety attacks because I'm afraid that I'm losing my sanity. There are good days and bad days. A lot of it seems to depend on my mood, and whether or not I'm feeling good about my life. My self analyzing will have me pondering whether my personality, or the personality of others is nothing more than an advanced coping mechanism. I've broken my emotional existence down to a primal level that sometimes feels robotic, but ultimately is just hyper aware. I feel sick that I can't just watch baseball and enjoy things like most other people. |
a majority of that sounds like me as well...perhaps...anxiety is a bitch as well
|
lmao wow its some real faggots weirdos and lames on this website, just as suspected
shouts to my wiggas who still normal as fuck and don't need an acronym of capitalised letters to define their pathetic existence |
