DP, I don't know anyone on this forum who is qualified to really comment on OCD - except you of course. I'd recommend you just continue whatever medications and therapies your doctor has recommended. And if you don't have a doctor, get one.
I don't have the problem you have because I really don't care what others think about me. I am secure in myself and know there will always be those who disagree with me because of good reasons and bad. Some might even want to hurt me. I listen/read others posts and take the parts I like and discard the parts I don't. Remember the advice of Groucho Marx that goes something like: 'I'm too good to join any club who'd want me as a member.' In other words this is just the internet. It's like going into a bar and talking with all the patrons. Don't take anything you hear too seriously - both criticism of you and praise. All this is just for fun. ...Bill! --- In [email protected], "D P" <wookielifeday@...> wrote: > > Part of my problem is my OCD, which races to thoughts that if this person > disagrees with me, they must hate me, and if they hate me, they will find out > who I am in real life and find some way to hurt me. > > Is there any way to work on this? > > --- In [email protected], "ED" <seacrofter001@> wrote: > > > > > > > > Hi DP, > > > > What you oberve in yourself is quite normal and natural in all humans to > > a greater or lesser extent, and is due to one's sense of self, which has > > it's own fall-out, and which fallout can be perceived as good, bad, both > > good and bad, neither good nor bad, or all of the above, or none of the > > above. > > > > --ED. > > > > > > > > --- In [email protected], "D P" <wookielifeday@> wrote: > > > > > I haven't been on here for a long time, and I apologize. > > > > I have written about this before, but I still struggle with it.
