Oh I'm so sorry!! I didn't mean it in a mean way, I have it too and I meant response with humour, I genuinely didn't mean that to hurt you I can't apologise enough
Nah youβre good lol I figured it was in good fun. Just thought Iβd expand on my meaning. Like the old joke βI donβt suffer from insanity, I rather enjoy itβ
The entire thing stupid. Too much or none of any one factor is destructive, but just enough is always better. You shouldn't be trying to get rid of any, that's just desensitizing yourself.
The "doubting disease" is just a nickname, and it really is a misnomer. That name fits the pop culture depiction of OCD sufferers constantly stuck wondering if they left the stove on or if the last person to touch the door knob had turbo cancer. OCD really ought to be called "the reassurance" disease.
In therapy you don't talk about doubt so much doubt or faith as you do reassurance. In my case, seeking refuge in the reassurance of faith was the problem. Pray that things will be alright, I feel relief for a few seconds. But if one prayer is good, two's better. And why not a third? I don't want to be responsible for someone getting hurt because I don't pray hard enough, do I?. This sort of maximalism seems ridiculous to most religious people who don't have OCD, but there is also a dark side of religion that blames the victim for their lack of faith. I had to accept the terror of not knowing before I could get better. And that meant withholding prayer, or whatever the compulsion of the moment was. By the time I got better, I realized religion had never brought me comfort, but everyone around me expected it to and expected me to go along with it for their own comfort. I realized that these people cared more about saving my soul than they did about saving me. At some point I had to tell myself "it's better to burn in hell than to live in constant fear of it". That is what began my deconstruction.
Lastly, I didn't escape OCD entirely, I escaped my religiosity obsessions. I will always have a brain prone to anxiety, and if I don't exercise doubt conscientiously, I could relapse or fall in to a new OCD theme.
No. You do not get to tell me how to deal with my disorder. I've lived with these symptoms since I was four. This has affected my entire life and learning to accept doubt liberated me.
Every time I turned to religion, or any other magical thinking to help me, it only ever made things worse. "Pray about it," people would say, but I'm already praying non-stop to make sure bad things don't happen to the people I love. I realized that religious people who give advice about mental illness care more about saving the soul than saving the person. You crave certainty, and that craving is poison to me.
I recognize the irony but reading this made me want to say "preach." Doubt has been a lifesaver against all the crazy baseless bullshit people around me try to push. It's a virtue, faith is not.
I know OCD's nickname is "the doubting disease" but it really ought to be "the reassurance disease". I said I had religiosity OCD. Faith is as much seeking reassurance to me as checking to make sure the stove is off for the hundredth time. Leaning deeper into faith prevented me from gaining the insight I needed to get better. Some people with OCD can live with religion. I can't, and I am tired of religious people acting like faith is some sort of panacea for mental illness. I've seen Christians evangelize in online support groups, and when we ask them to leave, they push back with "what's the harm?", "I'm just sharing the truth!", "Jesus heals", and my personal favorite "But hell is really real! You don't want to burn, do you?". I am living proof that faith can do harm, and sometimes, if you really care about someone, you have to put faith aside and let them get their head clear. Some people come back with stronger faith, while others, like me, realize faith never brought me any peace of mind. But accepting that I don't know, that I don't have an ultimate answer, was therapeutic for me. In other words, I live with the doubt.
So, maybe, just maybe, there is a horizon to your worldview which you can't see beyond, and your gospel isn't good news for everyone.
If one can mutually beat the other, then nothing is stopping the bad from beating good anytime after the good beats the bad, or even guaranteeing that the good stands a chance in the first place.
So what youβre saying is, life is a perpetual cycle of feeling empowered and having that feeling crushed into abject misery because it gets killed by exactly what Iβm trying to defeat. Very inspiring.
I fucking hate this new trend of random deep '100% real' book quotes. I have seen several accounts on IG that post this stuff, and it all looks the same. Seems to be quite popular. Nothing like getting AI-generated life advice.
Now can someone please give me some extra peace with my coffee this morning, like just a Quadruple shot of peace right up in there because I have a lot of worries I need to kill today and the peace I have been getting up til now hadn't touched 'em. /s

Really weird verbiage for something that seems like itβs supposed to chillax you
My main takeaway from this is everything kills. So you better be prepared and lie in ambush.
A fellow BPD enjoyer I take it?
Enjoyer huh
I canβt change the fact that I have a personality disorder, but that doesnβt have to stop me from making it everyone elseβs problem.

Doubt is what helped me escape religiosity OCD. So fuck this glad handing bullshit.
Yes. Also, there cannot be anh kind of real faith without doubt.
The entire thing stupid. Too much or none of any one factor is destructive, but just enough is always better. You shouldn't be trying to get rid of any, that's just desensitizing yourself.
yeah!
How did you use doubt to escape the doubting disease? Not even getting into the religious aspect here, every OCD topic is awful.

Doubt is a symptom of OCD, not the solution. You've been misled by atheistic propaganda
No. You do not get to tell me how to deal with my disorder. I've lived with these symptoms since I was four. This has affected my entire life and learning to accept doubt liberated me.

Faith is an opposite of craving certainty
I know OCD's nickname is "the doubting disease" but it really ought to be "the reassurance disease". I said I had religiosity OCD. Faith is as much seeking reassurance to me as checking to make sure the stove is off for the hundredth time. Leaning deeper into faith prevented me from gaining the insight I needed to get better.

atheistic propaganda lmao
Otherwise known as βfactsβ.
"atheistic propaganda" lmfao
If one can mutually beat the other, then nothing is stopping the bad from beating good anytime after the good beats the bad, or even guaranteeing that the good stands a chance in the first place.

Damn, love is toxic as hell.

There's a lotta murdering going on over there
My immediate thought was, "so, they kill each other?"
My second thought was "Late one morning, about midnight...." π
If enough people are confused I'll type the full rhyme. Such a silly bundle of contradictions
Presence kills hurryβ¦ I am present every day at work, but that doesnβt make the first graders slow down, or the IEP deadlines go away, lol.
Why don't we stop taking these AI bullshit graphics seriously though
This isnt even saying anything "faith kills doubt" no shit and fire burns.
Iβll be right back, gonna go to The Peace Store and get a couple of pounds of peace. To help my worry.
My mom sent this to me last week lololol
I doubt therefore I think. I think therefore I am.
Me: "tahT?"
I don't think
"Ecenesrp sllik yrruh Ecaep sllik yrrow Htiaf sllik tbuod Evol sllik oge"
Is as relatable but who am I to judge?
So what youβre saying is, life is a perpetual cycle of feeling empowered and having that feeling crushed into abject misery because it gets killed by exactly what Iβm trying to defeat. Very inspiring.
Choosing faith over doubt is toxic and is bound to lead you to wrong things.
Having doubts is healthy and it helps us make sure we're not going about things in the wrong way.
I fucking hate this new trend of random deep '100% real' book quotes. I have seen several accounts on IG that post this stuff, and it all looks the same. Seems to be quite popular. Nothing like getting AI-generated life advice.
That's not how rock paper scissors works
Isn't it true though?
I'm trying to exercise presence over hurry and thus far it makes me feel quite relaxed.
That's why I'm late for everything. I'm too peaceful and present.
Clearly someoneβs never read the art of war. Otherwise theyβd rethink the second line. The rest is just bs.
None of those things do any of those other things forwards or backwards
Why did presence kill Murry? I was fond of the guy, and he owed me five bucks.
taht?
what a strange and unusual messageβ¦
Left to right, that, read now
If ego kills love and love kills ego they kill each other any now we donβt have love or ego and I donβt know what the fuck that means.
It has never worked out for me backwards. π©π€¦ββοΈ
this is the most millennial someone ever millennialed
Now replace the subjects with the objects in the sentences
Did you read them backwards? I think its important
Wow now my debt magically disappeared. Thanks! Iβm cured
Thanks! I didnβt realize that reading things backwards was the key to curing all of my mental issues!
I like "peace kills worry," excellent.
Now can someone please give me some extra peace with my coffee this morning, like just a Quadruple shot of peace right up in there because I have a lot of worries I need to kill today and the peace I have been getting up til now hadn't touched 'em. /s
It's not doubt that kills faith, but irony.
