Compulsions gone insane??

Postby RocketB00ST » Fri Apr 07, 2017 1:41 pm

For starters, I have been diagnosed with OCD and I have been living with it for three years :( but everyday is a struggle just trying to do anything small or carrying out a small task. It seems as though every second, a new, malicious, intrusive thought pops in my head and I instantly take charge of it. Either I hold air my stomach until the the thought goes away, or I do these weird, unnesscary facial expressions until the intensity of the thought subsides. These facial expressions could be distinguished by either doing a creepy face or I hold in a face I do for a certain amount of time. Furthermore, these facial expressions done to alleviate compulsions have caused visible winkles in my face and I'm only at a young age. I feel so embarrassed since everytime I do a real expression, wrinkles in my face appear, either on my forehead, or near my eye area. I get so sick of doing these types of compulsions because one can only wonder what five years of possibly doing this can lead to. I haven't found the name for the onset of these compulsions and I'm feeling extremely helpless. I actually have tried to make improvements in my life for these intrusive thoughts to go away, only to a few days of free space in my mind before it slowly invades with a greater force than ever it seems. I still don't get why this happens. Maybe a placebo effect of some sort? I don't know :( I just want to have a reasoning as to why I do this. I know it's my OCD but I think of myself as a freak whenever I do the compulsions. I feel like I'm in a very deep hole at the moment and I just want to see a little light at least. Thank you :)
