Venting How to cope with OCD?

[GobidMujahid]

OCD is ruining my life.

I spent the past hour and a half arguing with my thoughts.

I want to ignore it, but the urge is too strong.

The worst is when I am in the middle of doing something and I have to pause for a while to think.

People look at me weird.

What should I do?

I don't know what "normal" is, but I'm always daydreaming and talking to myself in my head. Constant thoughts, it's like a storm. Occasionally, I come up with good ideas, but it's rare.

Same, sometimes I catch myself daydreaming and wasting time when I am supposed to be working.

I think I have what they call "maladaptive daydreaming." I like it, it keeps me entertained and enjoying life. Without it there would be no silver lining to any of this

You don't. Its stuck with you for the rest of your life unless you seek help. It sucks...

unless you seek help.

I don't have money or time for therapy.

And like many users here, I doubt therapists actually help.

And like many users here, I doubt therapists actually help. Perhaps they would create more problems instead.

Good luck battling yourself for the rest of eternity. Or find some resources to atleast temporarily fix it.
