Guess what!? You must be doing something right! Look at all that scrambling ocd is doing. Yes, you will have ocd for the rest of your life... BUT it will NOT always be at the forefront of your life. Keep doing ERP especially when ocd says you're not doing it right.. heck even do erp with that... maybe I am doing erp right and maybe I'm not but I choose to do it anyway! Have your moment but then pick yourself up and put ocd in the back seat like the tired crying child that it is!

Hello! I know how it feels, but after every hard day next one was way better in my case at least for the most part. I struggle myself today. If you need somebody to talk to I'm open for it. Wish you the best. Remember, you're not alone in it.

Hi there, hopefulsunny! Thank you so much for reaching out on here. I totally understand where you’re coming from. My OCD tends to make me feel very teary. Your OCD is recognizing the progress that you’re making and it’s going into overdrive! I definitely recommend opening up to your therapist about this! Have you thought about joining a support group? My support group makes me feel so…well…supported! I don’t feel alone anymore. It’s not fair that we have OCD. However, these are the brains that we are stuck with. I try to reframe my thinking by “using my powers for good.” If I can help just ONE person with OCD, then my journey is worth it. You’re stronger than you know.

Hi, thanks for replying! I’ve definitely been working on changing my perspective about OCD. I think it will be really helpful for my recovery journey to have a different outlook. I’m glad you have access to a really great support group! I have gone to a few of the NOCD support groups but haven’t really been consistent about it. I probably should as I found it did make a difference to be able to see others face to face even if it was over zoom! OCD can get very lonely sometimes so I really appreciate you taking the time to reply to me! It means a lot.

I am hurting so much right now. I feel sad and disgusted with myself that I would even worry about these things (pocd). What kind of a human even thinks that and has doubts about that?? Definitely not one that’s rational or mentally sane. That kind of stuff should be a no brainer so why do I worry about it so much and what does it say about me? I feel sick and disgusted and can’t stop crying over it. I just feel so defeated like I want to disappear. I started ERP and every time I resist reassuring myself it comes back at me from every angle. I hate this so much.

My OCD has become so bad and I feel so alone. I have religious OCD (Christianity) and I’ve been doing okay with letting the blasphemous thoughts go in the moment, but I’m so overcome with guilt and shame I can barely function. I can feel okay and hopeful for a few minutes and then I’m reminded of the horrible thoughts and how nothing can take them back and I can’t handle the guilt. I’m becoming a burden to my family and feel so alone. I do not know what to do. Please help.

I’m struggling so much, I don’t know what’s changed. I was doing so well for a solid two months and now it’s been over a month of just my lowest point. My bf has gotten upset at how much I do compulsions and it’s taxing him too. I can’t imagine how hard it is to be my partner right now. I feel exhausted I’m tired of my OCD finding new things to obsess or worry over. I’m so TIRED of getting stuck on technicalities. I’m so exhausted with the constant intrusive thoughts and intrusive thinking. I’m so sick of how compulsive I get when I’m so riddled with anxiety. I don’t want to keep pushing. It feels pointless if my life is going to be a constant loop of ups and extreme lows. I feel like such a disgusting, embarrassing person. I don’t want love because I don’t feel like I deserve it. I don’t want patience or understanding because it makes me feel so guilty. Like no one is understanding how bad of person I could truly be. I’m so lost and tired of this
