If I’m up for 12 hours a day.... I’d say at least, around 9 of those hours are involving something with OCD.... my mind is exhausted....

I can relate to this so much. During the time my OCD was so severe, I remember my psychologist asking me when the last day was that I didn’t worry about anything and I couldn’t even recall one. OCD would take up all of my day and time. the compulsions, that awful monster enslaved me. you can get through this though and I know your mind is so exhausted and there are times you just can’t keep going but I promise you there is a bright light at the other end. you just gotta keep fighting and we’re supporting you every minute of every day. don’t give your life up to this monster. you deserve the best life possible filled with endless love and happiness. you’re so strong, proud of you ?

It has made me feel like I have done irreversible changes to myself or that Ill never be normal again. Hang in there, it can improve for sure

Keep strong ?

I’m on the same boat. I don’t know if that helps, but you’re not alone ? my ocd has always been severe for the most part. I’ve never really done the right things to treat it, up until now. It requires a lot of effort but I hope I can see results in the near future. You have to be honest with yourself and think about what unhealthy habits, physical or mental, are fueling your anxieties and obsessions. ?

Thank you guys! Means so much to me!!
