Your OCD does NOT define you. It might feel real and etc, but it is NOT real and will never be. Remember that

Hey, I feel the same way. I can't look at anything the same anymore. And my OCD kills me, but it's not true. I recommend you to seek treatment immediately. I've seen you on here countless times, and I'm worried about that. Please get help, you need it in the long haul.

I’m so sorry idont241. Have you thought about teletherapy? If you have a laptop with a camera and wifi you can have therapy sessions in the comfort of your own home! I know therapy can get expensive, but there are facilities that do a sliding scale based on your income!

(corny statement alert) I’d like to think we’re all in this together, and it will help some of us to, at the very least, not feel like we are the only people on the planet that struggle with this invisible disorder!! I hope you’re travels are fun and even though the thoughts and feelings will come, try your hardest to use those times as practice in letting them be there. It’s like trying to hold a ball of burning coal. The coal is going to be hot (the thought will be scary) but all you have to do it put it down and let it roll away by itself (you don’t have to inspect it and pull it apart and look for where it came from- you’ll get burnt!) Good luck!!

Of course! We all have our really really low moments. (Me yesterday). But I’ve been practicing resistance as hard as I could and let me tell you- it works.

So i started to feel like a lesbian again and that i have to be one. I dont want to be one. I just dont. But being straight feel like a lie now. I question my whole life, my feelings and everything. The biggest indicator of this must be that i will be slowly 21 year old and ive never dated anyone and i dont really find anyone attractive and i dont even know if i truly was attracted to someone and im scared of relationships i might have trauma or have anxious avoidant attachment. Help me. I do feel lost. Really lost. I dont know who am I anymore. I feel like that i must have been gay my whole life now. I feel like an alien. I sometimes feel like 2 people are living inside of me.😞😞😞

I don’t know what to do anymore I made a friend recently in college and was texting her the other night and she mentioned she was doing her nails and I said nice and asked her if I could see. Because I was curious about what she did to them this time around and since then she has not responded to me I apologized to her saying I’m sorry if it bothered her but still nothing. Some of my friends just don’t answer me anymore I feel like I’m a burden of the ones who do still talk me I’m so done with it all. I’m tired of trying to find love as well I feel nothing to it anymore it’s only left me with disappointment and sadness I feel like I’m an unlovable husk of a person and that I would only ever be a bother I cannot fathom the idea of someone loving ME I just can’t I feel like it’s impossible I feel like everything about me bothers people to the point where I think is it even something I should try to achieve anymore. I should honestly block myself from trying to make new friends and relationships I’m so so tired of it. I feel unappreciated and annoyed that I am the one that has to try to keep up any sort of relationship because if I don’t reach out they never will reach out to me the reason I know this is because it’s been proven time after time since middle school that I am nothing to these people and I might as well no longer try. I don’t know what to do anymore I feel like I’m going to be all alone for the rest of my life I’m just so lonely now.

I’ve never had a serious boyfriend before, and I’ve never experienced loving someone so much I want them to be with me and be the “right person”. My entire life is surrounded by people who are in love and have those movie like relationships. My sibling, cousins and best friends. I’m absolutely done with the “right person this and right person that” talk because I don’t know if I will ever get my “right person”. At this point they are band aiding my issues with the bs of “you’ll find when you aren’t look” (fine I’ll just have walk around blind folded ig?) My ROCD is in weird ways. I don’t have a partner. My cycle goes like this, I have to look a certain way and act desirable so I can attract a boyfriend and heal all my trauma so I can be present and perfect! Then I realize none of that actually works and I spiral. Thinking I’m gonna be alone forever and no one will actually love me because there is something wrong with me. I was always the “chronically single” one in the friend group and they cannot comprehend me doing romantic things. I feel so lost, I don’t know how to calm myself down. I get triggered by couples and my family. Because they have something I don’t. I can’t explain how it even triggers me, I just feel this rage.
