Your OCD does NOT define you. It might feel real and etc, but it is NOT real and will never be. Remember that
I know it’s not. But I can’t look at any couple without thinking I am never going to love anyone. I feel loveless. It’s so bad I am crying right now.
The closest thing I can do right now is taking that course. Everyone says it has helped them so I am just going to take it one step at a time and do that first. Thanks for the concern :)
That's the best thing for you, I'm glad your taking steps =)
Thank you so much, both of you. It helps a lot
You are being so helpful right now, really. Thank you so much
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 can’t get treatment. There is no treatment where I live. There are no ocd specialists and that kills me! I think I am going to sign up for the mood Smith course but most likely but I can’t this month. I am on summer vacation and it’s been the worst. I am traveling next week so I feel like if I sign up today it’ll be a waste of 27 dollars. I am trying to hang in there until I can get some help next month
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!
Okay, that’s great! Hoping for easier days for you. Let me know how the course goes for you!!
(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.
Deadass feel like i wont be able to fall in love again ever. Like i dont know what it is and as long as these thoughts stay with me i will be forever alone. The fact that that just depressing as hell and that i know what i will be missing makes me so done with life.
Do you guys ever feel like you'll never be able to find love because of all the obsessions and intrusive thoughts you have? Especially if you have have real events it's based on? It's definitely something that comes up for me frequently. I feel undeserving of love and that no one would understand me.
Does anyone else with ocd feel like they’re gonna be alone forever? I’m 21 and have never had a girlfriend or even kissed anyone and it makes me feel like a loser. Every time I try to get close to a woman I’m interested in I always get friend zoned. I feel like I’m never going to find anyone and it sucks seeing all of my fiends in relationships and getting married, having kids and being happy. I feel like I’m gonna be the one that’s always left out.
