Your State should have some resources for you being that you don’t have an income - like State insurance or some way maybe a hospital or dr can help you get on the right meds. Medication has helped me so much too.

I used to feel this way too but I have gotten better so it’s possible. Have you done any of the NOCD group sessions? I’m pretty sure they’re free. They have helped me so much

I have struggled a lot with harm ocd, being scared of myself, and thinking that I’d need to hurt myself so that I don’t hurt others. It’s honestly the most terrifying thing I have been through. I’m glad to know that someone else is also struggling with something very similar to me. I just don’t want you to give up. I also liked the free group sessions and I can leave a link here for that!

@anonymous4444 Exactly! :/ I feel that way myself. I get so scared that I’m a monster and that I could possibly be “evil,” paychotic, sociopathic, crazy, etc. I’m glad you and me are in this together <33

@AFlowerForYou exactly and the scary part is is that i FEEL like i’m evil and i feel like i like it and that makes me so scared and anxious i hate myself so much it’s almost unbearable. i’m glad i have someone to relate too though <3

@anonymous4444 I feel comforted that you can relate to me so much even though it’s over something that feels so horrible. It is so hard not to be scared and anxious about it!!

@AFlowerForYou i know!! even when you feel fine and your in a good mood do you almost get an urge to think abt the thoughts almost like it’s a habit? i do that and i’m worried that bc i like thinking abt it or it just happens so often that that’s just my thinking pattern now, like i always have to have those thoughts 😭

@anonymous4444 Pretty much!!! I was having a really good day today and then this one thought started bothering me and I was like why can’t you just leave me alone?

@anonymous4444 I think a lot of that has to do with checking to see what your reaction will be to them.

Please don’t give up, I was in your exact same position and some days I still am. However with the right medication, and support groups it’s changed my life. I thought my life was over before. Now I’m really finding out who I am thru my values. I take support groups like every other day otherwise I start to slide. You can do this, I believe in you guys!

I can't stop thinking about ending my life. I feel like I'm not even living, I'm just surviving. Everyone is capable of being a person and functioning and I'm just stuck here avoiding everything. My psychiatrist said my ocd is severe and it will all take time and I'll start erp and I'm already on medication but I just feel so depressed and like I won't be able to handle erp and it's already too late for me. I feel inhuman, it's debilitating. My major theme is just fear or contamination, I can't even make myself a meal I can't touch anything in the kitchen. I get stuck in the shower for 2 hours and when I don't shower because I'm depressed I feel like a walking germ. My hands are a mess, my school work is shit, I avoid and avoid and I'm just so tired of "living" like this. My psychiatrist said they don't have any therapists available right now like.... excuse me? What do you mean u don't have any 😭 I honestly don't even know why I'm typing this becuase nothing helps, nothing ever will. I'm so deep into this I can't get out, my room looks like shit, I can't live in this body anymore, I really can't. I let everyone down, I am and will be such a dissapointment. I don't have any dreams or goals or passions I just wasn't made to be here. I don't know how or who to ask for help like there's nothing anyone can do, I'm already on meds. I can't keep being like this, seeing everyone judge me for acting insane.

I’ve been going through this rough patch for the last four months, and I can already feel an even worse one coming. I just feel scared. And on top of that, I’m going to stop therapy. After everything with my current therapist, I just don’t have the strength to keep trying anymore. I feel hopeless. My head hurts so much, and it’s hard to keep going when everything feels this bad. I just want to cry, hope this feeling passes, and maybe try again if it ever lets up. But right now, it feels like nothing will ever get better. I don’t feel like I can ask for help. I hate that it took me so long to realize this wasn’t the therapist for me. I was too scared of being dramatic, so I let it go on for far too long, and now I feel like I’ve just become a burden-like. I hate that I let it get to that point, especially when I was paying for this. I just want to give up. I feel broken down, and I don’t even want to be okay anymore.

i’m having a full on panic attack, i never used to be like this, what tf is happening to me, why am i like this, i’m so convinced i’m a horrible person and i deserve to be shut out forever because of my thoughts, i’m tired of struggling with harm ocd, i’m scared that because i have mental health issues i’m gonna end up ki!!ing someone someday or end up on the news, when i was at work earlier i kept thinking “how easy would it be to ki!! someone and get away with it” someone help, i don’t feel normal, am i crazy?… 😭😭i know that with ocd you’re not supposed to have reassurance and you have to be “okay” with the situation but.. how am i supposed to be okay with feeling like i could hurt someone…
