I sometimes think I deserve bad things because of what I’ve gone through. And it gets just as bad as you’ve described. I won’t say I’m recovered from that but i will say that it comes and goes. And it feels so real but it’s not

I know it’s a hard thing to deal with but please don’t let the OCD win. I deal with those kind of thoughts everyday the OCD telling me I’m a terrible awful person and I don’t deserve anything good in life. I know what you’re going through. It makes life hell sometimes but OCD is just OCD. It likes to make us believe the worst about ourselves when the evidence points to the opposite. If you need to talk more I’m open to listen. I’m here to help.

Hello, I know how hard battling OCD can be. I have been in your exact position before where I felt there was no hope. Through ERP and refusing to engage with the thoughts I was able to get better. And you can too! Take small steps at first. Try not engaging with the thoughts for 5 minutes, then 10, then 20, etc at a time. Tell your brain “nope not thinking that thought for ____ amount of minutes” and stick to it. Try to accept the uncertainty of the thoughts. Tell OCD “yep, I might be a bad person but I don’t care. I am going to continue my day but you can keep bringing these thoughts up if you want.” It will definitely be tough but you can do this! Do 1% better every day and in 100 days you will be 100% better!

Why do you believe you are a bad person?

because I feel like I am. Many times I think I am in sin, and that I am not a good person, brother, son. I keep believing ocd telling me I dont deserve nothing good

@Heello That’s not the way to do it. There’s other ways to relieve stress and anxiety. I’m sure you’re not a bad person. I’ve been there and it’s very difficult to deal with. There is a way out.

Deep depression help
I feel like a horrible person who doesn’t deserve to live. So even when I start feeling better I feel like I don’t deserve that. I just feel like a bad person who doesn’t care about anyone

Horrible morning
I can't even look at myself in the mirror. I've spent the morning crying, and I feel like I don't deserve to. I feel like I'm a horrible person or a... you know. I'm so sick of this. I'm just so tired of everything. I don't see my psychiatrist until two weeks from now. How am I going to make it till then? :( Even writing this post, I feel like I'm deceiving everyone and that I'm actually a monster. I'm so convinced of this right now. I don't know what to do. I was literally okay a few days ago. I don't even know what's real and what's not, like... I think I do? But everything is so distorted. I can't stop replaying memories trying to figure things out. I really need my psychiatrist right now. I feel like I need to confess, like I've been trying so hard not to, but every person I see, I just keep thinking about how badly I want to ask them if I'm a bad person or not, and that makes me feel worse. A good person wouldn't feel the need to ask that over and over again, would they? What if I'm just seeking validation because I can't accept that?
