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.

I’m really down and don’t have anyone i feel i can turn to. I’m just so tired of living as myself. I hate who i love with including myself. I feel so worthless. Having ocd on top of it makes me feel like im just a waste of space. I dont know how to stop feeling this way. Or if i deserve to. That’s all :(

Everyday I wake up, all my mind makes me think of is the stuff I’ve done in the past, like all day I’m in a constant cycle of judging who I used to be and it hurts so so much. I wish I never thought to do those things, I wish I had been more mature than how I was before, it’s really lowering my self worth and I don’t think I’ve ever felt this miserable before, like last summer was the worst because I was dealing with this shit, I about almost ended my life over it, and I thought it would get better, which it did, but it didn’t last but for a while. As soon as it became 2025 I was going through it again, having constant cycles of “I’m a good person” to “I’m the worst person imaginable” and I’m so sick of it because I just want to feel like the good person l like to imagine myself to be, but I can’t because of shit I did in the past that I obsess over. I’ve cried and screamed so much over it and it seems like it will never leave me.

i feel miserable, i don't know who to turn to anymore. i had very bad periods in my life where i felt depressed and suicidal for years but nothing compares to this, not only i feel depressed but my ocd is at an all time high. idk what to do i Just want to cry. i feel like I'm a monster and it feels reasonable to see myself this way. im a horrible person who doesn't deserve any of the good things in my life
