I just want to say, whoever is reading this, you are so strong. The fact that you downloaded an app to try to help yourself is a huge step! I’ve always had OCD my whole life, it just got really bad with my intrusive thoughts that started half a year ago. I’ve developed depression, and severe anxiety these past six months. It gets so hard. Just waking up in the morning feels like a huge task now. I feel like I lost myself through all of this, like I’m this random person now. It’s so hard that I mostly try to pretend that my thoughts/compulsions never happened . I try to pretend that my life is the same from before this started. Everyday goes by so fast, I wake up, I brush my teeth, try to eat breakfast, do my school, obsess over my thoughts, eat dinner, and head to sleep as obsessing. I’m not satisfied with my life, but I’m gonna try to overcome this. I wanted to tell people this so I could remind you, you’re not alone! One step at a time is what matters.

I hear you, that sounds very difficult. You are certainly not alone

I've had OCD my whole life as well, and it has definitely felt like I've been living the same routine over and over lately. What helps me feel positive is remembering all of the tiny things that make me happy, whether it's talking with the barista at my local coffee shop or hearing one of my favorite songs. Those seem to be the only things that break up the repetition

Exactly! With this it just makes you wanna do nothing, not even daily tasks.
