I’m so sorry, it can be so hard. First of all, you’re not alone. One of the hardest parts is the feelings of isolation—like you’re the only one having these thoughts and feelings, but the reality is you’re not. If you’re not already in therapy, I recommend it. NOCD’s therapists are trained in ERP and deal with all kinds of OCD. Nothing you say will faze them and they are skilled at helping you in your recovery journey. If that’s not an option, or just in the meantime, I also recommend the support groups. There are general groups and groups for specific subtypes of OCD. Finally, if you’re struggling acutely at any point, there is an SOS feature in the NOCD app that will help you utilize the best tools we’ve got to embrace the uncertainty. OCD is tough, but you’re tougher.

I don’t know how to deal with the thoughts that come and barely gone. Usually, the brain often remembers and forgets things. People with OCD however struggle with trying to forget the intrusive thoughts because of the imbalance trying to convey what is real and if the thoughts in your head will come true. Just for the past few days, I was having fun and suddenly hit with a wave of obsessive thoughts and making me stuck with nowhere to go.

Idk if im the only one but I've literally just been holed up in my bedroom for the past 3 months and have barely gone out especially in the last 2. I'm too scared to leave and interact with people normally because I feel like a criminal and like someone who doesn't deserve to be around others. But in the same breath, I'm starting to hate my bedroom. It just feels like all my negative emotions are being bottled up and stored in here. I keep telling myself I should go out and take a walk and maybe it will feel better to just be out in the fresh air. But also don't want to because I'm quite lethargic on top of not eating that much either. Just feeling... stuck.
