What is the point in being alive?
Don't get me wrong, I keep going because I wouldn't want to cause any hurt to anyone-none of us can just leave this world without upsetting those closest to us & I don't want to do that. But I'm starting to lose hope. I'm back living with my parents after a relationship breakdown & have been trying to rent a house in the UK where I live. But they discriminate against me because I'm on sickness benefits due, mostly, to this terrible illness. And I've tried to get therapy but the Mental Health services are literally ignoring my case, despite my GP sending countless emails to them to help me- I first got in touch with them because I had nearly followed through with a serious suicide attempt due to the OCD I've been struggling with for years. Therefore, I've not even got the choice to be able to get better with therapy- I can't afford to go private or even NOCD-- I'm completely broke. So, I'm stuck being unable to work/contribute to society, landlords won't accept me as a tenant & worse of all I'll never get better. But if anything, I hope this reminds someone out there that they are not alone. P.s. I think someone should start an awareness campaign for Real Event OCD for the public, as I think it should be a separate diagnosis & is the worst thing I've ever experienced.
