Does anyone just feel like giving up

I’ve had Themes for 15 years now , Started with HOCD where I thought I might be gay because I had intrusive thought over 1 of my mates , which ocd was very new to me so I asked for reassurance and Researched and tested myself for months on end then I found articles about HOCD went to my GP who diagnosed me with OCD and put me on SSRI’s then it became POCD then it became Harm OCD then Health OCD then Suicidal OCD then POCD again and now it’s Death OCD/POCD/Harm OCD, I’m always second guessing myself even when I was in high school I’d get intrusive thoughts but I kinda just shook em away , if my nephew is getting changed I have to look away

I had a spontaneous fleeting thought in 1999. It morphed into HOCD and POCD overnight. I had it managed pretty well for many years. In the last three years it has really gotten bad. I started erp two years ago and did it really Half ass. I am now doing it again. The online zoom meetings are really good. U should get on it this monday.

Hey there, I know OCD is hard and very frustrating. You’re not alone! I’ve been feeling very overwhelmed because OCD as well. But there’s always hope for recovery! One of the best advice I’ve heard is that “ Living with untreated is OCD is hard, recovering from OCD and doing ERP is hard, Choose your hard”. Time will pass, but we need to decide how much longer are we going to let OCD have control over us. This is just some encouragement to keep pushing through. Know that OCD recovery isn’t completely perfect and we’ll have good and bad days. But recovery is possible. So don’t be too hard on yourself and just do your best. Hope you feel better soon and choose to not let OCD control you🤍 I’ll link a video to a recovery coach that very helpful. Take care and God bless✝️🙏🏽 OCD attacks : https://youtu.be/udfFfxIwVOQ OCD recovery motivation: https://youtu.be/t8VjDSTc3xc https://youtu.be/wpvgIev3qyI https://youtu.be/6MlUmyIPsMM https://youtu.be/jIdLJ04atLI
