And other people judge me because i'm not working, it's because you can't see just by my appearrance that i have ocd so i hear them thinking, why doesn't she work?
Same here. Ive judt quitted my job because of my ocd. My parents are desperately telling me I got a brain scan done and I keep thinking ive got sthg seirous on my brain due to my migraine daily auras ad it appears ti be something unusual. I have the thought 24/7 and Im so depressef I cant work?
i'm there too.. i'm 28 and everyone around me is working, starting familys and are going places.. while i'm back at my moms place trying to become human again, and that can really get me down to.. but as i just found of from this (thanks to your rant) i am not alone, and you are not alone.. so don't let that take over, cuz i think all of us would do amazing stuff if it were our choice! and yes, the word lazy (which is used way too often when it comes to this apparently) makes me see red.. they really have no idea how ut feels to be prisoner in your own mind so their opinion doesn't matter ?❤ all of you are fucking warriors, so don't let your minds or anyone else tell you different! ❤
Totally agree❤? we are warriors and we can face these crisis that come to us
I get you im in the same position as you,bthat used to seriously get me so down because my friends are going places. I’ve only had one job I haven’t been able to do any due to ocd ( I only found out I had ocd this year when I have been suffering for four years) but now I’m actively trying to recover. Putting in the work no matter how hard it gets because time is passing me by and I want to live life the way I want to live it. Sending you love and strength. ?
I’m 22 and feel the same way. Ruined my GPA by obsessing about studying perfectly while not studying at all
Yup they suck so bad :(
Know exactly what you mean, I'm 35 now and also at home for about Five years now, i can work 20hours a week but when i have a sollicitation everything goes well untill they learn i' ve ocd, then they close the door in front of me and the feeling of being useless i know all to well
That happens to me too Everyone just thinks I'm LAZY and TOO young to not do anything for myself. But you see... I just feel worn down and sick
It's true, i often feel weak and useless but actually i'm a fighter and i've more strenght then i often think i have, but it's not only the ocd that let's me down, it's also knowing that i've failed in many things, things that comes easy for others, or so it seems, i feel like i do not only have to deal with my ocd, but with the judgements of others, i had to go back and live under my parents roof with my son, having the knowledge that i make my partner and my parents their lives quiet often like hell, and i unwanted expose my son to my illness and that hurts the most, i also feel envy towards people who seems to get it all and i hate myself for thinking sometimes, why is their live perfect, can't something bad happen to them, something that make them feel like all hope is lost because that's the way i most of the time feel
Anyone else been stuck, unemployed, at home for a long period of time? How does it make you feel? I'm currently studying from home and my last job was 2 years ago. I left school 4ish years ago. I just feel like shit. I have a small service based business I've been trying to get going, but its difficult and covid ruined most of my bookings this year. It's horrible feeling useless when it feels the whole world is moving, and everyone is graduating, getting married or idk reaching some other milestone and I'm just lost in an abyss of dark confusion.
I feel like I'm failing at life. The friends I do have left are already living their lives, going to college, getting good jobs. All I do is sit at home overthink constantly horrible things. I have a hard time suriving working at a small retail job. And I don't really have any passion for a career. I wish more than anything I thought normally so I could have a decent t least life....why did I have to be like this? I'm sorry for the random rant
Does anyone feel like they’re wasting their life away with mental illness? It depresses me so much everyday. My mental health has ruined my life since I was 15 and now I’m approaching 24 and am still in the same place- actually worse. I feel like when I get my life together I’ll be 28 and all my good years would’ve passed. It just makes me so sad 😔
