I’ve been there. I just want to say things will change (even if that doesn’t seem possible in the moment) and you will have better days. We get tunnel vision when things are dark but remember that it’s going to be better and you’ll be so glad you stuck around. You seem like a really good person. There’s hope, I promise :)

I’ve been feeling like this for almost a year, been to counseling and i don’t seem to be getting better, I just want to snap out of it but I can’t….😞 my subconscious is just so negative and I can’t change it, everyday is the same

Time heals all wounds. Stay in there! I was in a bad place myself where i felt like there was no getting out of. Be open minded with your thoughts and feelings but non judgemental. When you stop labeling or judging the thoughts, they eventually start feeling less and less heavy. There will be good days, there will be bad days, but its part of life. Tell the ocd you no longer are scared and try laughing at the thoughts. You got this!!!

That’s what I do, I label my thoughts like crazy and tell myself there is really something wrong with me and that I need to go back to hospital

@vmurso22 Eventually youll start to realize that thoughts are simply a string of words, images are just a picture. They do not mean anything unless you give it value. Think about it, you dwell on the negative which causes them to stick around. You are amazing and will find peace before you know it. I have faith 🙌🏻

Hey I know how you feel. I’m 28 y old from U.K. and have ocd I think since I born I think cuz I remember many things that pop in my mind. As a young kid I took those thoughts very serious and that made me extremely anxious and I didn’t know why it was that bad. I realised that I have ocd like few years ago when I typed on google my thought and there was ocd on the top of the list but still I was like oh no it’s not I’m crazy etc. My intrusive thoughts was on and off until I get triggered by tv or life event but I always had checking and washing hands and scared of germs which didn’t bother me too much as it was mild sometimes severe. I thought this is enough to live like this for 28 years. I contacted my doctor and they told me that I have to wait on the waiting list for like 5 months and I was soo upset cuz I need to still live this way. Told my best friend about my thoughts and she was like oh yes I get them too and same to my sister and some other people too and all this 28 years I thought I am crazy for having such a thing in my mind but just figured it out that intrusive thoughts are normal. That made me feel better. Now I read book about “break free from ocd” and it kinda helps until my real cbt therapy day. Main thing is don’t give up NEVER.

Thank you guys, the tough part is the depression, it makes me feel like I have nothing to look forward too, this is all started a year ago when me and my girlfriend of 5 years broke up…she was my everything, my best friend, I really looked forward to marrying her, then it all vanished

I was in the same boat! Same situation. Felt like depression and ocd got extremely worse after it all. I still often have dreams about it all but guess what? Life is too short to dwell on what could have been, you gotta find peace within yourself and believe that the right person IS out there for you. I got your back

I don't think I can handle my ocd anymore
I can't stop thinking about ending my life. I feel like I'm not even living, I'm just surviving. Everyone is capable of being a person and functioning and I'm just stuck here avoiding everything. My psychiatrist said my ocd is severe and it will all take time and I'll start erp and I'm already on medication but I just feel so depressed and like I won't be able to handle erp and it's already too late for me. I feel inhuman, it's debilitating. My major theme is just fear or contamination, I can't even make myself a meal I can't touch anything in the kitchen. I get stuck in the shower for 2 hours and when I don't shower because I'm depressed I feel like a walking germ. My hands are a mess, my school work is shit, I avoid and avoid and I'm just so tired of "living" like this. My psychiatrist said they don't have any therapists available right now like.... excuse me? What do you mean u don't have any 😭 I honestly don't even know why I'm typing this becuase nothing helps, nothing ever will. I'm so deep into this I can't get out, my room looks like shit, I can't live in this body anymore, I really can't. I let everyone down, I am and will be such a dissapointment. I don't have any dreams or goals or passions I just wasn't made to be here. I don't know how or who to ask for help like there's nothing anyone can do, I'm already on meds. I can't keep being like this, seeing everyone judge me for acting insane.

Tired
At this point I think I’m just tired. Took me a massive amount of strength to even type this. I’ve never had it this bad with anxiety depression and OCD. Firstly, how do you guys handle the trauma that comes with OCD. I recently realized Ive traumatized by own mind. I think this contributes to depression. Also, the thoughts frequency have gotten so high. It just literally jams its self in my brain. Before, I had some sort of control (at least a grip) but this days it’s so hard to try to get a grip. The unwanted feelings too? Omg, reactions that I literally can’t stand plagues me. My mind turns almost everything sexual. It’s crazy 🙃 Then the anxietyyyyyy! Wheew. I’m like a walking anxiety attack, my heart is always beating fast and it’s so painful. Working is so hard because I can’t get a grip, I feel so broken and I don’t think anyone can relate to this. I don’t know what I can do to help. Then the pressure in my head (that causes headache sometimes), sometimes I genuinely think I have a tumor! I’m pregnant so that makes it sadder, makes me wonder what kind of mother this beautiful soul is coming out here to meet. I don’t want to be a sad mother, and I cry more when I realize my child can feel what I feel rn in my belly😔. Another thing, the moment I don’t wanna do something, doesn’t even have to be anything bad. That’s when it feels my mind wants to force me to do it. It’s a whole lot and I’m just holding on to Jesus to help me out. At least he’s here so that’s comforting.
