I’m so sorry:( See how long you can convince yourself you’ll be okay? So say, ‘if I can do the next 5 minutes, I can do tonite.’ Then repeat? Think about what you want to be able to do one day, and remember you don’t have to be in perfect health, or completely okay to achieve them. They’re YOUR dreams and you’ll get to them any way you can, come hell or high water. You deserve them simply for existing, and loving and caring. We are guaranteed lows in life and sometimes they feel like they are lasting forever. They aren’t your forever though, and if anything- for the next 5 minutes, you will be okay❤️

I’m sorry you’re having such a hard time right now. I hope my ideas will help you. Treat yourself to something you enjoy. Get a manicure, go to the movies, go for a walk, or buy a sweet treat. I recommend getting some flowers. It’s amazing how happy they can make you feel. Focus on positive things. Make a list of everything you’re thankful for or read some inspirational quotes. Find something to look forward to and focus on it when you’re feeling down. Also, don’t forget to take care of yourself. Exercise is great for mental health. If you’re at all like me and have very little motivation to exercise, try dancing. Please remember that no amount of pain you’re feeling can come close to how special and loved you are❤️❤️

I have had suicidal OCD for over a year now. I just am struggling to fight it tonight. I just have an enormous amount of self doubt and I can’t stop wondering if I’ll ever make it through this or not. My life is great but I just feel miserable every day. Any encouragement helps. Thanks
