That's right! Never give up! Even if you have to do baby steps.

I feel like this. Every. Single. Day.

@CherryPieInTheSky Yep. It’s maddening yet at the same time there’s just enough comfort that you stay stuck in the loop. I recently started taking ketamine. It’s helped the depression.

If you’re over it, that’s the first step to changing behavior. And it’s hard Rocco’s get behavior! I know I’m going to struggle to start working out again after my injury’s got me down for two months and counting—but it’ll be worth it and I don’t like what I look like after living an extremely seditsrty lifestyle. But it’ll be worth the hard work and the difficulties. It doesn’t matter how many times you get knocked down as long as you get up again.

I’m in the same boat, I’m sorry you’re struggling like this too. Every day I say “tomorrow will be different” but I’ve been saying that for years 😅

OCD was winning in my everyday life for almost two months. Hours of ruminating over Poison Ivy contamination, weird I know. Had a lot of it in the cottage we're leasing. My therapist had me yell stop once an hour and think about the worst thing that could happen in my ruminating. It was a way of taking back control on my time frame. It started freeing up some mind space for normal thoughts. Still compulsive a lot but able to mow the grass and pick the weeds again. Whatever your Poison Ivy is, start fighting back. Too soon to report any ERP victory . Good to all y'all. It's hard work but don't put off getting help and getting going. We can win these battles in our minds and reclaim our lives.

I cannot help but feel exhausted as I go through life. It feels like I've lost the spark in me. And I'm pushing myself for no cause.

Conflicted
TW// suicidal ideation There are things I want to do like i have an interview tomorrow for an exciting internship, but i also feel like I kinda don't wanna be here anymore. I'm not actively trying to do things to end my life, but I'm getting more and more tired of the same shit every day and i don't think I even want to come to terms with it and live for the next 40 or 50 years. maybe my constitution just sucks but idk if that's something I want. I don't want to accept OCD. im exhausted and frustrated. I don't want this in my life. But I'm not sure I want a life anymore anyways.

Tired of feeling like a bad person
I genuinely can't help but feel irredeemable over every little mistake made or regret I've had. It's so up and down, but I just miss the certainty. Knowing "this is who I am." I'm so disconnected from myself. Like, I'm really, really trying. Today is really rough... I got triggered the other night, and it's been hell since. I've been fighting seeking reassurance. I want it so, so incredibly bad, but I know it won't help me :( Some days, I just don't want to be here. It's funny because yesterday I felt amazing until I got triggered. I just immediately spiraled after that. I don't know. Does it genuinely get better? Will therapy really help me? Sometimes, I think maybe this is the best it'll get, and that scares me. Sorry for the vent. I'm just feeling so overwhelmingly anxious right now. I can't even cry (due to Zoloft). It feels claustrophobic somehow, having all these emotions trapped inside of my body with nowhere to go 😭
