a novelist... that seems like a wonderful dream to wish to be. i would love to read your writings. cherish your talents and hobbies... this is your happiness. a flower could blossom anywhere, as long as it is grounded. just write. write. write. as long as you are living, there is *always* a chance to be happy. you could still search... still fight... still live. one step at a time. maybe.. you could write a metaphorical story of all your feelings... what color? what smell? what sound? what touch? what appearance? is it scary..? are there monsters..? is it lonely..? i wish you could find your passion and inspiration again. you’ve had it before. you have just temporarily lost it... because depression is a thief. it steals our memories of love away. but you still have love within you. i’ll pray for you. ♡ bless your heart.

To “Cat Attack”: I hope you are seeing a Psychiatrist for medication for your Depression as well as your OCD. If the Depression isn’t managed, you cannot work on your OCD.

hey ♡ i just read this quote and i thought of you. i wish to share this with you... “Writing is finally about one thing: going into a room alone and doing it. Putting words on paper that have never been there in quite that way before. And although you are physically by yourself, the haunting Demon never leaves you, that Demon being the knowledge of your own terrible limitations, your hopeless inadequacy, the impossibility of ever getting it right. No matter how diamond-bright your ideas are dancing in your brain, on paper they are earthbound.” ~ William Goldman

MRB5124 okay, except I’m depressed BECAUSE I have OCD. And medication is not right for everyone. I don’t like how people throw that around. I used to think medication would work for me, and when it didn’t I became even more DEPRESSED because I had thought that would help me! I can’t try to find one that works by trying out different medication due to the fact that I started developing seizures (that magically went away when I stopped taking them even though that apparently wasn’t a side affect ?) that went away after I went off them.

I don’t know if it’s worth it to keep going. I have so many diagnoses, so little support, and constant struggles with finding the right medication. My immune system is weak, I have multiple deficiencies, and I’m dealing with so many physical health problems on top of severe OCD. It’s just too much. On top of everything, my family treats me so not okay. Every single day is a fight just to keep going—to wake up, to eat, to take care of myself even a little. I’ve lost over ten pounds in the last two weeks from how depressed I’ve been. And instead of support, all I get is blame. My family constantly throws my struggles in my face, calling me selfish, as if I’m choosing this. I am trying so hard to push past all of this. But after five long months of severe OCD, anxiety, depression, panic disorder, and everything else making life unbearable, I am exhausted. And to be called lazy? Selfish? *Worthless*? How am I supposed to keep going when the people around me refuse to see how hard I’m trying? I don’t want this anymore. None of this suffering feels worth it. What am I fighting for just to be treated this way by my own family? To be yelled at for the look on my face, when my face reflects nothing but the stress, panic, and despair I’m drowning in? Am I still supposed to smile for them? This isn’t fair. No one should have to live like this. I don’t deserve to be treated this way, I’m really trying to keep going, but I just want everything to end.

I’m struggling so much, I don’t know what’s changed. I was doing so well for a solid two months and now it’s been over a month of just my lowest point. My bf has gotten upset at how much I do compulsions and it’s taxing him too. I can’t imagine how hard it is to be my partner right now. I feel exhausted I’m tired of my OCD finding new things to obsess or worry over. I’m so TIRED of getting stuck on technicalities. I’m so exhausted with the constant intrusive thoughts and intrusive thinking. I’m so sick of how compulsive I get when I’m so riddled with anxiety. I don’t want to keep pushing. It feels pointless if my life is going to be a constant loop of ups and extreme lows. I feel like such a disgusting, embarrassing person. I don’t want love because I don’t feel like I deserve it. I don’t want patience or understanding because it makes me feel so guilty. Like no one is understanding how bad of person I could truly be. I’m so lost and tired of this

I know everything im dealing with is OCD. I have accepted that, but I just feel down. I don’t want to live the rest of my life like this. I just want to be free from this horrible illness. Any positive stories and recovery journeys will help. What did recovery look like for you? I used to be so happy, I miss it so much. This feels like it’s taken everything from me. How do you just live your life despite how you feel? Any hope will help!
