You’re not alone in this and you will feel better. Self care is different for everyone! Mine is listening to music that makes me feel better and sometimes it’s a ride in the car with the music up too loud and the windows down. Sometimes it’s just allowing myself to cry without blaming myself for feeling weak. Think of what the things are that usually make you happier. If you can do it, do it. If you can’t, find someone you can talk to. If you don’t have anyone, know that your life has meaning and a greater PURPOSE. Call the number on this app and keep trying til you find someone to help you feel better!
Imagine OCD is a little furry monster with big comical teeth and little tiny arms and legs..it makes a little squeal to try and scare you, but you know it's just a little angry fuzz ball. Things like this make it easier to laugh at your own suffering and that really can be healing and liberating sometimes
Hey I’m here talk to me :)
Hey, it's alright to have bad days, whether anythings happened or not, it's normal to feel down throughout the day. For me, podcasts, TV shows especially my comfort shows and "happy" music helps my mood get better! Getting out the house is a good option too, maybe a cold shower to shock your brain out of the feeling of lowness? There are lots of things to do to make you feel better, or maybe a nap would be a good idea! Whatever works for you
When I feel really down, it’s hard to get out of that mindset but I find that forcing myself to do little things like sitting outside and coloring, showering, and brushing my teeth make me feel better and fresher. Having a healthy picnic-like lunch (like a sandwich with fruit) helps me, too.
Hey it’s okay it’s normal to have bad days just remember that these feelings or worries won’t last forever and that it will pass and you will also experience really awesome days too
I’ve been trying my best with ERP and just everything that’s going on. I have severe OCD, GAD, PMDD, panic disorder, recently diagnosed ADHD, and currently experiencing a major depressive episode. Apparently. I was taking a break from this app but I really need support right now. My family is honestly really mean and not understanding of what I’m going through. Right now it’s gotten bad to the point I had to withdrawal from my last semester of university. My only support is my boyfriend and he’s now planning to join the military. I won’t be able to talk to him for 3 months and I feel really scared of being alone with all of this. I know I shouldn’t depend on him to begin with but right now I’m at an extremely low point and I feel like I won’t make it alone. There hasn’t been a single day we haven’t texted and talked in 4 years. I feel really scared, but I don’t want to hold him back. You guys, I feel so sad and terrified right now. I don’t want him to go, he’s all I have.
Hey friends. I hope you all are doing good today. Just struggling mentally myself. Feel like a terrible mother, but I want another baby. My OCD has gotten better despite the terrible episode I had that I seem to not get over. I hope someone comments that could just give me some support with POCD
I'm struggling severely. Please comment so I have a therapist or someone to talk to. Someone has caused me to spiral in another group.
