for the past four days, i haven’t been taking care of myself. i don’t sleep until 5, i wake up at 4 in the evening, i only have 1 meal a day, and i look ill. my room’s been a mess for a few months now so i’ve been sleeping in the guest room. my acne has worsened because i’ve been skipping my skincare routines and haven’t been showering. i feel so sad, i want to be productive and do something that makes me feel useful to others but i just can’t. sometimes i can’t even move. i just feel numb. sleeping has been the only way to really block out my thoughts. when i’m lucky i get good dreams and when i wake up sometimes i pretend those dreams actually happened. i feel like i have no one to talk to, no one really asks me how i’m doing anymore and i don’t blame them because we’re all going through something. but even my own parents don’t seem to bother about how i’m feeling. i just feel alone and i want to get through it but i’ve been too weak to. i don’t like this feeling

I went through a patch like that for awhile. My therapist says, "feelings follow actions." So I do things like, I use a baby wipe under my arms when I am too tired. I use cornstarch on my scalp to absorb oil. I eat a granola bar instead of a chocolate bar. And as my mood improves, I do slightly more. Maybe it's a bath and I watch my favorite TV show on my phone. Even if I didn't use soap, I am still cleaner than if I didn't go near water at all. Do you have a treatment plan?

hey ♡ i’m here to listen..! honestly, i feel the same way. i feel as if i’m a burden to others... this may be depression we are both going through. i also suffer from picking at my skin... i have ugly scars.. what is it that you have been feeling down about..? would you like to talk with me..? i’ve been feeling down as well... as long as you still have a beating heart, you still have love left within you. so, what will you do with that love? could you tell me... something that you cherish in life..? just.. you know, as a little start? *hugs* ♡

I’m sorry you’re going through this. I’m on the same boat as you. It’s hard to stay positive when you feel defeated. But it’s okay. This will pass. I’ve been bedridden this past month. Before that was several months ago. And more before. I’ve been trying to get treatments that I need with no luck. Don’t force yourself. When you feel you are ready then do the things you need to do. OCD is very exhausting. I’m not sure if you have co-existing disorders but if you do that’ll make things harder too. I know, I’m diagnosed with five other disorders.

hey! try to do things that you really like and enjoy, that really helps me to don't forget what's important to me. And always believe you can make it :) have faith in yourself, that's the most important thing

i feel so uselsss and out of place

i’ve also been compulsively picking my skin

I can really relate....
