No, usually it does. I’m just too scared. I’m scared of everything. I just washed my hands seven times. I feel out of control.

So sorry to hear you're feeling like this. I hope you're feeling a little better now. Just remember "you have survived 100% of your worst days so far" and this feeling WILL pass. You are not alone. We all can empathise with how you're feeling. This fear is just your brain falsely sensing danger and trying to protect you. But this is a FALSE signal and you can correct this through acknowledging the feeling and carrying on anyway. I know it is SO hard but you can do this. You are SO strong ❤️✨

I want to tag each an every one of you, but I didn’t expect so much support! Thank you for every single word, all of you! It was in the middle of the night and I felt alone and it really helped to have somewhere to vent—and to people who actually get it. I watched videos of puppies online and passed out cold. ?

Big deep breath in to the count of 4.... Hold for one... you are doing marvelous And then gentle and very slow release Now try to find 5 things you can see, feel, and smell... Another breathing exercise There is a really amazing app called “calm” they have a subsection of guided meditation for anxiety. I highly recommend this along with a hot bath and maybe even some lavender. This won’t make the fears go away necessarily but it may help calm and shift perspective. You aren’t alone in this... I know you don’t feel like it right now but you are stronger than you think... ?❤️

There are lots of different therapy techniques out there from erp to cbt. (ERP being the most effective from what I hear). And different options out there for medications as well. You will make it through this, big hugs...

Stay strong ❤️ I had a major breakdown 2 days ago but I got through it with the help of my husband. Maybe u could talk to a friend or family member who is understanding and won’t stigmatize.

It feels like my life is about to end
No I’m not attempting or anything. I am just really in a depressive state as of now. I am so convinced that my fear is real you don’t even know. I don’t know what to do. I just want to go to sleep and wake up in a reality where this is all gone. But honestly I don’t know if that would change anything. I’m scared that this is who I was all along, and I’ve just been delaying what I will eventually become. I don’t want to do ANYTHING that my intrusive thoughts say AT ALL. But honestly that doesn’t mean anything anymore. I’m so convinced of the thought “you’ve been doing it this whole time without realizing it.” I think it’s true now. I feel incredibly stuck. I just want to be hugged :(

Frustrated
So my ocd has been doing better, in the sense that I am able to resist compulsions, but the thoughts are still there. And I get so upset because some days I’m just constantly stuck in my own head. Like I went out to today with my mom, and for a solid hour I was spiraling. And my OCD has been trying to make it seem like this flare up is different, and that because things aren’t working out the way I want them to be regarding my recovery, that it’s not OCD and I’m just a crazy person. It causes me to just shut down and want to just go home. I get so upset that I want to cry. I get intrusive thoughts that something bad is gonna happen, or that something doesn’t feel right, and so it feels like I do something, anything, to make me feel better about it. I also can’t sleep in my own bed. I’m so afraid that I won’t fall asleep in it, and if I don’t sleep, I will go crazy. My thoughts are just so scary rn, I don’t know what to do. I don’t want anything bad to happen to me :(
