I don’t understand what’s wrong.
Why do I feel like such a coward?

Yeah I just feel like the worst father/husband. Just human in general but I know I’m not. I feel just scared or something. I use to be so sure about everything.

I know this feeling... From being very brave years ago.. Now i am a shell because of Ocd... I believe OCD triggers a flight response that makes me that way.. Im. No expert im just thinking aloud here in my case

Yeah the founder of the NOCD app was a college athlete and had a girlfriend and he was getting his life started and then he started having ocd about his girlfriend and life. It got worse until it eventually got so bad he had to leave school and live at his parents house. If I remember correctly I think he didn’t have a job either. Ocd just debilitated him. But then he got with a therapist trained in ERP and through learning it reclaimed his life and said he was “better off than he was before.” So then he founded NOCD to try to help people gain access to the treatment that helped him. There is hope. We don’t have to live like this the rest of our lives

hi there, i’m so sorry you feel this way. ocd is debilitating. ocd and gad have both contributed to my poor life decisions which have ruined my social life. i just want to know that you are not a coward. ocd can hurt us, belittle us and tear us down. but we have to try not let it define us as best as we can. made progress but gone back to bad compulsion? try again. feeling resentful toward ocd? prove ocd what a brave and powerful person you are. ignore the thoughts. you are strong and capable person. go get life and do what you what. it’s easier said than done as it takes a lot of work and dedication, but i know you can make it

Not doing great this morning
I see people living their lives and just enjoying themselves. Not taking things too seriously and not overly stressing. And then there’s me. Who stresses at the slightest thing. Whose OCD has taken massive chunks of my life that I’ll never get back. It feels like I’m going through life just terrified of my own f*cking shadow… Any small thing I have to deal with that to anyone else might just cause slight inconvenience or nervousness, causes me to have an almost complete and utter breakdown. WHY CANT I HANDLE LIFE. I am so ashamed of who I am. I want to be someone who is brave and courageous and who does things and lives life anyway, regardless of fear. But no. I avoid living because of it. Why am I even here if this is how my life is? What is the point? I’m going through it today, friends 😭
