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

Feeling bad
I feel like a lot of my fears are actually just centered around what other people think of me because I'm scared of being abandoned and no one loving me anymore. I don't actually feel like my fears are about being a good person. And then when I have this thought it makes me feel even worse because many people here genuinely seem to be scared of being a bad person. I feel like an actual bad person who's more concerned with appearances than anything else :(. I keep having these thoughts like what kind of person am I when I'm alone and with my thoughts. And then I get scared to be alone.

Tw I am so scared
I am so scared of everything .Of my thoughts.If I am a good person.Years ago I didnt help a kid who was in danger.Since then I started to have terrible thoughts :( i am so terrified.I still have these thoughts and I am scared it means something about me .I really dont want to hurt anyone and I want to help that kid now but idk how I can now.Also I am scared I betray everyone.I still have terrible thoughts and when I am with someone I care is worse...idk why.For example I started to talk with a collegue and he is really nice to me.I told him some things abt me( not the intrusive thoughts) and he was supportive.I have no idea if I will tell anyone abt my thoughts..and bcs of that I feel like I lie to them and betray them.I really want to enjoy my life and be happy and support people( especially because I didnt help that kid then).I want to live up to my morals now but I feel like I lie and manipulate people bcs I am a monster.Is this normal? To feel this way? What can I do? What if I am my worst fear and just cant accept it?!
