I don’t understand what’s wrong.
Why do I feel like such a coward?
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 feel the same way... It's frustrating and saddening... Same i used to be so sure of 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
I’m about to do Erp for being a bum, OCD just makes you feel like your really low
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
Like I'm not even scared I feel numb and ever since that night I've completely went down hill Idk what to do the feeling i felt this time genuily felt like i liked it and i didnt even have anxiety at that moment and now I'm panicking I really hope this is still OCD like I'm sorry if I'm still asking for reassurance but im really worried like it felt good in that moment I don't understand what's going on like I hope it was a false feeling and not something real.....like this has happened before but Idk 😭😭😭😭 I really don't know what to I don't want to turn into a p word I don't this I've been sleeping all day I still do compulsions a little to get rid of the thoughts but I've been getting sexual thoughts too and I don't want them but I feel like I do I don't understand I though I was getting better but I guess every time I get better everything gets worse..
I've found myself writhing on the ground from intrusive thoughts of my past. I have bruises all over from me hitting myself. Every waking moment is a nightmare, I can't do anything. Can't let people be mean. But standing up for myself turns into cruelty. Cruelty turns into a loathing, and then I fear that everyone hates me. I wish I could die, and live again. I don't want to lose my life, but I can't live like this.
TW I’m feeling really bad about myself today. I feel like a fraud and a liar. I’ve been unable to enjoy my time with my girlfriend because I’m bombarded with my thoughts. I’ve been asking for reassurance from so many people and nothing is helping. Nothing makes me feel better anymore and I’m worried that this is just how it’s going to be for forever. I miss when I could just be happy and not overthink so much. I miss being able to get through my days without this crippling anxiety. I’m worried there’s going to be a day where I realize I have no fight left in me
