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
How do I do it? I need help.
I genuinely feel like this terror inside myself, like this is my last day till everything gets horrible… idk suddenly I have this anxiety this “fear of nothing” makes me feel like I’m not gonna make it, that I will never feel okay and that my life is over. I’m scared, I’m always scared
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.
