I’m sorry. It’s so difficult to deal with.
Thank you so much everyone. It’s incredible how much care there is on this app. You all deserve so much happiness :)
I understand. I am having such a hard time. I’m sorry Phie.
I think the same thing all the time but the truth is that it doesn’t matter how much longer I think I can cope with this. I HAVE TO. It’s not a choice. I have to be here for my husband and my family. You also have people who love and care about you. Trust me I’ve been there. I’ve attempted suicide twice and last year I promised my husband I would never do that again. It’s ok to not be ok. It’s ok to cry. It’s ok to have a panic attack. It is NOT ok to give up. @phie please go talk to someone who loves you a friend or family member. Notice the small things in life that you love or you used to love before this condition took over. Last year something as simple as a green mint chip ice cream cone distracted me enough to think things through a little more rationally. Do something you love. Watch a movie play with a pet ask someone for a hug and cry if you need too. I’m here if you need help. I understand what you’re going through. I think all of us on here do.
Thank you too @phie you also deserve so much happiness. Don’t forget that!!
I’ve had this exact same thought so many time and look at me still living and even enjoying myself at times. I went through a period where I couldn’t even remember the last time I genuinely smiled. I swore I would be that way forever, but that wasn’t the case. I have good days now and even though I have more rough than good, there is hope. This doesn’t last. And make sure you’re putting in the work to get better. Healing can be uncomfortable sometimes.
You’re not alone in that feeling, but we’ve got this! ????
Another day searching for a private therapist with no luck. I have never felt so unheard, misunderstood and alone. Although I know I'm not alone, posting on this app to people who understand the suffering. I am close to breaking point and honestly don't know how much longer I can cope. Each time I contact a therapist they come back to me saying they can't deal with my particular problem they don't have enough experience. Still on a very long waiting list with the NHS despite pushing and making them aware of how severe my situation is their only solution is for me to go to A&E. Honestly can't cope any more
my ocd has had one of its worse spikes yet, I feel constantly anxious no matter what I do and my brain won't shut up even for a moment, I genuinely don't know what to do, I feel like I'm stuck. how do I make this a little more bearable?
I feel like I’m on the very edge tip toe of a nervous breakdown but there’s no where I can go. If I go to a hospital I’ll loose my job that I so desperately need. Then what life will I have anyway?
