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.

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.

Is this my life now? A loop of fears and panic? Freshman year.. two years ago is when all this started. When I began my journey with this debilitating and scary disorder. For a while I felt like everything was okay. Like things were getting better. But tonight it’s getting so bad. I’m shaking, the thoughts are literally making my body enter fight or flight. The feelings.. the thoughts it all feels so real. It makes me question every aspect of who I am.. Is this forever? Will this be my life? If it is, that sounds like pain.. I constantly check myself.. which ain’t realize might be a compulsion. But I wonder, am I lying to myself? But then again I wouldn’t fear it so much if what I felt was true. I try to stay calm, to not fight the thought but let it pass. But it only grows in power. It’s been giving me these fake feelings. Things in which i’d never felt before. I just want to be okay. And I wonder if that’s even possible anymore. All I know is that I have my family, my Mom, everyone who loves me dearly. Please anyone… I don’t want to beg but if you could give me some motivation or positive words i’d love that.

I feel so bad right now, I feel like I’m back being in a dark place, I feel so convinced that I am attracted to these things like I genuinely feel like I am, and that it makes me agree with it, because it feels so strong… I don’t want to do this anymore, I can’t deal with this anymore, I’m getting in a dark place, I tried to see if my therapist was available and she hasn’t been available since September 17th, before my breakup, before my OCD got even worse. I feel like shit right now and I don’t know why to do anymore, I just want the pain to end so bad… I just don’t wanna fight anymore, I’m not trying to imply anything bad, but like genuinely give up. I just can’t handle any sort of photo of a kid anymore.

I feel so freaking scared. I know I’ll have an intrusive thought/urge and whatever I know I’m going to fight off another compulsion until I eventually give in bc I’m still so new to this. I am petrified and I feel like I cannot for the life of me relax. I’m sleep deprived, in a terrible place hormonally, withdrawing from meds, and being treated like a burden by people around me. I literally feel like I can’t do this. I keep thinking about those posts where people talk about the hypothetical scenarios where you learn your death date. I feel like if someone told me I’d die soon, I would cry of relief. I would never hurt myself but boy do I not want to experience this anymore.
