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.

Can't be home alone. How can I over come ?
It's been a year since I've been able to stay home alone. I don't know how to fight this. I feel like the world will collapse on me. That the house will cave in. Or I'll just lose my mind and scream and run outside screaming and saying the world is falling type thing. I don't know how to help myself. I'm to scared to even try to be alone. I have to have my son 18 stay home with me or my aunt stay with me when my son does leave. It's horrible. I feel like I'm holding my son back from so much. I don't know how to beat this. Please help

I am scared I might die within the next few days
I'm currently living through a massive health scare with really scary symptoms. I am scared I might have an aneurysm due to my symptoms but despite that the doctor's don't think it's urgent. I have some test scheduled but I will have to wait weeks for some of them. I don't know how to get through this knowing I could die any moment. I live in constant terror ever since those symptoms started. I can't function. Can anyone here please help me with this??? I don't know what to do?

I can't do this anymore
I can't live with OCD anymore. It's ruining my life. I feel like I'm being constantly bullied in my own mind all day everyday. I don't know if what I think and feel is ever real or normal or okay, what is me and what is the OCD thoughts. I don't know if any of my experiences are normal. I'm exhausted from picking apart every single conversation I ever have with anyone until I'm strung out by a vague and ambiguous feeling of guilt. I'm tired of feeling like I'm a bad person and feeling scared all the time and not knowing why and having my brain spin me out on an endless spiralling train of thoughts that never goes anywhere and just makes me feel disconnected from everything and everyone around me. I don't know what I feel and if what I feel is normal or if anything I am doing is real and actually me or if I'm 'losing my mind.' I don't even know if this makes any sense. I get into these states of mind where every thought in my head and everything I feel and perceive makes me question my own sanity. I don't know if anyone likes me because I have absolutely no concept of what I am actually like. I feel completely lost and confused CONSTANTLY.
