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.

I just can’t do this shit anymore.im tired of these “arousal” sensations that feel real but when I go check my arousal to the same gender I just get anxiety. I’m tired of feeling like I can’t like girls anymore. I’m tired of my arousal getting blocked every now and then because I’m anxious. I’m tired of not knowing who I am anymore. I’m tired of having my mind putting me into an identity I never asked for. I’m tired of this life

Lately, my mood shifts so frequently. A couple of minutes ago, I got triggered and decided that instead of doing a compulsion, I'd write in my journal (since I haven't done that in a while). But after writing not even half a page... I'm okay? Well, sorta! 😭 I'm experiencing a resurgence in old obsessions, which is disappointing. A couple of weeks back, I was doing a lot better, but now it's just one thing after another. Really wish therapy was more affordable. I'm already seeing my psychiatrist, but she wants me to see a specialist as well. When I think about living with this for the rest of my life, I can get a little emotional. I know it'll get easier to manage as time passes, and it might not even affect me in the future, but right now...? It's a lot of work I'll need to do to overcome this. I'm willing to do it, but I get discouraged at times... But that's enough of my little vent! I hope anyone who reads this is doing okay. Hang in there 🤍

I have hold back my tears . I’m trying so hard to play it off. I can’t think about it anything without on the verge of falling apart . I have no self control over my mind . I’m scared. Is this a psychosis . I have barely eaten in days . My stomach is growling but I have no appetite. Idk what’s going on . Normally if I have a rough week I can fight it but I can’t fight it this time. My biggest fear is loosing my bf. I’m spending the day with him and all I can do it think about what’s gonna happen when I leave .
