I felt like that few days ago...just pure hopelessness and despair...I'm just so sad for all of us. We feel like we are all some terrible people when in reality people with OCD are just gentle souls, I heard people with OCD are actually too good. I'm sure 100 % you are good person too. And it does get better, there are a lot of people who recovered completely. Don't let OCD win. What type of OCD you have?

You can get through this. Take it day by day, minute by minute. I've felt that way before, not suicidal but just wanting it all to stop. Life gets so much better. You'll find the way to get past this

There has been no evidence of it ever getting better. After seeking treatment, it has only gotten worse. I feel like my brain could explode any second. I'm tired of people telling me to hang in there, or that it won't last forever. So tired of it. I'm tired of the optimism.

There actually is evidence. The evidence are people who are now OCD specialists online like Ali Greymond, Mark Freeman and Rober Bray. They all suffered from OCD and they all don't have OCD anymore. Mark Freeman just said few days ago he beat OCD not 100% but 110%! So, it can be done definitely. Don't get me wrong, I don't want to offend you in any way but you're doing something wrong or your therapist isn't good. Maybe the exposures are too hard for you.

To give someone false hope is the cruelest.

When I first tried treatment I had the same. I realised that, for me, we had started to difficult. We were trying to work through one of my really big obsessions that were giving me the most anxiety. Once we started exposure on the smaller things it built up my confidence and encouraged me that recovery was possible

I can't stop thinking about ending my life. I feel like I'm not even living, I'm just surviving. Everyone is capable of being a person and functioning and I'm just stuck here avoiding everything. My psychiatrist said my ocd is severe and it will all take time and I'll start erp and I'm already on medication but I just feel so depressed and like I won't be able to handle erp and it's already too late for me. I feel inhuman, it's debilitating. My major theme is just fear or contamination, I can't even make myself a meal I can't touch anything in the kitchen. I get stuck in the shower for 2 hours and when I don't shower because I'm depressed I feel like a walking germ. My hands are a mess, my school work is shit, I avoid and avoid and I'm just so tired of "living" like this. My psychiatrist said they don't have any therapists available right now like.... excuse me? What do you mean u don't have any 😭 I honestly don't even know why I'm typing this becuase nothing helps, nothing ever will. I'm so deep into this I can't get out, my room looks like shit, I can't live in this body anymore, I really can't. I let everyone down, I am and will be such a dissapointment. I don't have any dreams or goals or passions I just wasn't made to be here. I don't know how or who to ask for help like there's nothing anyone can do, I'm already on meds. I can't keep being like this, seeing everyone judge me for acting insane.

I’ve been going through this rough patch for the last four months, and I can already feel an even worse one coming. I just feel scared. And on top of that, I’m going to stop therapy. After everything with my current therapist, I just don’t have the strength to keep trying anymore. I feel hopeless. My head hurts so much, and it’s hard to keep going when everything feels this bad. I just want to cry, hope this feeling passes, and maybe try again if it ever lets up. But right now, it feels like nothing will ever get better. I don’t feel like I can ask for help. I hate that it took me so long to realize this wasn’t the therapist for me. I was too scared of being dramatic, so I let it go on for far too long, and now I feel like I’ve just become a burden-like. I hate that I let it get to that point, especially when I was paying for this. I just want to give up. I feel broken down, and I don’t even want to be okay anymore.

I don’t know if it’s worth it to keep going. I have so many diagnoses, so little support, and constant struggles with finding the right medication. My immune system is weak, I have multiple deficiencies, and I’m dealing with so many physical health problems on top of severe OCD. It’s just too much. On top of everything, my family treats me so not okay. Every single day is a fight just to keep going—to wake up, to eat, to take care of myself even a little. I’ve lost over ten pounds in the last two weeks from how depressed I’ve been. And instead of support, all I get is blame. My family constantly throws my struggles in my face, calling me selfish, as if I’m choosing this. I am trying so hard to push past all of this. But after five long months of severe OCD, anxiety, depression, panic disorder, and everything else making life unbearable, I am exhausted. And to be called lazy? Selfish? *Worthless*? How am I supposed to keep going when the people around me refuse to see how hard I’m trying? I don’t want this anymore. None of this suffering feels worth it. What am I fighting for just to be treated this way by my own family? To be yelled at for the look on my face, when my face reflects nothing but the stress, panic, and despair I’m drowning in? Am I still supposed to smile for them? This isn’t fair. No one should have to live like this. I don’t deserve to be treated this way, I’m really trying to keep going, but I just want everything to end.
