Positive vibes sent your way. Think positive. Get rid of negativity by changing your thoughts. Try writing in a journal and start by saying Dear journal Today I feel…. I wish you much luck in feeling like yourself again. ❤️

You got this, I felt the same for a bit but sticking to my treatment and trusting on the process has helped me. Also an amino acid I take for relaxing and focus is L theanine helps a lot

I think the hard times in life come and go. We continue to learn so things that were hard to handle when we were younger become much easier. So much has changed in my lifetime so far - it’s possible new treatments, new discoveries will emerge but for now there is a ton of hope, yes it’s lots of hard work but it will get easier if we focus on each moment that’s in front of us and the power we have over it. Keep holding on, keep preparing yourself for you’re future self. Sending you lots of well wishes.

I can relate to this completely, and I promise that things will get better! You’re only 14, so 1) not many things have opened up to you yet and 2) your brain is still developing. I’m only 17, and I’ve started seeing how much better things can get as my brain matures and as exciting things come up for me like driving and working. For the first time in a very long time, I’m actually making progress and doing EXCITING things like spending time with my friends, getting my license, and working. Your OCD will lose power as your brain becomes stronger and as you come to realize how much more there is to life than making OCD feel safe.

11 months and im so done
im so tired of trying to express my feeling and feeling so dumb. im so angry and my chest hurts from sadness and stress all the time with no one to talk to, this is so lonely. the only friend i had got annoyed with me and said maybe this is happening because i dont listen. i hate this so much and i gained so much weight from stress. i cant look pretty or happy if i tried.

feeling misunderstood
Having ocd is so incredibly exhausting and depressing- my mom and dad argued with me for over an hour talking about how im a pain to be around, go in too many loops, and ruin everything and everyones mood… this conversation started with me saying im stressed out because of school and that i dont want to go because im exhausted- and idk if this is like ocd directly but it takes me like 2 hours to get ready in the morning because i need to look PERFECT and the same everyday literally 😭 and that process feels so exhausting every morning at 6am but i will NOT go to school without going through with it- i will literally be crying and shaking and wanting to go home the minute i get to school if even a single strand of my hair is not perfectly straightened or any blemishes or flaws are showing- and i cant even walk to school or anything bc im scared the humidity will mess with my hair and everything- and it just really affects my life? And yeah its freaking exhausting. And i have two more years of highschool and I dont know if im going to make it 😭i get super stressed over grades too because i need them to be extraordinary otherwise its a fail. Nothing below 95%. And thats also tiring! 😁 and my mom told me today “medication IS NOTTTT AND OPTION!!!” Like oh okay so im just cooked 😭 and therapy isnt really helping me at all- i feel like what im being told is so basic and generic and it doesn’t help me when im in a huge ocd episode- which is often… and what i hate most is like my mom says “don’t come to me with your problems after 6pm…” im sorry i cant schedule my feelings 😭 im so tired
