You're not alone man I don't think anyone with OCD enjoys living with it no matter what the theme is.

@NeverGiveUp I feel like I can’t stop checking and doing compulsions

@Anonymous You need to realize that checking is just going to fuel OCD more that's what I'm starting to realize again. OCD isn't logical meaning even if you sit hours checking it's going to do nothing even if you find some sort of reassurance it'll only last a short amount of time before you'll feel uncertainty again and repeat it all over.

@NeverGiveUp I know but no matter how much I tell myself that I end up getting stuck in the same compulsion and ritual. And I don’t know how to stop it

@Anonymous Have you tried to use distraction? Don't distract from things that trigger you but I mean everytime you go to do a complusion/ give yourself reassurance you can do something you enjoy instead like watch a movie or play a game.. anything you enjoy doing that clears your mind really.

@NeverGiveUp That works sometimes but only for a short period of time. Then when I’m alone again or not doing anything it comes back and it’s all I can think about

@Anonymous Do you have access to therapy? If you do you should really seek help I'm planning on doing the same soon I've been dealing with so many themes the last 3 years and it's been hell. You should seek help sooner than later trust me bro. Especially if you can't stop thinking about it and it's causing you non stop distress.

I don’t want to do this anymore
I’m struggling so much, I don’t know what’s changed. I was doing so well for a solid two months and now it’s been over a month of just my lowest point. My bf has gotten upset at how much I do compulsions and it’s taxing him too. I can’t imagine how hard it is to be my partner right now. I feel exhausted I’m tired of my OCD finding new things to obsess or worry over. I’m so TIRED of getting stuck on technicalities. I’m so exhausted with the constant intrusive thoughts and intrusive thinking. I’m so sick of how compulsive I get when I’m so riddled with anxiety. I don’t want to keep pushing. It feels pointless if my life is going to be a constant loop of ups and extreme lows. I feel like such a disgusting, embarrassing person. I don’t want love because I don’t feel like I deserve it. I don’t want patience or understanding because it makes me feel so guilty. Like no one is understanding how bad of person I could truly be. I’m so lost and tired of this

Don't want to live this life
Feeling like I am a burden on my parents as well on me. No my parents never said anything like this. I just want to end this life which is full of mental suffering which can't be explained. Feeling like I will never be able to do anything in my life. I so want to go far away from these things where there will be only peace.
