Feeling so low with this

Not feeling so great today, doesn't help I stayed in bed all day and didn't really eat for 24hrs etc I don't think, staying in bed longer ok, but I think I needed to eat something in between. Anyway I just feel like I've hit a brick wall with my thoughts and feelings. I feel dirty, feel I may be contaminating things etc, and finding it hard to rationalise things and be happy, I think some things are ok but I still think I'm in the wrong or something. Maybe I'm just in an OCD cycle where I can't think so clearly and it will pass. Anyone else feeling a bit numb with this

Thankyou, I mainly try and sleep because that's where I'm a peace of mind (unless i have dreams that are bad) but I get you and thanks for the comment. It's just a hard process when u feel like crap and it becomes physical.

Agree with VGH. I have tried that "laying in bed" thing and I cant recommend it. Make small plans for each days, raise up the same time every mornkng, until its a routine, with time it will help you clear your mind. You are stronger than you know, and you arent created to stay in bed for so long.

Get out - go for a walk, sit in the park or something. See that other people just get on with their lives (the lucky so-and-so's!). If they can do it, so can you. There aren't bodies piled high in the streets because people aren't doing whatever you feel compelled to do. And whatever your compulsions are, they are not keeping everyone else alive - otherwise how could there be anyone older than you? Do you see what I mean?

So sorry to hear you’re feeling badly. When I felt this way, as hard as it was, I forced myself to get up, shower, eat etc. I found it impossible to not stay “stuck in my head” if I was just laying in bed. We can’t stop our thoughts but just the act of getting up, getting food etc puts some distance between your thoughts and you. If can give you the space to get on with your life and feel better. Good luck!

Horrible feelings

My thoughts are so loud today even just normal overthinking when I don’t know what’s related to my ocd anymore I’m trying to stay positive but sometimes it’s hard to get through the day especially when I can’t talk to anyone My head hurts and my sleep has been not good lately like I know I’ll be okay but sometimes just feels like a mess and my head won’t shut up

Don’t want to get up

Just don’t even want to get out of bed I’m trying to stay positive and be grateful for my life and realise how lucky I am to be here and alive but sometimes I just feel like I can’t get out of bed and get on with my day alone. It’s 12:38 and I need to get breakfast but I’m just feeling so guilty and scared of my own brain and feeling like I don’t even know who I am anymore Feel like I’m gonna relapse. Why is it so hard to fight these thoughts I don’t fucking want them!!!!! Leave me alone how am I meant to know what’s me and what’s my ocd Just feel so angry and fed up

Not a good day

I’m spiralling this week. My mind feels like a catalogue flicking through chapters of my life and finding bits to pick on. I’m doubting lots of different actions or events over the years and worrying if these mean I’m a terrible person. I know this is ocd but the fact they actually happened is making it really really hard to deal with. Can’t wait for this episode to pass but already scared for the next flare up as this is happening more often. Any advice welcome 🙏
