daily fear/depression

ive been having a very hard time. im trying to get into a program but it takes time. im in school and i have panic attacks daily and i see my therapist all the time. i have somatic and contamination/health ocd and it feels so real. i get memories and images in my head of my fear. im scared of how im going to react to anything. i feel like idk what going to happen. i cant sleep well. eating is difficult. i cant focus i have no motivation. im depressed and feel helpless. im just terrified and tired. ive been in so many programs amd therapies since i was 8 yrs old and ive never not struggled. im very frustrated and so tired of it all. please tell someone else has been here too. i feel very alone

You are not alone. I’m sorry you haven’t found the right treatment yet. I’ve had bad and good myself. I’m just starting with NOCD and hoping it works so I can’t say much about it. Do you currently have someone doing ERP and helping you with meds? When I was a train wreck residential treatment from Rogers Behavioral Health really helped. A number of people there were taking a break from school to get better.

@maxp2105 If you don’t get in the nyc one check out Rogers Behavioral online - residential in Wisconsin is good but the Madison facility doesn’t sound good. I’m in California and it was worth the trip there
