I am so sick and tired if feeling this way. I feel like my ocd impacts every part of my life. I am scared of anything. How can I change this? The last three days have been so so so hard, I feel like I don’t wanna live my life like this forever. Its so emotionally exhausting. What can I do? How do I make it stop??
I can relate to this. I have no professional help whatsoever. Every time I ask questions like this I only get responses to go see an erp specialist. It sucks knowing I cannot do that. Some days are harder than others for me, but the only thing keeping me going is just continuing to fight. I know it’s so hard but usually at least for me, when I have my worst ocd days I usually have my best days following right after. So keep that in mind! What are some things you used to enjoy so much before your ocd took over?
I unfortunately understand what your going through. I was just telling my therapist how exhausting I am from feeling this way.
I relate to this a lot.
I relate as well unfortunately. Everything is so overwhelming
I relate to this it’s a really sucky and scary feeling. I have a problem where I’m scared of the future and living a long life possibly and was told to work on ways to stay in the present moment. I think that would be beneficial for you to work on ways to stay in the present and also maybe try “one-upping” the ocd if it says something like the rest of your life sucks then one up your ocd by saying something like “maybe life will suck, maybe I’ll get in a car crash, maybe the world will explode”. Also what helps me is thinking religiously that this isn’t forever and having that faith that everything happens for a reason and that one day when we are in heaven we can look back and know exactly why we have to suffer. Hope this stuff helps

I do understand your pain … it is very exhausting , I have intrusive random thoughts almost every 30 min. Mostly about contamination and doubting myself . Sometimes Just want to brake something or hit a wall so hard ! But ,then just breathe calm down let the thought in and let it stay , agree with it and it goes away … takes time , but thats the only way I can deal with it…
You will deal with it, you are stronger than that . We all are
I need a different perspective on this. I feel like I'm being run through the ringer. I'm doing what I can to avoid reassurance and not avoid triggers but I get triggered every day. I'm trying so hard to sit with the panic and the horror but it's so hard. It gets to the point I feel physically sick. Is there anything that I can do to help with this? I feel alone. I don't feel strong, I feel like a punching bag. Why is this so hard to master? I really want to know it gets easier. I've been suffering from POCD that has evolved and gotten worse and worse over the past eight months that has been torturing me multiple times on a daily basis and I feel like I'm drowning. I want to run away and hide because my life feel like it's seconds from being ruined. Please, please tell me this gets easier. That this ERP therapy will stop making me feel like I'm dying. The small moments of victory feel so brief only for me to get hit with another wave. There is so much uncertainty over such a horrific thing I feel ill. I feel afraid to be alone with my mind. Please if anyone out there can please give me tips on how to handle ERP. One moment I think I'm finally beating this thing and the next it's got me pinned and I'm terrified my life will be ruined. I want my peace back, I need help and I'm doing everything I can to resist compulsions but I feel so alone and dirty and disgusting. Please help me. Thank you for any advice 💕
Can anyone please confort me? I'm having a really bad panic attack, I can't stop crying and I feel like im losing my mind from the fear. I feel like maybe I should just go to the hospital because it feels so real
I am struggling so bad with relationship ocd. I am so scared and filled with anxiety. I just wanna talk to someone who also deals with this 😞
