Today I turn 51, and I'm so tired not from work family or the news. I'm tired of living like this Not saying I'm gonna off myself please don't get me wrong and I don't want to upset anyone. I'm just tired and if I don't wake up tomorrow that'd be ok. Does anyone else feel like this?
Life can be so hard. I think we are living in trying and stressful times. I hope you realize that life is hard at times, you are not alone and what I try and always remember is that it will not always feel this way- the way it feels in this moment. Tomorrow is a new day, and seasons are always changing.
Yes. Absolutely yes. Sometimes it is SO exhausting doing this work over and over and over every day, watching everyone else seemingly flow through life. I’ve definitely gotten to points where I just didn’t want to exist anymore—not in a suicidal way either but more just… poof. Disappear, cease to exist! I told my partner how I was feeling, too. That was a couple weeks ago, and things are way better now. Hang tight, keep going, and take a nap every so often if you need to! Sometimes some rest or a healthy escape like art, music, games, a book or a movie can go a long way. Time with our safe loved ones does too. Happy birthday, and we are all right there with you❤️
Samee. I don't want to get non existent by that way... But in a way i just get vanished unfortunately which is not possible :(
@Have Some Chocolate 🍫 Or at least just hit the pause button!!! Please!!!
I’m 46 and I get what you’re saying!! I am focusing today on the ERP skills I’ve been learning - not just to practice them, but to remind myself that there are more skills I will learn that will help me. I hope your birthday is gentle on you. Do have anything special planned to honor your latest trip around the Sun?
Not really maybe a walk in the park
Happy Birthday, i also feel like you and I'm a Teenager Life can get better, hang on there
Happy Birthday! Life can be really tough especially when dealing with OCD. I have felt the same as you right now. Not really enjoying life and just completely exhausted. It’s okay to take a break from things for awhile. Take a break from the news. Instead watch your favorite show. Treat yourself. Go get your favorite food for dinner. The person we will be spending the most time with in this life is with ourselves. So we might as well treat ourselves well!
Thank you
Thanks
Happy Birthday! 🎉 I completely understand, OCD is a painful disorder to live with. There are good days and bad days so the pain is only temporary. Healing is a long journey but don’t let that discourage you; life will get better with time and practicing ERP. Stay strong ❤️🩹
Thank you
Thanks Stacy
Happy birthday! 🎉🎈🎂🎊🎁 Yes, I can relate completely, but I’m a firm believer that as long as you’re alive, there’s opportunity to get better. I’ve seen so many miracles within my own circle that it’s hard not to believe it. Our brains like to mess with us sometimes and discourage us. Sending hugs 🤗
Thank you
does anyone else feel like they’re simply existing? i cant describe how im feeling. it’s not like i want to die, but i’m just at a crossroads. while i’m so blessed for this life i’ve been given, i find it tough to get ti the end of the day. i just go through periods where i don’t feel like myself. almost like another person inside of my body.
It’s so exhausting. I’d sob but I’m too mentally tired and I don’t want to upset my husband who’s lying beside me.
