You’re not alone, it’s exhausting, we will make it.
I fully understand how you feel. I can bear witness to the fact that you can get your life back. OCD can be beaten. I have been with NOCD for 1 1/2 years and the counseling I have gotten from them has been a huge help. I’m 62 and I’ve had OCD since my 20’s. So I feed OCD for forty years not knowing what it was. Then it skyrocketed 2 years ago and that was when I started with NOCD. One thing I have found helpful is OCD has only one weapon. Doubt. It just takes all different forms such as “was there germs on the door knob?” “Did I just hit someone with my car?” Am I …”. It’s all doubt or “What if”. I would recommend the free 15 min. call tom NOCD. They can help you to begin the journey of recovery. The only difference between me and you is what triggers us. I know you can say “No” to OCD 👍.
That's honestly uplifting cause I felt I'd be stuck this way forever. Thank you

Currently crying right now after my shift at work. OCD is transitioning myself into someone I don’t want to be, yet I’m afraid to not have it in my life because when things are feeling okay, it doesn’t feel right, even when I should crave it more than anything. I don’t know what to do anymore. I feel life won’t go my way or I don’t see myself being in a good place. I just see myself losing everything I love and care about because either ocd has caused me to distance myself from those things or others just decide to separate themselves from me. At the end of the day, I’m going to end up alone and miserable, and I don’t know why I’m okay with that, but I am. I’m so frustrated with myself and conflicted. Fuck this. I have so much more life ahead of me and I fucken feel stuck and crippled bc of ocd. A 21 year old shouldn’t have to go through this. NO ONE SHOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH ANYTHING NEGATIVE OR HARMFUL. I’m tired of all the bad. I want more good… I want to be better… I want to be me again. I want to love life, others and myself again.
I want to beat OCD/GAD? because I'm tired of being this shell of my former self. My brain has been hollowed out by the chainsaw of fears while my body remains fixed in place, unable to run. I once loved to sing and write. I once remembered conversations with others. I once was actually able to hold them myself. Now, I can barely complete coherent sentences without my thoughts veering off. My OCD leaves me exhausted. It's so hard to feel rested when you think something awful is going to happen all the time. I have started to affectionately call it Chicken Little Syndrome. However, it doesn't deserve any affection. I am supposed to be savoring the little songs my toddler sings or the jokes my husband cracks, but I am worrying about making ends meet or about inadvertently not being able to help my patients. Why did I have such issues with time management last shift? Why couldn't I focus on other simple tasks? People have shown me so much love and I can't even think of the proper way to respond, nevermind coming up with something clever, eloquent, or creative. I am a shell. A chainsaw of fear. My family is so good. They deserve to have me back.
I wish I didn’t have this disorder it lost the will to live I don’t want to do it anymore my life is too hard to fix
