That is how I felt for a very very long time! It got to the point where I didn’t do anything for myself and I didn’t better my future and now I regret it all but now I am in therapy and I’m learning to create a safe space wishing myself to allow myself to figure out these feelings and remind myself they are feelings and to take the lessons from these feelings instead of making decisions based off these feelings….it’s hard and it’s a long recovery but it’s so worth it. I hope you find the peace and help you deserve and know that these feelings are uncomfortable and that they should not be normalized in your every day life. You deserve more than what you give to yourself! You are worthy of anything and everything

@Audrey/33 Well I still feel like that at times. It takes a lot of therapy, self compassion, and patience. It also helps if you have a great support system and ppl you feel safe around. It took me a long time to get the help I needed but I am finally going to therapy. There aren’t really steps I mean there are but everyone’s steps are different. And for me, I learn the steps as I go. But the very first step really in everyone’s case too is realizing that you need help and then finding how to get help

Thanks for sharing, Audrey. I commend you for taking the steps to get help. It's not easy. ERP is not easy either but it is doable and it is the current best method for managing OCD. The keyword there is managing because unfortunately OCD is for life but we are able to manage it and live peacefully and do the things we want to do in life. There is no set time limit for how long it takes to feel that you are doing better and OCD waxes and wanes at different times so just keep at it and you'll get to a better place. I just know it :)

@Audrey/33 I totally get that and it's sadly very common but there is hope and real life experiences that you can manage it and get to a better place sustainably :)

Don’t know how to feel anymore. I went to my 1st prenatal appt today to confirm the pregnancy. I saw the heartbeat and saw the fetus and sac and everything. Fetus has a good heartbeat all looks well. I got sad and tears eyed when I saw the ultrasound because I feel like a sad, lost and confused soul. I didn’t feel maternal when I saw the ultrasound. The dr asked if I even wanted to see and hear the heartbeat since I told her I want sure if I wanted to continue with it. I insisted . She did prescribe Zoloft in a higher dose than I had before which I think was 50mg. I have another appt next week to make my decision. Otherwise if I continue with the pregnancy my next prenatal would be in 12 weeks(I’m apparently 7 weeks 1 day.) My thoughts which had subsided and weren’t causing me as much stress anymore started ruminating again. Telling myself I can’t live with uncertainties not when it comes to bringing a child into this world and even without the thoughts I feel as if I just don’t see myself being a mother and doing the whole mother thing. I was thinking “ maybe if it’s a boy I’ll keep it, but I can’t have a girl” who thinks like this?? Then this morning before my appt I really started thinking like “ doesn’t matter what the gender is ... what if you’re attracted to your child or abuse them eventually because the thoughts won’t ever end. To make matters worse by bf seems to think I’m gonna go through with the pregnancy , sees it as a fur sure thing and asks everyday if I’ve take my prenatals and stuff. I feel so sad as a human being. The whole country seems to be focused on the elections and the pandemic and I’m Worried about my thoughts, being a “ P” feeling like I am one. There’s a battle /war in my head about keeping or terminating. I’m just trying to be a “ normal” person and live a day at a time. I wish I had none of these worries.

Some days I just feel weird. Life feels weird. I think it happens when I over think what I’m doing too much. It feels like I’m on the brink of a panic attack but I don’t know why. It’s a very weird feeling.
