That's how I feel too, if you need to talk you can talk to meee
If only I could just say "stop" a million times without looking like my mind had snapped (which I think it had already), I would've done so already. At least, that's how it felt. Part of the symptoms is feeling like there is no end, every time you think, "I'm going to be fine, I'm finally going to be free," no, it just doesn't happen and probably makes it worse. So, after years of worry after worry, I've come to understand that the worry doesn't go away, but just because it doesn't go away means it's bad for you - it's attaching that" bad meaning" and the "I should not be worried about this, this is so weird" is what makes it pervasive.
So much of conquering this illness is accepting this is how your mind works but trying not to attach meaning to that and moving forward in spite of your feelings. Everything I have seen seems to point to learning to accept these thoughts but pushing through them which eventually makes them less painful and eventually they fade out of mind. It’s hard because you cannot think about them fading you just need to practice accepting them and then eventually they fade on their own. You can do it! Recovery is possible for each and every one of us! Just keep trying to accept the thoughts and not assign meaning!

my ocd is got worse again and school starts in 2 days which is gonna make things difficult for me. i am just so fucking frustrated and tired. i tried to resist the urge to go on this app bc i feel like it’s reassurance but i just have to rant. i have been fighting for so long and i feel like this is never going to end. i’ve been rly trying. earlier this month i thought i was getting better but it just went to shit again. i feel so guilty and disgusted w my ocd obsession like why did it have to be those type of intrusive thoughts. like why me. ocd is literally the worst and sometimes i just feel hopeless.
i want some motivation 😭😭 im so sad i dont wanna live w ocd forever😭 i just wanna be happy
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??
