This was me last week! I was having really depressing thoughts, and I could not stop ruminating about them and worrying that they were reflective of my true beliefs. I was also scared that I was in the beginning stages of clinical depression. I didn't feel like myself, and my anxiety was very active. I'm feeling a little better this week. I can't say that I did one particular thing to help, other than ride out the wave. I also made sure to get outside and walk every day and spend some time with people I love.

Can I just say that having depression with OCD is like usually 100% the case just from having OCD and not from some chemical imbalance? When OCD takes over your life for a long time or in an extreme way, and you try and get help but do not get it or you receive the wrong help, or maybe things get worse for whatever else reason, then it is pretty logical to feel that way. Having OCD IS a depressing thing honestly

(I mean in most cases btw, sometimes it's not like that and people can get depression for other reasons, non related to OCD or they had it before the onset of OCD, but from all the people I have talked to this seems to be rare and usually it's not the case)

@chellie I agree, my ocd causes me depression. I do not have a very traumatic past or anything that would lead me to feel this way - it’s strictly from my OCD. especially bc of my ROCD and harm ocd...it’s annoying and stressful

Myself
I feel like I’ve lost who I am , even since my depression and ocd started. I don’t even know what I like anymore:(( I doubt everything I think and it’s so draining because I just want to feel like my old self again😭 I feel like I have no motivation to get better which is bothering me so much because I want too but something is holding me back from doing what I need to do :/ with all my thoughts and doubts , I feel like I can’t trust myself . I don’t know if I’m the only one that feels this much pain

Not feeling like myself
Lately I just feel like I’m on the verge of losing it and I don’t know why. I feel so uncomfortable in my own body. Physically and mentally. Not due to insecurity but just that something isn’t right… I never feel good, I’m always fatigued, my head hurts all the time, but my blood work comes back fine so doctor’s will do nothing. I have anxiety and panic attacks and recently I guess depression since I’m always down. I have relationship OCD so my partner deals with me not being sure of him constantly and it breaks my heart. I don’t want to leave him because he’s great but half the time my brain is telling me he isn’t the one. I keep counting as well, constantly counting every letter in every word and every word in every sentence… it just feels like I’m gonna go insane one of these days and I’m scared. When I talk to someone about this, they have no clue what to tell me or how to help. Am I alone in feeling this way??
