I’m not sure about you, but I’m perfectionistic by nature and tend to put a lot of pressure on getting straight A’s etc. But recently I’ve seriously had to come to terms with the fact that school isn’t everything. Your health is your priority. Try your hardest, but don’t be afraid to ask for help or take a break. School is a tough place to be in general, let alone while you’re battling a mental illness. I also try really hard not to compare myself to other, no one else is fighting with their sanity everyday like I have been so it’s pointless. Look after yourself. School matters but not as much as you do. Trying your best is all that matters! d a i s y

What I wish I had known is that people say that high school is the best time of your life but that is complete BS. Your life is a series of ups and downs and there are constant trade offs. The people who seem to have perfect lives now are probably struggling with something you don’t know about. Treat yourself with compassion and try your best not to make comparisons because you do not see the whole picture of their lives like you do with yours. Everyone has unique struggles and you cannot compare yourself to others who don’t have the same burdens.

Advice on getting by?
Hi! I’m new to the NOCD community, but I’ve been dealing with OCD since I was 12. I’m almost 29 now, and my biggest issue is health anxiety. It’s gotten to the point where getting work done is nearly impossible because i can’t stop spiraling. I’m lucky that i work remotely, but also makes it easier to be in my own head… Asking for advice - how do you all deal with the intense anxiety and are able to make it through a 9-5 work day? Any suggestions on how I can actually be productive? Thank you!

Advice please ❤️
Hi ❤️ I’m really struggling right now I’m in my sophomore year of Highschool and I’ve finally started planning or thinking abt my future (for context I was extremely depressed and suicidal from 6-9th grade) After conquering my depression this is a huge leap for me and I’m proud of myself ❤️ But there’s something still holding me down :( and I’m not sure what to do anymore that thing is OCD. Since 6th grade I have had strong and invasive intrusive thoughts all the time they scare me so bad and make me feel as though I’m not even real anymore :( I’m sick of taking the time to do ridiculous compulsions to rid or ease these thoughts it’s a waste of time and energy and it hurts me so bad I feel like I will never get to just live my life without this :( How can I plan my future when I can’t even find myself in this mess of anxiety 💔 I’m so tired of fighting my mental health it’s been years from anxiety attacks to sh to survived suicide attempts (I got help dw❤️🩹) and recovery there. Just to be thrown into a storm of awful scary sickening thoughts day and night-when can I just be a normal teenager and possibly a happy adult? How do I conquer this so I can love myself to the fullest and live my life free and happy? :( ❤️❤️🩹 I’m so scared to talk to my parents about it I’m ashamed of my thoughts and every time I bring it up they just say I shouldn’t be diagnosing myself or it’s just ADHD. It really really hurts me they have no idea how awful this feels and it makes me feel so alone sometimes 💔
