@zombye Maybe you need some compassion today, and also with yourself. Look at how good you’ve been doing, and you’re trying to do good. You’re human. Anything practical you can do right now my guy?

@graydust lemme think.. I guess I can try to eat soon. drink something. I need to take my meds when I can. I just wish any of that helped. exercise does help but when I get like this I get terrified of even moving. so if I can find some bravery I'll try. I'm not sure of much else tho

@zombye (Archery analogy) When you’re having a hard day, try to make your target big so you can hit it. When you’re having a great day, then sure your target can be small. Do you got lots of work today or is it a free day for you?

@graydust that's a good analogy. I've never heard of it before, I'll have to remember that one. free day. I had college but my grandma is terminal so they're giving me time off to be with her

@zombye Yeah, go chill out with your grandma like an absolute unit. Also, what are you thinking of making for breakfast (don’t know if it’s morning for you or not lol)

@graydust IT REALLY ISNT LIKE. waffle house is an American save point. ihop is a bit too bougie like it's a restaurant with a diner skin and it's not fooling anyone.

Some days will be difficult, just remember, this will pass. Have you tried the SOS feature on this app? It has been helpful for me.

Hang in there. Here is my strategy that I have been doing last few months: 1. Welcome thought (even if it’s terrible) 2. Sit with it and take deep breathes (don’t rush and be calm) 3. Return to your activity and tell thought you’re excited for next encounter (always focus on your victories and not your defeats)

I think my problem is I do the right things but rush sitting with it comfortably. I'll try to take it slower to get truly desensitized. I tend to be impatient

Hey - you aren’t alone. I am struggling too. ♥️ I feel like I am just punching the clock with OCD as this point.

I feel screwed
so its been three days now its it really bad, Im trying to just "tolerate and allow the feelings to be here for as long as it wants," not fixing it, not figuring it out, just allowing it to be a cloud raining on me while im doing my thing, but it doesnt work!! It gives me these intesne, loud, real feeelings that make me feel like i am gay and that I just need to accept it. Like its the hyperfocusing that I cant control that makes me focus on the feelings when im trying to do something else, allowing it to be there but still doing my own thing however Im still paying attention to the feeling, and the thoughts feel intense, and its like this ALLLL DAY, for three days straight. I dont know what to do anymore, because ERP doesnt seem to be working.

Just feeling tired
So over all of this. Why do periods have to make everything so much worse. I keep thinking that I can get over an intrusive thought and then the next one comes in. My brain tries to make be obsess over something that i've already obsessed about and moved on from. Wish this could be over.

It feels like my life is about to end
No I’m not attempting or anything. I am just really in a depressive state as of now. I am so convinced that my fear is real you don’t even know. I don’t know what to do. I just want to go to sleep and wake up in a reality where this is all gone. But honestly I don’t know if that would change anything. I’m scared that this is who I was all along, and I’ve just been delaying what I will eventually become. I don’t want to do ANYTHING that my intrusive thoughts say AT ALL. But honestly that doesn’t mean anything anymore. I’m so convinced of the thought “you’ve been doing it this whole time without realizing it.” I think it’s true now. I feel incredibly stuck. I just want to be hugged :(
