Tired of caring?
Anyone here get tired of feeling hyper responsible and having to care about everything?

for sure. my ocd got so intrusive that i started to resent love ones around me for doing normal things because they were triggers for me. rn i’m in recovery after spending 3 years locked in my room tortured by my thoughts, and now that my ocd has subsided, I just don’t have motivation to use my brain much. Fatigue from the obsessive stress of OCD can be rlly damaging. OCD truly causes trauma and therefore creates trauma responses.

Everything triggers me and it sucks. I am my dad's caregiver now and that sucks because my harm OCD has always been about my parents. So I am dealing with the resentment thing big time and often I feel trapped with only one way out.

@JamesMY I really empathize with what your going thru and understand how suffocating and complicated ocd can be. knowing these thoughts are due to ocd is a huge first step, though! i know it can seem inescapable and suffocating, but ocd is very treatable. Please look into DBT and CBT methods online. Here are some links that can hopefully help. https://psychcentral.com/ocd/ocd-cycle https://www.therapistaid.com/therapy-guide/ocd-treatment-overview/cbt/adults

@JamesMY - Yes, I get angry at how ocd makes us feel responsible for every single thing, and I even feel bad saying that now because my ocd is saying I am responsible

@peachtea_ - Well I just feel like I have to worry about everything and be on alert. I don't feel like I have any feelings I just worry.

Extreme fatigue and lack of motivation
Does anyone feel like they are stuck in place? I haven’t done anything besides lay in bed on my phone (if I’m not at work) for almost a year now. I have the desire to go out and be a part of the world, but I feel like my body is glued to my bed. I can’t motivate myself to get out of pajamas to go anywhere, and the entire time I’m out (even just at the store) I just want to be home in bed. I mainly just DoorDash food now, when I can convince myself to eat. I’m tired.

You ever feel like you’re coming to the end?
Like your life is coming to an end and you just can’t keep going because no matter what you are alone and nothing works out except a minor few. Like what is the point of being here if no one even cares about you and just uses you to their advantage. I’m done. I fucking hate this world and all the people living in it.
