Hi there :( I’m so sorry to hear that you’ve been feeling this way. I was in the same boat as well, hoping I’d wake up from the nightmare that is OCD. It felt like life would never be the same, but the reality is not the case. I believe in your healing journey. Please let me know if you need an ear for you to vent out your feelings, and thank you for your vulnerability in sharing these feelings. It is the first baby step — letting others know how you feel.

@LyssLove Being on this app and attending one of the workshops helped me break misconceptions about ocd. I think naturally with time, I separated my ocd voice from my actual thoughts and beliefs. I read a book called the Untethered Soul that really helped me understand that I’m not my thoughts! Books helped me a lot in my journey towards healing while I was preparing to be ready for therapy. The best I would recommend is to continue ERP and investing in therapy if possible, since licensed professionals know how to handle ocd best. (All the things I listed above are just supplemental to therapy, not replacements) I would also encourage you to attend local events in which you could meet new people who share similar interests to you. I believe in you, even if it feels scary and difficult to do, I know you can do it. It just takes baby steps and time. Wishing you well!

Thanks for being so vulnerable with us... It seems like you are in the pursuit of being happy and people have failed you before. Its a tough lesson to learn tho that we must learn to be happy with ourselves first. Then whatever joy other people in our life brings is just adding to it, and if they leave your life you know itll suck but you also know you can be happy alone. But for us with ocd its a rough road we just have to fight a harder than others to be in a better headspace. I know one day youll feel that happiness youre searching for and wouldnt even realize it. You got this
