Feeling hopeless
I feel so hopeless and alone right now. Even seeking therapy seems like a waste of time for me. Im just so tired of battling with my mind everyday and having not much of a support system. I just want to stay in bed and not do anything because even getting through the day feels so hard sometimes.
I completely understand. Just know you are not alone and u can comment back and you have support! Ocd is such a overwhelming thing sometimes where everything is so hard that all u wanna do is stay still. But please know you aren’t alone. I hope u start feeling better!<3
Thanks that's very sweet of you
You are not alone, I promise. Some days I wake up and feel scared for no reason and that I cannot push through. I’m surrounded by family who don’t understand OCD, and that is an incredibly isolating thing. It helps to find things to look forward to, or just treat yourself to something nice because you really do deserve it. Once you improve, and you will improve, you will be able to look back and tell yourself that you were able to get through this dark time. I believe in you.
hey there, i really feel you. the exhaustion that comes with fighting your own mind every day is just so draining, and it's even tougher when it feels like you're doing it solo. i've got pure o, and even though our obsessions might be different, that relentless tug-of-war with our thoughts? totally get it. i'm here to listen anytime you need to vent or just talk about what you're going through. 🖤 i wanna share something with you – my therapist recommended this FREE AI tool called "unstuck" (www.AIOCDtool.com), and honestly, it might be a good fit for those moments when you're feeling overwhelmed. it's like having a mini-therapist in your pocket, guiding you through the tough spots just like an OCD specialist would. you just type in what's bugging you and it'll walk you through steps to help you get, well, unstuck. i usually roll my eyes at app promotions, but this isn't that. it's been a game-changer for me, and i really hope it can offer you some relief too. not pushing, just sharing something that's made a difference in my life. hit me up if you've got questions or wanna chat about it. hang in there, we're in this together.
*venting* I’m so tired of life. I just woke up, and I feel like going back to bed and sleep until this nightmare passes. This week has been one of the hardest of my life. I don’t think I can face another day of intrusive thoughts, fear, anxiety. I need some moments of relief, but there are none. I wanna have a life again. Anxiety and obsessive thoughts have killed my social life, my ambitions and desires, my happiness. I’ve been fighting for the past 6 months for nothing. I don’t see any improvement. I’m on day 3 of Lexapro and of course i can’t tell if it’s gonna work for me or not. I’m on the first stages of ERP therapy and I still haven’t got any assigned homework to work on, which I really need because I need to feel like I’m doing SOMETHING to help myself with ocd and Gad. I just hope someone could just take out whatever part of my brain isn’t working properly and replace it with a new piece. I don’t wanna feel like a burden to my family or boyfriend anymore. I can’t believe all the damage that I’m causing. I don’t know what to do with all this self hate. I don’t know where to turn to. I seem to have all the help that one could need - therapy, medication, support system. Yet I feel like I can’t spend another day living like this.
I have never dealt with severe depression like this, I feel really hopeless and scared, I can't imagine a future out of all my mental health issues and I can't imagine being healthy and happy. The last 3/4 years I feel like I've done nothing but avoid things that are challenging and his at home every day because of my mental health and now it's all hitting me so hard that I'm so unhappy with my life and ick how to push through feeling so bad I can't even eat. I don’t even feel like I want to hurt myself but my will to live also feels so low. I hate feeling like I’m so trapped in a mental health cycle that nothing can break it
i have been struggling recently with the feeling and thought that its all just hopeless, that i will forever be in this state. When i hear people saying things i have previously believed, i just dont believe it anymore, i feel like i know everything about the brain and how it all works, and i am tired of trying things that i do not believe in. i dont know, im just do freaking tired of feeling like i know how my own brain works its honestly so disgusting i dont like losing hope and just falling into this pit of darkness and hopelessness, i just want to believe in something and trust something, but ive just found that nothing seems like something i can believe or trust in, and thats just so freaking scary and again gives me less hope
