Rough day

Today and yesterday were some of my hardest days in recent memory. I had therapy today and I’m not sure if it made things better or worse. Today I’m struggling with what is and isn’t ocd. Im also exhausted because I got a terrible nights sleep last night from anxiety, and Im sure the compounded exhaustion is making it all worse. I would love if anyone could share what they did today, whether it be good or bad because I love finding support and comfort within this community. Hope y’all are doing better.

Today was my first day back at work and it went by really fast which was nice, i honestly felt like I could’ve stayed late if I wanted to. I was exhausted when I came home and has a little bit of an emotional breakdown but that’s been a constant these past few weeks. I’m sorry your day was difficult I hope things get better

Today was my first day outside since Wednesday. My friend is visiting from New York and I was going to skip lunch with her and my sister. It was scary going outside and triggering seeing the tv screen. But I’m proud of myself for interacting with society rather than isolating myself.

I understand rough days, believe me. ~ I was pretty busy at work because my coworkers were staring in to space and scrolling their phone. I’m glad I was busy, but it irritates me when others don’t pull their weight. My anxiety was not too bad. I had my moments. It rained most of day here. But I really don’t have a connection to those people and I’m new, 2 months new. We’ll see…..Everyday is a journey.

hey there, i'm really sorry to hear that you've had such tough days. it sounds incredibly draining to juggle therapy uncertainties on top of sleepless nights. sending you strength and hoping you find some moments of calm soon. 🌟 i've been right where you are, and what really helped me was this free AI OCD therapy tool called "unstuck" ([www.keepunstuck.com/try](http://www.keepunstuck.com/try)) that my OCD therapist recommended. it'll be especially helpful for you because it can give you personalized support in those moments when you're trying to figure out what's OCD and what's not, just like an ERP therapist would. i hate when people promote stuff, but i really think it can help you because it's changed my life. lmk if you have Qs or just want to talk more! <3

Anyone with ROCD.. would love to chat. I’ve had a tough day. I didn’t bring up my irrational thought of the day to my boyfriend which is a win but I’ve been struggling all day and in a sour mood. These thoughts are untrue, but yet they scare me so bad and they make me mad/upset. It’s hard for me to control my emotions.

Not to be negative, but today was a really, really rough day. I couldn’t fall asleep till 4 am because of obsessive thoughts last night, and woke up with bad things on my mind. Laid on the couch from 11-5, had a mental breakdown for which I probably would’ve been hospitalized if the coronavirus didn’t scare my parents. I feel like I’ve had so much stress from OCD that my brain just gave up on me today, and I feel like I can’t find my personality or sense of self. I truly feel like something inside me died today, and I’m worried I won’t ever be the same. Does anyone have any experience with this feeling, or have the slightest idea what I should do?

Lack of sleep leading to more OCD symptoms

Wow - last night I had a terrible night of sleep and the OCD symptoms today are really strong and harder to deal with than normal. For those who have experience in preventing response to exposure, I could use some encouragement (not reassurance) today. How did you get through your hardest days during recovery?
