I actually left my parents house earlier than I wanted to today because my OCD was flaring up and I didn’t feel like I was enjoying my time w them and just wanted to be alone. You’re not alone in that

Don’t worry. Everyone is struggling their own battles. If you couldn’t enjoy time with your family today there will be many more days. It comes and goes for me as well. You got this!

i completely understand, i think the new year affects it a lot too honestly and im not sure why. it’s good to acknowledge that it is in your head- it’s just thoughts! you are not your thoughts! you’re just the observer of them. unfortunately we can’t and shouldn’t try to control these thoughts, but we can control how we react to them and how we allow them to make us feel. its not easy, but i’m proud of you!

Not doing great
TW I’m feeling really bad about myself today. I feel like a fraud and a liar. I’ve been unable to enjoy my time with my girlfriend because I’m bombarded with my thoughts. I’ve been asking for reassurance from so many people and nothing is helping. Nothing makes me feel better anymore and I’m worried that this is just how it’s going to be for forever. I miss when I could just be happy and not overthink so much. I miss being able to get through my days without this crippling anxiety. I’m worried there’s going to be a day where I realize I have no fight left in me

backpedaling
just when I think i’m having a good weekend and I can forget about my struggles my brain tells me i’m not allowed to feel happy and that there’s always SOMETHING i need to be worrying about. so frustrating :(

Rough day
I have hold back my tears . I’m trying so hard to play it off. I can’t think about it anything without on the verge of falling apart . I have no self control over my mind . I’m scared. Is this a psychosis . I have barely eaten in days . My stomach is growling but I have no appetite. Idk what’s going on . Normally if I have a rough week I can fight it but I can’t fight it this time. My biggest fear is loosing my bf. I’m spending the day with him and all I can do it think about what’s gonna happen when I leave .
