I hear you and feel this. Just know you are not alone and are loved. Its hard. I was feeling pretty depressed and down today at Church. I sat next to a girl who is 31 and she has 3 kids. She told me she has been diagnosed with an autoimmune disease which is attacking every part of her body. Even her muscles are pulling away from her shoulder. She has scar tissue all over her insides and is in constant pain. Everyday is hard for her. I told her about my struggles and she asked what she can do to help me. I started crying for her. My suggestion is call someone who is struggling right now or needs a friend. Try and focus on someone else for a bit. I do this once a day and it helps.

It really is a nightmare but remember they are just passing thoughts and not who you are. There is hope and help you just need to get with the right Dr or therapist and be honest about anything your feeling even if itâs uncomfortable and scary and have them help you figure out whatâs the best treatment plan.

I feel like thereâs no way out of this. everyday iâm anxious and depressed from these thoughts. i feel like i have to constantly question if itâs OCD or not. the panic attacks are insane and i freak out. and a compulsion i have is looking eveything up on the internet when im stressing to know that itâs just my OCD and im not in danger. but looking things up add on to my thoughts and i start thinking âwhat ifâ actual suidcal people think. do others with this theme whenever they do something like if im taking a picture itâll be like âyeah you look happy people will wonder what happened when your goneâ LIKE i DO NOT want to end my life. or even as simple as cleaning my room, âyup keep it clean so when your family goes through your stuffâ then i panic and canât even do anything. those thoughts distress me so bad. iâll sit there and think how good my life is or when im having a good day my thoughts will be like âNOPEEE what if your just saying that to convince yourselfâ it never shuts up and genuinely makes me think i have SI or something. i hope this reaches the right people just to know im not alone. Even when i do get better in the back of my mind itâs always âpeople who want to are the same a day before tooâ im genuinely scared and im scared one day im going to just snap and do it because its âtoo muchâ do i need to go to a mental hospital! i feel insane.

I can't stop thinking about ending my life. I feel like I'm not even living, I'm just surviving. Everyone is capable of being a person and functioning and I'm just stuck here avoiding everything. My psychiatrist said my ocd is severe and it will all take time and I'll start erp and I'm already on medication but I just feel so depressed and like I won't be able to handle erp and it's already too late for me. I feel inhuman, it's debilitating. My major theme is just fear or contamination, I can't even make myself a meal I can't touch anything in the kitchen. I get stuck in the shower for 2 hours and when I don't shower because I'm depressed I feel like a walking germ. My hands are a mess, my school work is shit, I avoid and avoid and I'm just so tired of "living" like this. My psychiatrist said they don't have any therapists available right now like.... excuse me? What do you mean u don't have any đ I honestly don't even know why I'm typing this becuase nothing helps, nothing ever will. I'm so deep into this I can't get out, my room looks like shit, I can't live in this body anymore, I really can't. I let everyone down, I am and will be such a dissapointment. I don't have any dreams or goals or passions I just wasn't made to be here. I don't know how or who to ask for help like there's nothing anyone can do, I'm already on meds. I can't keep being like this, seeing everyone judge me for acting insane.

I can't live with OCD anymore. It's ruining my life. I feel like I'm being constantly bullied in my own mind all day everyday. I don't know if what I think and feel is ever real or normal or okay, what is me and what is the OCD thoughts. I don't know if any of my experiences are normal. I'm exhausted from picking apart every single conversation I ever have with anyone until I'm strung out by a vague and ambiguous feeling of guilt. I'm tired of feeling like I'm a bad person and feeling scared all the time and not knowing why and having my brain spin me out on an endless spiralling train of thoughts that never goes anywhere and just makes me feel disconnected from everything and everyone around me. I don't know what I feel and if what I feel is normal or if anything I am doing is real and actually me or if I'm 'losing my mind.' I don't even know if this makes any sense. I get into these states of mind where every thought in my head and everything I feel and perceive makes me question my own sanity. I don't know if anyone likes me because I have absolutely no concept of what I am actually like. I feel completely lost and confused CONSTANTLY.
