Struggling with confidence and seeking support to overcome challenges.

😞

I feel so lacking in confidence, both in dealing with OCD and everything else in my life. So much has happened in the last few weeks, I just wanted to find a stable path but no one seems to believe I can do it. I'd like to get a job, have my own things, go out with friends, live my life, but it seems so difficult. Maybe I'm weak, but I've been through so much, I just wanted some victory

Fighting OCD makes you strong, not weak. Relax, take things one at a time, and everything will get better. In my experience going to the gym has really helped with my self-confidence, so maybe try that. You got this!

Success in life tends to ebb and flow, the key I think is to just keep going, and along the way enjoy when things are easier, and accept the challenge when things are harder. Over time, you can’t help but make progress!

Hey there, I just wanted to say that it's really brave of you to open up about your struggles like this 🙏. Everything you're going through is valid and while it might seem overwhelming, don't forget that it's okay to have ups and downs in your journey. You've been through a lot and it's completely normal to feel like you're looking for victories, big or small. You know, something that has personally helped me a lot when I'm struggling with OCD is this AI OCD therapy tool called "unstuck" (unstuckmyocd.com/try). I heard about it from my OCD support group and honestly, I wished I had known sooner. This tool might be exactly what you need to regain some confidence because it provides step-by-step, personalized support when the OCD gets difficult, very similar to an OCD therapist would. I believe you can find your stable path and this tool might be a stepping stone along that path. And remember, I'm here for you if you have any questions about the app or if you just want to chat more about what you're going through. Stay strong!💪

I feel like I’ve failed.

I asked for reassurance from the stranger I was having what if thoughts about. I feel crazy. I feel like I’ve failed, I couldn’t handle the unknown. I’ve been fighting so hard for no reason it feels like. I feel kinda gross too. Like asking for reassurance and going through all of this alone.. without my boyfriend knowing anything. He has no idea I struggle so badly. He has no idea of the panic attacks and how hard I’ve been fighting. I wish I could just be freaking normal. I’m 25 and have little to no mental stability when it comes to ocd. I feel like I could break in half at the drop of a needle.

Not doing great this morning

I see people living their lives and just enjoying themselves. Not taking things too seriously and not overly stressing. And then there’s me. Who stresses at the slightest thing. Whose OCD has taken massive chunks of my life that I’ll never get back. It feels like I’m going through life just terrified of my own f*cking shadow… Any small thing I have to deal with that to anyone else might just cause slight inconvenience or nervousness, causes me to have an almost complete and utter breakdown. WHY CANT I HANDLE LIFE. I am so ashamed of who I am. I want to be someone who is brave and courageous and who does things and lives life anyway, regardless of fear. But no. I avoid living because of it. Why am I even here if this is how my life is? What is the point? I’m going through it today, friends 😭

I’m losing everything

I feel like giving up. I don’t want to but it’s so hard and the only person that can make it better is me. But I’ve given up so many things that are important to me because of my OCD. I’ve isolated myself so much and given up on my dreams because of all this fear. Sometimes I feel like I need to protect everyone else from me and my doubts and insecurities. I feel like I’m hurting everyone or have the potential to let everyone down. I hate this.
