It’s not about the job. It’s about the “snowball effect” everything has been slowly piling up to the point where it’s out of control. You can take that control back. That’s your decision. That’s your choice. Keep paddling against the current and keep fighting the rapids or go in a different direction. Take baby steps and change the habits. Spend your time and energy on YOU. Get to bed on time, limit drinking, get up early exercise and spend time getting ready. Get to work 10 mins. early for YOU. Stay positive and happy for your well being!

I’ve tried to apply for jobs and it always seems futile when o hear nothing back. I’m tempted daily to just get up leave and never return. I see no other way out

Why not improve yourself first and then quit the job. Make a plan and follow it. There’s no easy answer or solution, but you can always better yourself and your outlook on things.

Most jobs are soul sucking, but we need them to support our lives outside of the office. What can you do to improve your life outside of it all? Reinvest in old hobbies? Find new ones? Reconnect with friends? Make new ones? Redecorate? Fix this up? During your work day, try practicing mindfulness. If you can plug into some headphones a few minutes a day you can even do guided meditations with the Stop, Breath & Think app. You can also do something on the side to build new skills that could take you to a new job. This could be night classes, online classes, or self taught skills.

At this point I think I’m just tired. Took me a massive amount of strength to even type this. I’ve never had it this bad with anxiety depression and OCD. Firstly, how do you guys handle the trauma that comes with OCD. I recently realized Ive traumatized by own mind. I think this contributes to depression. Also, the thoughts frequency have gotten so high. It just literally jams its self in my brain. Before, I had some sort of control (at least a grip) but this days it’s so hard to try to get a grip. The unwanted feelings too? Omg, reactions that I literally can’t stand plagues me. My mind turns almost everything sexual. It’s crazy 🙃 Then the anxietyyyyyy! Wheew. I’m like a walking anxiety attack, my heart is always beating fast and it’s so painful. Working is so hard because I can’t get a grip, I feel so broken and I don’t think anyone can relate to this. I don’t know what I can do to help. Then the pressure in my head (that causes headache sometimes), sometimes I genuinely think I have a tumor! I’m pregnant so that makes it sadder, makes me wonder what kind of mother this beautiful soul is coming out here to meet. I don’t want to be a sad mother, and I cry more when I realize my child can feel what I feel rn in my belly😔. Another thing, the moment I don’t wanna do something, doesn’t even have to be anything bad. That’s when it feels my mind wants to force me to do it. It’s a whole lot and I’m just holding on to Jesus to help me out. At least he’s here so that’s comforting.

Today my mom broke down crying because of how much stress she feels having to take care of me, she said I can’t do anything in terms of being able to take care of myself and she’s right I can’t, she breaks down constantly because of me, I don’t know what to do, it’s been like this for years, part of me feels like the only way to save her is to kill myself, I don’t want to die, but it feels like the only way to set her free, I don’t think anyone but her would miss me anyways, I feel utterly hopeless. I’m not going to do anything to myself the voices are just SCREAMING that I need to. I can’t work, I can’t go to school, I’m trying desperately to get therapy, I don’t know what else to do, I wish I was a child again and I felt like I had a chance to be okay. I love my mom so much and she loves me and I’m killing her, I’m actually killing her, with how fuckinh worthless and pathetic I am, it’s too much, I miss being a kid.
