Feeling very hopeless
I am generally optimistic about my OCD recovery but today I am feeling very hopeless. It feels like I may never recover from it and that it’s a life long punishment.

I can relate to your thoughts of never recovering and life punishment. Sends me into depression and the why me mind set. I'm sorry I don't have any advice other than try to do the opposite of how your feeling. That's what was suggested to me last session. I struggle with my emotions. If you're feeling down look at things in a positive way. In your case try to find all the positives to look forward to. Easier said than done I know when you have negative feelings.

I think we all fall prey to the doom and exhaustion that ocd brings from time to time. It’s the nature of the beast and we are only human!! BIG HUGS AND LOVE TO ALL MY FELLOW OCDers out there!!!! We are blessed to have each other to lean on!! 🥳😍

I feel so awful and ungrateful. My partner and I are moving to a new place for which we worked very hard. There were lots of tears and sweat. Instead of being excited and grateful, here I am making it about my stupid thoughts. I guess the big move has triggered my anxiety. I don’t know what to do or how I deal with it.

Hopeless
I just don’t know how much more of this I can take. I’m so fed up of the way my OCD makes me feel, plagued with thoughts that I hate my son, I don’t love my partner, I want to die, my life is pointless. I’m trying so hard, I’m doin ERP, I’m trying to carry on my life as normal but I just feel SO depressed. I am convinced that I am stuck like this forever now, clearly nothing is working and I’m just ready to give up 😢

Hopelessness
I get pretty intense feelings of hopelessness because I crave peace. But obv it feels unattainable with OCD when the theme’s always change. I started ERP, and to think about doing this forever has me mentally tired. How do I combat this negative feeling? All I want is to feel peace, and not like I’ll never feel ok

Losing hope
Am I the only one who is losing hope for healing from ocd? I was always really hopeful about it and thought that I will recover soon but now I had ocd for so long (4 years) already and even though I noticed changes they were not the biggest. About half a year ago I had suicidal thoughts and I feel them coming back. I don’t know if that’s normal or I might just have depression? Anyways, I’m just so sick of my ocd if someone has advice for staying hopeful or if someone just have any quotes or something that makes them stay motivated that would be great! ❤️✨🌧️
