Needing encouragement

Hi friends, feeling (very) sad recently. I had a flare up recently and going through it is just really tough. I was in a decent place prior and I’ve lost my footing because of some stress amongst other things. But I guess I’m just looking for some encouragement, I’ve been feeling a little discouraged since the intrusive thoughts are a little more often. I know it’ll get better but it’s just been tough. Send love ❤️‍🩹

Right there with you. Had been doing a lot better since October. Therapy dug up a lot yesterday. Having a tough 36 hours. Exhausted. Discouraged. You’re not alone. Thanks for posting. Helps me to know I’m not alone. Remember, it can get better again. Do your practice & your script.

Remember ocd ebbs and flows. Some days it’ll be super easy to not let the thoughts take hold of you and other days they might drag you down. Healing is not linear. It’s okay to have a rough patch but just tell yourself you will bounce back. We all go through this but this doesn’t take away from all your progress! Hold your head up high and continue practicing erp and being patient and kind to yourself! Sending love and healing your way❤️

Setback

Hey all, just looking for some words of encouragement. I’ve been doing well with my OCD but I’ve had a trigger last weekend and have been sinking ever since. I had an awful night with almost no sleep and that’s just making me more anxious. I have a huge work thing next that I have no idea how I cope with without improving which as I’m sure you can imagine is adding to the pressure too. Thanks for reading, I’m sorry others are struggling with this it’s awful but it does help to know I’m not the only one.

Encouragement

Hey guys - I am currently in the midst of what is possibly the most difficult OCD attack I have battled thus far. Not sure what everyone else’s experience looks like with the diagnosis but I have extended periods of feeling rather well (with minor rituals and thought processes showing up) followed by some major event or trigger popping up that sends me into spirals that can last for months on end. There are days where I feel that I am unable to function as a normal human being (getting out of bed, taking care of my hygiene, going to work, feeding myself, etc.) I guess my point in posting while on the midst of a valley is just to get some encouragement that it is in fact possible to recover and that the suffering won’t be forever.
