Does anybody need/wish to talk?

If anyone has anything they want to talk about, or if you'd like to vent/talk about anything, or if you just want to chat, or anything, I'd love to listen! :) If you need something specific out of a conversation (i.e. you just want me to listen and don't want me to comment or give my opinions or thoughts), let me know and I'd be happy to oblige! And, of course, I'm no therapist. Just thought I'd give that disclaimer. Also, if I respond in a way that seems like the conversation would logically be over but you still want to talk, I'll still be ready to listen! Sometimes I don't have a bunch to comment, but I'll listen for as long as you want to talk! And here's a fire for a fireside chat if you want 🪑🔥🪑🛋 Love you guys!

I feel like my OCD isn’t valid when I am medicated because my symptoms get better. It makes me feel like I’m faking it and tricking my psychiatrist. I don’t know how to stop my obsessions surrounding my diagnosis. You don’t have to respond just a random vent lol

I understand where you're coming from, and I get the same way. It is super hard to try to treat OCD when it's feeling so invalidated, and I hate that whole situation

@chameleon7 Hey, at least the meds are helping you! So happy they are.

@helpneeded True, at least they are helping. But I can definitely understand how that might make it feel invalidated and give you distress.

I’m exhausted from this disease. It’s so lonely and isolating. I can’t work anymore and depend on my parents. I’m 38 and have a son that needs me, but I’m always in my head. I’m too poor to afford proper treatment and I do have public aid, but I feel like even with all the money in the world nothing will help me and I hate this.

I'm sorry. I hear you. I don't feel like I will heal either. It's all so hard...

@Anonymous It’s just non stop. Now that I hurt my back at work I can’t even go for walks and I’ve become afraid to leave the house and the walls close in on me. It’s not a good quality of life. So I have to reapply for disability and just sit in my head all day. I’m sorry for all of us that go through this.

@Everythingzen That sounds pretty rough. I'm sorry you're going through that. I hope that your back gets well soon. I don't want to sound like I'm "trying to fix" your problems instead of listening to and supporting you, but if I may make some recommendations, have you thought of trying to join a club/support group and/or make plans to meet friends and family? Again, I'm not trying to "fix your issues", and I hope I don't come across that way. Your problems are understandable to me. I do hope that you and I heal mentally too

Honestly I’m so frustrated because things were going really well for me the last few months, but I’m recently getting OCD flare ups that throw my world upside down and it feels like all my progress has been lost. I hate how recovery is just one scary roller coaster with lots of loops and drops.

I'm going through something similar. I wish progress was linear, but the path goes through hills and valleys.

Appreciate you for this one, I’m here for you too 🫶 OCD is so tiring and sleep is the only working escape for me now. I just wanna lie down, close my eyes, and feel safe

Yeah, I understand what that feels like. It's terrible. I wish that things felt better to me, you know?
