Overwhelmed

That's normal, ocd can be extremely mentally exhausting which makes it really hard to complete normal tasks, it will always make you feel better if you complete even one task 🩷

Mine has mangled my energy today, honestly all week. But keep at it, believe in yourself bc hard times happen for everyone and recovery is possible! U got this

Yes, I get this way, too. It’s ok to recharge and rest … you just then have to pick a day to push through and stick with an objective..you will then feel physically and mentally exhausted but good inside that you accomplished something…at least, that’s how it works for me.

Yes! I struggle with this every day! I don't want to get out of bed because I don't want to compulse. I get wind or breath compulsions on my feet and then have to spray my feet, the blanket, and the floor all the way to the bathroom where the alcohol spray bottle is.

i totally get how exhausting ocd can be, it's like your brain doesn't want to give you a break 😔. it's really tough when you're feeling so overwhelmed that it's physically draining. i've been battling a different ocd theme, but something that has really helped me is finding tools that meet me where i'm at. one thing that's been a game-changer for me is the "unstuck ocd therapy tools" app. my local ocd support group recommended it, and it's been super helpful. it provides ai-personalized guidance and exercises that you can use when you're feeling stuck. also, the ocd reddit has been a great place for me to feel less alone and get support from others who really understand what it's like. hang in there, you're not alone in this.
