I understand. I feel like this at times as well. Just remember, you aren’t. You cannot help this disease and you didn’t choose it. Remember, your feelings and emotions are just that. They do not define you. Praying for you

I understand & have shared these feelings. You are not a burden, and you deserve to be understood and treated with compassion, not only by other people but also yourself. Stay strong! You can get through this!

You are not a burden! You are a creation made by the same God who made the stars and planets, who made mountains and rivers and lakes. You are the handy work of a Creator who designed you and made you to be the person you are. You are no mistake. You have to know that what we feel is weakness , is actually what we use to keep us strong. Everyday you wake up knowing that OCD is going to be there and you still wake up and continue to fight. How strong you are is displayed out in front of you day in and day out!!!! You are extrodanary!!! You have to see that, “ fear is but precursor to valor, and to rise and triumph in the face of fear is what it means to be a hero.”

I’m really down and don’t have anyone i feel i can turn to. I’m just so tired of living as myself. I hate who i love with including myself. I feel so worthless. Having ocd on top of it makes me feel like im just a waste of space. I dont know how to stop feeling this way. Or if i deserve to. That’s all :(

My mental health is declining due to ocd. It’s like a huge mix between ocd episode and depression wave. I feel weak and hopeless. I wanna cry. I’m exhausted . I feel like I’ve lost myself again.

I don’t know if it’s worth it to keep going. I have so many diagnoses, so little support, and constant struggles with finding the right medication. My immune system is weak, I have multiple deficiencies, and I’m dealing with so many physical health problems on top of severe OCD. It’s just too much. On top of everything, my family treats me so not okay. Every single day is a fight just to keep going—to wake up, to eat, to take care of myself even a little. I’ve lost over ten pounds in the last two weeks from how depressed I’ve been. And instead of support, all I get is blame. My family constantly throws my struggles in my face, calling me selfish, as if I’m choosing this. I am trying so hard to push past all of this. But after five long months of severe OCD, anxiety, depression, panic disorder, and everything else making life unbearable, I am exhausted. And to be called lazy? Selfish? *Worthless*? How am I supposed to keep going when the people around me refuse to see how hard I’m trying? I don’t want this anymore. None of this suffering feels worth it. What am I fighting for just to be treated this way by my own family? To be yelled at for the look on my face, when my face reflects nothing but the stress, panic, and despair I’m drowning in? Am I still supposed to smile for them? This isn’t fair. No one should have to live like this. I don’t deserve to be treated this way, I’m really trying to keep going, but I just want everything to end.
