Woke up feeling bad again today. That rollercoaster is so hard. The thoughts are back, the low mood. I have a friend’s wedding today and I’m so scared I won’t be able to make it 😞😭
Try not to get stuck in the black and white thinking! Bad feelings are just that, feelings, which thankfully are temporary, don’t let them ruin the possibility of having even more great or even wonderful days! Healing is not a straight path, give yourself time and space to feel the lows, the discomfort, the ache, and when you’re ready, make the day yours!
@KarsynJ This is so hard. It’s really scary that maybe the feeling won’t go away. And I’ll always be like that. I have harm ocd so it throws me right to where my brain wants to be. Just Hard.
Don't focus on what you don't want to do, and don't want to think about. Acknowledge they are there and don't try and ignore them. Make a list quickly and do it, even if it's stuff like wash your face, clean your teeth, eat breakfast. Lots of small achievable goals even if it's just for this morning. Have that be your focus. Some upbeat music usually gets me going if I don't want to move
@Wolfram Yes I’m doing that and I’m working! But the feeling is very heavy. I’m scared the I want to act on my thoughts, and scared that things we want do not pass…
@confused writer You're overriding your faulty responses and fight or flight. You will be scared. Keep heading in the right direction. It gets worse before it gets better
TW I’m feeling really bad about myself today. I feel like a fraud and a liar. I’ve been unable to enjoy my time with my girlfriend because I’m bombarded with my thoughts. I’ve been asking for reassurance from so many people and nothing is helping. Nothing makes me feel better anymore and I’m worried that this is just how it’s going to be for forever. I miss when I could just be happy and not overthink so much. I miss being able to get through my days without this crippling anxiety. I’m worried there’s going to be a day where I realize I have no fight left in me
I'm going through a rough time. I used to think medication would brighten my world, but if anything, it's muted it. The physical anxiety is less, and I felt okay(ish) for a while, but things are getting bad again. I'm so afraid I'll never get to a point where I feel safe in my body and in my mind. Today is the first day I've cried in... I don't know how long. But I didn't feel the relief I thought I would. Initially, I did, but it morphed into dread, and now I'm sitting by myself, trying not to panic. I really want to begin seeing a therapist for OCD, but I don't know how much my insurance covers. There's just so much on my mind right now. A whole bunch of old themes are resurfacing. I wish I could've been given a different path in life. I'm trying to stay strong. It's just really difficult. I feel like I'm being sent back to square one :(
I have hold back my tears . I’m trying so hard to play it off. I can’t think about it anything without on the verge of falling apart . I have no self control over my mind . I’m scared. Is this a psychosis . I have barely eaten in days . My stomach is growling but I have no appetite. Idk what’s going on . Normally if I have a rough week I can fight it but I can’t fight it this time. My biggest fear is loosing my bf. I’m spending the day with him and all I can do it think about what’s gonna happen when I leave .
