Stress

I think the reason I have been triggered is because of stress I am SO STRESSED I work 50+ hour work weeks have so many bills and it just feels like things keep happening to make life work like today my tire popped! I can’t afford it so I am stressing out about that I just signed up to start college asap (this month) and I don’t know where I am gonna have time for myself I barely have time to eat and sleep let alone shower but somehow my thoughts make time in my head to be the way they are and I am gonna be honest it pisses me off! What about y’all? Are y’all pissed off? Tell me about it in the comments:)

This is too relatable. I work 7 days a week. Had the biggest financial slap in the face over the last year and every time it started to get better, it got worse... Over and over and over again. Stress is the biggest trigger for ocd. It's getting better hopefully/ finally now. Hopefully does for you too

Honey when faced with challenges, remember your resilience and unwavering determination. You possess the strength to conquer any obstacles in your path and reach your goals. Every effort you put in, no matter how small, will not go unnoticed or unrewarded. Keep pushing forward, and soon enough, you'll emerge from the darkness into the light, basking in the warmth of success. Remember, you've got this girl!

@KateFart23 I know it might not seem like that, but I am in the same situation. That's why I understand how you are feeling, but I also believe that there are always good things coming our way when we need them the most.

@Nilii My mom just told me our minds are the strongest things in our bodies and if I let me brain convince I could do it and that sent me down another rabbit hole😩

@KateFart23 It's something like my fear of the law of attraction. I usually listen to a lot of spiritual teachers' podcasts, and most of them insist on the power of thoughts and imagination. It's a big trigger for OCD. However, I'm dealing with it one step at a time. I know thoughts aren't going to be manifested fast, so I have time to change them. Whenever I feel stressed about it, I choose pictures of where I want to be or what brings me joy to achieve. Then the rush of joy and excitement of actually being there and all those pictures makes me feel better. Remember, emotions are even stronger than thoughts. That's why feeling excited while looking at something you want can fill your mind with a lot of beautiful positive images.

I understand the overwhelming feeling of juggling numerous tasks, financial responsibilities, and striving to make ends meet every day. This constant stress can lead to adrenal fatigue, resulting in lower energy levels and mood. The pressure to keep up with everything and achieve your goals can feel like being in a war zone. However, it's essential to shift your focus towards your dreams and goals. Visualize how you will feel when you accomplish them. Embrace the happiness and joy as if you have already achieved them, and maintain hope for the best outcomes. Remember that all your hard work will eventually pay off, and the struggles you face now will fade away. Stay determined and keep your eyes on the prize. Though the journey may seem long and challenging, remember that there is light at the end of the tunnel, and you are moving towards it. I wish you abundant happiness, peace, and success on your path. Believe that you deserve all the good things coming your way💖

@Nilii Tha is girl you got me crying at work lmao! This is the nicest thing I’ve ever read and I ss it for later when I am having the same issues I just need to remeber that it’s passed once and it’ll pass again they call this a mental health “relapse” and let me tell you she goes away for a while and comes back with a VENGEANCE but I just have to take things one step at a time and remember that that’s not me or who I am as a person

I don't know who I am

I don't know what's real. I don't know who I am, I don't know if everything I believe is made up, all my emotions, my memories..it feels fake, I'm stressed the fuck out because I can't even tell if my past is real

Anxious about everything

Guys I need help. I feel so alone . Basically I have this compulsion where I feel the need to write everything but this stems from me being anxious about EVERYTHING. Like my mom came in my room and I was irritated and snapped, immediately regretted now I keep writing “don’t be mean to mom next time” but I keep thinking about it. Then I think about how I finally left my house today and all the surfaces I touched that could’ve been contaminated and now I’m writing “next time don’t touch this and this”. Then I think about all the things I need to be doing for this week and I’m writing “don’t forget to do this and this” even though I’ve written it 5 times already. This is what happens everyday btw. My brain always thinks about something I need to be doing and making me anxious that I’ll forget it which is why I write it down on my notes app. I’m sooo mentally exhausted I need help pls!! Anyone have any advice ? I used to think I need to stop the writing but really I need to stop the anxious thoughts coming into my head . People say I need to accept the thoughts and let it go but that’s too hard for me

What should I do guys?

I’ve been feeling so disconnected lately, like I’m not even living my own life. It’s like I’m being controlled by someone else, and I have no say in what’s happening. It’s hard to put this feeling into words, but it’s like I’m here physically, but mentally, I’m just... not. Every day feels like a struggle. I wake up afraid of what’s coming next, almost like I’m bracing myself for the next bad thing to happen. Sometimes, I don’t even want to get out of bed because it feels pointless, like I’m stuck in this loop of fear and doubt. I keep questioning everything, life, my purpose, my choices, and it’s exhausting. I just want to feel like myself again, to feel like I have control, like I’m really here.
