Don’t throw yourself away. I know it feels like a tempting solution, but once you make the decision to leave, you can’t undo it. Whatever is happening in your life right now will pass even though it seems like it won’t. Good times are coming. New friends are coming. New opportunities are coming. Just hang on. I swear that you’ll be happy again sooner than you think.

You will not! Feelings are not always facts! You have more control than you think! This is your life! Your mind and soul....fight for it! You deserve better. Do all that you are able to preserve your life and when you need to rest or cry...it's ok...cry..rest. Be kind to yourself. No one and I mean no one would pick this suffering so know that this will one day pass. May not feel like it will however remember what I said about feelings. You really are not alone.

My OCD has never been this strong, it's so real, it feels like it will never go away, it's never been this strong for me and it's very scary.

I know I am going a bit cuckoo because my period is coming up, but lately it feels like every intrusive thought I have, I *like* it. Like I genuinely feel like I like it, and then I immediately panic because I start checking. Mentally, emotionally, whatever it is. And I know that is a compulsion. I *know* that. But it feels so real that I cannot stop myself. Every single time I check, it still feels like I like the thought, and it is driving me absolutely insane. It is especially the POCD thoughts. They feel so real. I feel like something is going on mentally, like some kind of confusion or glitch, because I swear I was not like this before. I would have intrusive thoughts, and they would feel real, but not *this* real. And I do not even know if this is normal. I know OCD is **supposed** to feel convincing. That is the whole thing. But I have never experienced it to this extreme. I have never gotten the same thought so many times and still felt like, “Oh my God, I did enjoy it,” even after checking a million times. It is like no matter how many times I check, it feels like I liked it. Especially during intimacy :( and it is making me lose it. Then I start thinking, “Well, I am in distress, so maybe that is proof it is not actually me.” But right after, I am like, “What if I am only panicking because I care about what society thinks and not because I actually have morals?” And then I spiral again, wondering if maybe I just care about how I am seen rather than who I am. I am panicking so much no today. I had to take my Xanax today for the first time in two months, and I needed three separate doses. I really need some support right now.
