I’m so tired of this. Life shouldn’t be like this and I think I’m just at my breaking point. I just want to live a normal life and be happy but I guess you can’t get everything you hope for. I pray every night for God to just take me. I want to live but not like this.
Please don’t give up! You are so strong! And you have a whole community of people behind you to encourage you! There are going to be tough days, even ones that feel impossible, and I’ve definitely had a few of those. But don’t give up! Keep pushing, and don’t forget to take a moment and appreciate how far you’ve come! The cloudy days make every ray of sunshine so much brighter. Please reach out to a therapist if you haven’t already, they can give you the help you need! 🫶🫶 you can do this!
@Anonymous_confessions Thank you that means a lot🫶🫶
I'm feeling the exact same thing right now :( I force myself to have faith that God cares and will heal me despite all the evidence around me saying I won't, including my own mind.
Hi there. I’m so sorry you’re feeling this way. I don’t understand exactly what things are like for you, but I’ve had those kinds of thoughts more than I’d care to admit. Like full of life but no more energy for OCD. I wouldn’t wish this disorder on literally any one who’s ever lived. But I deeply want to encourage you to keep going and reach out, whether here, to friends/family, on a different social media platform, to a therapist, whatever works. And as someone who has really felt what you feel, it’s weird for me to be telling someone else these things. But I know you can do this! I personally believe in a higher power too and that sometimes provides me a sense of comfort, but it’s been a journey. I used to blame my deity for doing this to me, but I’ve had to change my perspective—even though I have no clue in existence as to why I struggle with this, I do truly believe I’m supported and guided. You’re never alone 💜!
@OpulentlyCreativeDreamer Thank you. It’s nice to know I’m not alone
Are you on anytypes of medications. Without mine I feel like that a lot
@Labruin14 I just started on Luvox like 2 weeks ago. People say it takes a while to work so I’m trying to wait it out but it’s been very difficult.
@User1345 - I tried Luvox and was really hopeful, but it seemed to make things worse for me. Give it a little though unless things start getting worse, then you should talk to your dr ASAP.
@OpulentlyCreativeDreamer Okay thank you. If you don’t mind asking, what medication do you take now?
@User1345 - Of course! I take Paxil. Zoloft didn’t work for me (zombie/emotionless like feeling). Prozac may have but I had some side effects like shaking and things were almost bright and fuzzy, like when your pupils are dilated. Luvox made me feel gross. Escitalopram helped me most, but it started to feel less effective, so that’s when I started looking again and found Paxil. But everyone’s different! Zoloft seems to be like the go to SSRI for whatever reason
@OrganicallyCreativeDreamer Okay thank you!
This is just too much...and it just sucks because no matter what I do... in reality ocd doesn’t care about what it’s doing to me... it’s gonna keep doing this. My brother is sick with something that causes diarrhea...he was sick with it 2 weeks ago, got better last week, and we all got the stomach flu this week which caused his sickness to come back...he’s playful and doing normal 1 year old things but ocd keeps saying he is going to die. I don’t completely understand how a 1 year old would just magically die from watery shit, but just because this worry makes no sense, it doesn’t mean I’m still not scared.And it showed me a scenario of his funeral and it’s so fucked up.I think the worst punishment God has ever given me was ocd... ocd hurts me more than anyone else can... it’s so fucked up... I used to ask God for help but I guess mental health wasn’t that saving worthy so I just stopped praying about my mental health BC I’d be “wasting my time, he doesn’t answer you.” I just have so mu ch in. My life that isn’t going right and I’m started to get low key sad and miserable about my life at this point. I need help lately but I’m really depending on some sort of relief... just thought control and to get rid of bad people in my life and to get some of my grades up and...to be happy
Ive had 3 good anxiety/OCD days in a row and now im really struggling. I am so tired of struggling and trying to battle my intrusive thoughts. I honestly just want to die. I feel like its easier than living with this. I remember my life before OCD. I remember being normal and i would give anything to be like that again, but i am so discouraged.
Why is this all happening to me,why cant i just be normal like the other teens,why do i always feel confused about everything,why do i always feel worthless and sick,with mental illness,why did God choose me,us,to do this,to go through all this shit,He knows that im not able to make it,he knows that i just want to grow up,to marry a guy and be happy,my intentions are pure,i never wanted to hurt someone like my mind says,i just dont want to,i cant stop it,i cant stop the disorted thinking and everything else that goes through my mind.I feel so worthless so desperate and cursed.I know i keep asking for ur positive talks but i juet cant ask it from anyone else.Its 9 pm here,i need to study but i cant,i feel so stressed,i just want to kill myself.
