I feel so discouraged

I’m so sorry that you’re going through all that Brynnie, remember that you CAN do it and you are strong and will pull through. Know that there are people who can help you, talk to a parent maybe/teacher/adult you trust/OCD therapist. OCD can be very distressing so know that you are not alone at all, many others are going through similar experiences.

No one can do the work for you. You need to CHOOSE to take people’s advice on here. No one can force you to do things—and OCD isn’t forcing you to do or not do something either.

When I’m feeling really bad, I remind myself that feelings are temporary. They will pass, as sure as the earth is spinning. And it’s okay to feel your feelings. Journaling often helps me. What can you do to help yourself feel better?
