Feeling hopeless

Don’t give up! Things WILL get better! You can’t see above the water now but you will and you will be so glad you made it out when you!

Hey things WILL get better. I have dealt with ocd for over 5 years now and let me tell you there were times where I couldn't do it anymore. But i got back up on my feet because you know who runs my life? ME. You know who's not going to put me down? my ocd. our ocd isn't us and I know it's REALLY hard to do but what i've done to get better is try to let the thoughts fly by. Embrace some uncertainty☀️

Things will get better! Please know you are worthy and a good person! Your OCD doesn’t define who you are!!!!

Please don’t give up! I had these same thoughts going through my head yesterday, but then I stepped back and realized that no one sees my OCD, but me. My nephew doesn’t know my struggle with POCD. He just sees me as a person he loves. My parents don’t see my harm OCD. They just see the daughter they love. We only see our OCD as ugly. We need to love that part of us, even though we hate it most days.

I’m feeling the same way and I just don’t know what to do anymore I feel so much guilt and shame tied to my POCD thoughts, sensations, urges like I honestly don’t feel like I deserve to live
