Feeling hopeless
I feel like nothing is ever going to get better. I don't want to live anymore.

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☀️

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

Don't want to live this life
Feeling like I am a burden on my parents as well on me. No my parents never said anything like this. I just want to end this life which is full of mental suffering which can't be explained. Feeling like I will never be able to do anything in my life. I so want to go far away from these things where there will be only peace.

Feeling sad
Last week was a lot easier for me. I felt like thoughts didn’t control me and my actions as much as they did earlier. Today was really hard for me and I feel like I’m starting to lose hope again:( I can’t take the thoughts and the feelings that come with them anymore. I feel like I have failed and I’m never going to be happy again.

To anyone who cares
I’m really depressed and lately life has been really really bad. Everyday, it’s like something horrible happens and my mind tries to make me forget it. My family life isn’t that great and everything is super tough for me. It’s like when I get better I go like a million steps back. I ended up doing something bad today:ended up becoming aggressive to myself and caused some ouchies) it hurt a lot and right now I’m really stressed and have been for a while. My mental well being has been extremely bad these days. I have obsessive compulsive disorder but for me it’s decently strong so it’s hard to contain, Complex-trauma, depression, and possibly ADHD. It’s an awful mix. My life is a living hell everyday. I’m not sure how much longer I can keep lying to myself to Myself that I’m getting better when in reality I’m in so much pain, it’s like I’m barely doing anything at all. Please, help, I’ve been acting not like myself. I want to live, even though it’s extremely difficult too and I rather much not be here, but people are counting on me and I don’t want to fail them. How can I convince myself to stay a little longer when I am fully burnt out from trying to get better? I’m in so much pain. I don’t know how to even deal with it. I’m so lost, I might lose it more, and I’m scared for myself. I feel like I don’t even deserve help. I’m so mentally unwell I can’t even think correctly. I hate everything and just want to sleep forever and ever. I’m so numb to it all. I don’t feel anything anymore.
