Today i feel like crying. I am so upset today. All my thoughts are negative and they just make me upset. I feel like i need a break from life. Everything is so hard. I just can't do it anymore. I was strong for so long but today i feel like giving up. I want to feel free atleast for a day. Everything seems so tough. I am not that strong enough. ššš
You're so much stronger than you think. Take some deep breaths. Drink some water eat some food and sleep or nap if you have tooš¤. This is just your triggered brain talking. It will get better š¤
I believe youāre stronger than you know but itās okay to want at least a break. No one wants to be strong 24/7 because at some point it makes you go numb ): you deserve to feel free and have a break from whatever is around you, donāt give up though š«µš¾ā¤ļø
Even though you may feel like giving up, youāre much stronger than you think. Even though these thoughts and anxious feelings may be getting to you, youāre stronger than them. Donāt let negative thoughts and even fears control you and never give up.
I understand how you feel. Thatās how I felt when my OCD was at its ļæ¼ most severe. It does get better, you can break free . But ļæ¼you are doing to have work on treating your ocd and it will A lot of work and time. I highly recommend looking up OCD exposure response and how not to do compulsions. ļæ¼ The only way to get OCD to leave you alone is learn not to react to it and itās hard, but oh I cannot explain to the relief you will feel when you successfully start to learn to not react to your OCD, and not be afraid of it, and not do the compulsions. ļæ¼ OCD is hard, but you can push through it and slowly heal from it. You just Gotta make sure that youāre consistently treating it.
I am trying ERP for my contamination ocd but i do have overthinking problems. Due to some problems in my life, my brain just don't think positive
@anaa Over thinking with ocd is normal and not being positive is also normal. Ocd can make you depressed and anxious. Peaple with ocd are 10 times more like to get depression. Keep trying your best and you will slowly get better. I have had ocd and depression for years , if your ocd goes down your depression will lessen too.I feel that ocd uses my depression and anxiety and I can not treat them when my ocd is intense. I recommend treating your ocd and has it becomes less overwhelming you will have an easier time treating depression and other mental health issues and have some mental energy to do so.
@Brooke cookie I am trying my best to fight ocd but today i feel exhausted. I don't have any energy and strength to do this anymore
@anaa I feel you , ocd burns you out and makes you feel weak like you can not keep going. It gets better just keep going, i highly recommend doing something that makes you happy even if just a little bit to help on your bad days. I watch kid shows from my childhood and eat chocolate it does not make it a good day but it helps when I am really feeling down.
@Brooke cookie Yeah, i am just trying to sleep so i will forget about it for a while and will feel refreshed
@anaa I understand done that myself. I hope you start to feel some relief soon.
I hope you feel better now. I can imagine how you're feeling. Just try to remember that these days will pass and good days will come, even if it takes a long time.
Yeah, my anxiety is still high but i am still working or ERP
When you feel like giving up Just look straight up Look up to the sky Talk to the most high.
I am having such a hard day. The thoughts and anxiety are so loud today. I canāt stop crying.
Another vent Iām so sorry! I just come to realize that I feel like Iām the only one struggling and doing this to myself. It sucks because I look at the people around and I wish I could be like them. I donāt want to be obsessive. I donāt want these thoughts and worries. Realizing this is forever sucks. Iām crying again. Iām always crying because Iām such an emotional person. I hate it. Itās so funny because everytime I always feel like Iām doing better like no crying and stuff but it only last a couple weeks or days. I just donāt know if I can live a fulfilling life.
I see people living their lives and just enjoying themselves. Not taking things too seriously and not overly stressing. And then thereās me. Who stresses at the slightest thing. Whose OCD has taken massive chunks of my life that Iāll never get back. It feels like Iām going through life just terrified of my own f*cking shadowā¦ Any small thing I have to deal with that to anyone else might just cause slight inconvenience or nervousness, causes me to have an almost complete and utter breakdown. WHY CANT I HANDLE LIFE. I am so ashamed of who I am. I want to be someone who is brave and courageous and who does things and lives life anyway, regardless of fear. But no. I avoid living because of it. Why am I even here if this is how my life is? What is the point? Iām going through it today, friends š
