Anxiety
I’ve been struggling a bit after being in the hospital for two weeks and this my first day out. Any words of encouragement would be great❤️

it’s understandable that you would be struggling! the fact you’re able to be out of the hospital shows that you are on your way up… you can absolutely do this.
@jolie27 I’m trying to be hopeful my theme is just so taboo and hard to deal with and I’m just feeling the anxiety this evening.
@Booklover19 i am sorry you are feeling like this, obviously i don’t know what your theme is but taboo thoughts are especially difficult as they are so isolating…i wish i could be more help with knowing how to relieve anxiety but im terrible at it myself. i understand your struggle though
@jolie27 It’s POCD and it can be absolutely crippling I hate it with a passion and would love to go back to feeling like normal when I was so sure of my thoughts and feelings.
first off - I can’t imagine what you are going through, I hope you are doing well and i’m wishing you a speedy recovery! being in the hospital for such a long period of time is definitely not easy so give yourself grace 🫶🏻 I have anxiety too so understand where you are coming from - take a deep breath and give yourself a day or two to settle back in. you totally got this!!
@Sky.679 It was an inpatient psych stay….my anxiety is pretty high right now because of my OCD theme and intrusive thoughts. It’s so hard to sit with these uncomfortably feelings
@Booklover19 I totally understand. You are so strong! I’m sorry you are going through this
You are strong stick to the foundation at the hospital gave you in regards to your treatment Did they give you any medication? Did they set you up with a therapist? I find that structured days work better for me. I don’t know if that’s the same for you. I think structured days help lesson the anxiety
You’re strong you got this. It took strength to go into the hospital. You are not alone
I’ve been trying my best with ERP and just everything that’s going on. I have severe OCD, GAD, PMDD, panic disorder, recently diagnosed ADHD, and currently experiencing a major depressive episode. Apparently. I was taking a break from this app but I really need support right now. My family is honestly really mean and not understanding of what I’m going through. Right now it’s gotten bad to the point I had to withdrawal from my last semester of university. My only support is my boyfriend and he’s now planning to join the military. I won’t be able to talk to him for 3 months and I feel really scared of being alone with all of this. I know I shouldn’t depend on him to begin with but right now I’m at an extremely low point and I feel like I won’t make it alone. There hasn’t been a single day we haven’t texted and talked in 4 years. I feel really scared, but I don’t want to hold him back. You guys, I feel so sad and terrified right now. I don’t want him to go, he’s all I have.
Hi I kept seeing this app on repeat on TikTok over and over and I thought I give it a shot. I have never been diagnosed with OCD but I know that I have it. I’m a young adult and I found out the first time I had OCD was watching lelelons truth video? I was 14 at the time She had to resist sitting back down in a chair after her having sat down she started having a mental break down when she was told to resist. That’s when I knew. It started with myself going up and down a staircase twice buckling unbuckling my seat belt everytime I’m in the car ect I have always been super anti social but trying my best I can socialize but my mind wants to make it sexual with family and friends ughhhh I hate it because that’s not me when I graduated thoughts of hurting my loved ones corrupted my mind I broke down outside of church one time asking if this was really me or not i question if I’m a good enough friend or person in this world to begin with thinking everyone is judging me so so close how can I make this situation better did I do something wrong I struggle with depression as well not to bad but it’s there I come from a loving family but broken as well i believe in god and my OCD makes me go often he’s not real that stuff isn’t real no one is there to save you the list goes on. Anyway I struggle a lot and I really hope that this will help me because I feel extremely hopeless. Lucky for me I do have the ability to seek therapy and I am excited. The only person I ever tell my thoughts to is God no other human has heard so I’m really really hoping this helps me out if your reading this thank you it means a lot because this is my first time ever admitting all this it’s a lot to take in I know and I hope you are ok and that you have a great night and know that we got this
I just found out today that a family friend will be staying over at my house (I live with my parents) for a night. And I have contamination ocd and that’s causing me anxiety. I fear that her being here will contaminate my home, which is like my safe place. It’s hard just sitting with the anxiety. I want this day to be over! Does anyone have anything to support me? Thanks
