Hey I can relate to that sadness that is there when you begin to starve your compulsions. Check out this video on what happens to you when you begin to starve compulsions and what is the beneath all that chasing that you do when OCD is active, and how you can begin to heal from that sadness and emptiness. https://youtu.be/eYWaGym1tGQ?si=DsV3sJzkVQXsz4Jw

@Kollin No problem. This video really helped me because when I started starving my compulsions, I noticed there was an emptiness and depression that I began to experience and I realized that was there but doing my compulsions and living compulsively that emptiness was beneath that.

So true. It’s uncomfortable to stand on one’s own feet suddenly, but it’s necessary There are stages, first you don’t want to give up your compulsions (although you already have the fight strength to resist them), then you mourn you have to be „on your own“ now, you go your fist steps alone, you go back and forth. And then you gradually discover to live on your own. OCD was the worst thing in your life, but it becomes smaller.

Encouragement please
I have had suicidal OCD for over a year now. I just am struggling to fight it tonight. I just have an enormous amount of self doubt and I can’t stop wondering if I’ll ever make it through this or not. My life is great but I just feel miserable every day. Any encouragement helps. Thanks

Looking for positivity 😄
I’ve seen wayyyy too many negative posts on here (I totally get it)…but can someone please share some positive experiences? Doesn’t have to be so grand, it could be just that you achieved a small goal with your ocd! I don’t want to continue feeling drowned by this debilitating disorder. I want to see what has helped some of you! So we can all encourage each other! 😊
