throughout all of this i have had this mindset countless of times, but each time i have gotten better and so will you i promise it gets better. i am struggling badly right now as well so i understand how you feel, however we need to stay positive because letting ourselves feel helpless will only make it worse unfortunately. i know how extremely hard it is to stay positive through all this but it really helps to just try, even if you dont believe it right now its good to tell yourself that eventually you WILL feel better. if nothing else, time will heal. youve got this i wish you the absolute best. if you need someone to talk to i can talk

Hey, I’m sorry you’re going through this right now! I may be way off the mark, but it sounds like you’re in a lot of emotional pain, and are struggling to find a way to get it to stop, and are hoping to get some kind of community support? Are you lacking any support outside of this app, or is there anyone who you feel comfortable talking to about this? Regardless, we can figure this out! Is there something in particular that’s triggered you to feel this way, or does it feel more like it just came out of the blue?

@Courage2Continue What I’ve been experiencing has been coming in waves. The feeling is always in the back of my mind but sometimes it just flares up like it did yesterday. I’m doing okay now and I do have a therapist but I haven’t seen her in over a month and I just don’t wanna share to much and be admitted to the hospital.

@tay_may19 Oh good, I’m glad you’re doing better! It’s okay to not be doing great too, that’s why we’re all here! OCD can be brutal most days, and the point isn’t to necessarily feel happy all the time, but to feel less alone and have permission to feel all the emotions as they come up, and know you aren’t going to be judged for it. There’s a reason a lot of people who are depressed don’t seek out help, and it’s usually because there’s this huge weight of “you need to change because you shouldn’t feel x/y/z, and if you can’t feel better then there’s something wrong with you,” but no one really asks why it’s so hard for someone experiencing depression to talk about their feelings. Usually depression starts because the individual already doesn’t feel like they have a right to be able to experience all their emotions without getting punished or backlash for them, and it’s really important that we build up a community for each other where we can openly talk about these things! I don’t know if your therapist is a NOCD therapist, or an OCD specialist, but I know once I opened up more to my therapist about what was going on with me and told her the details of everything, I felt better. Weirdly enough, what looks like planning for a suicidal person is actually compulsions for others, and I always felt so weird that I needed to keep self harm things around to feel better. Especially because I didn’t use them! And it turns out I was using them compulsively to show myself that I wasn’t going to follow through. I thought my therapist was for sure going to send me to inpatient, but she was extremely understanding and we worked it out! It was nice to finally speak to someone who exhibited trust in me to be able to handle my own emotions, and it was very liberating to experience that! I really hope that you can experience that too!

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.

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.
