Staying home from work
Do any of you guys suffer from so bad that you can’t leave the house

I absolutely do. In my experience it helps to go at your own pace, if you don't think you can handle going out it's okay to stay home and take care of yourself sometimes. Still try to push yourself though, I know how hard that can be for us but keep going u got this
@Jayra848 Thank you so much it gets so hard it’s like you’re imprisoned by your own mind my stomach gets sick and I get weak I feel like I want to disappear but not do anything stupid you know what I mean thank you Jayna I appreciate it
I work from home since Covid so it’s very easy for me not to leave the house for days. I know it’s not a great idea because 1) I get “in my head” and ruminate too much and 2) it makes me even more anxious when I do leave the house.
@Daisyandconfused Our minds are so strong just imagine if we could think the same amount of of positive how great we can be
Hi. I’m writing this post because I don’t know if I should be medicated again. Lexapro worked well for me, but I gained like 30 pounds. I quit because of that and honestly I thought I was able to manage my OCD well better. I was wrong, it got worse again. I wish I can do this without medication…that’s why I expose myself everyday, doesn’t matter how drained and exhausted I get. Are you guys medicated or trying to go without medicine. How is it going for you guys? Many hugs for all of you. We got this.
Hey today I’m feeling very tired because of my OCD I’m just so tired of it. I feel I’m doing everything to get better. I disregard the thoughts, I’m trying to do things like I don’t have ocd but it doesn’t want to go away. I was doing fine for a long period of time and now I feel like I’m back a square one. It’s been almost 2 months now I’m battling with OCD and I’m just tired. Sure I have moments where it’s better than others, I also have days where I barely have OCD but I also have really bad days like today where I just don’t want to get out of bed. Last time I had a relapse it took my 4 weeks to get out of it I don’t understand why this time it takes me more. I’m starting believing that I will never feel better again. Anyway I’m gonna try to find the strength to get out of bed and to start my day. But I just wanted to share. It’s such a horrible illness.
I’ve been feeling so disconnected lately, like I’m not even living my own life. It’s like I’m being controlled by someone else, and I have no say in what’s happening. It’s hard to put this feeling into words, but it’s like I’m here physically, but mentally, I’m just... not. Every day feels like a struggle. I wake up afraid of what’s coming next, almost like I’m bracing myself for the next bad thing to happen. Sometimes, I don’t even want to get out of bed because it feels pointless, like I’m stuck in this loop of fear and doubt. I keep questioning everything, life, my purpose, my choices, and it’s exhausting. I just want to feel like myself again, to feel like I have control, like I’m really here.
