Tomorrow is my bday I don’t feel like celebrating because every year I m still struggling with my mental health no changes whatsoever I tried so hard and still stuck with health ocd and other issue is like a never ending cycle right now I m having some health issue which made my ocd even worse why I can’t just be happy and normal and I nipt life without ocd why I m no living I m surviving and is so exhausting
I can relate 100%. Today is my birthday. Yesterday was the anniversary of my dad passing and a good friend passing away. This morning I woke up in a weird upsetting funk because I had a dream last night that triggered me. OCD is notorious for disrupting what's important to me. Birthdays are important even if it doesn't feel very special. Living with OCD can be exhausting, but it's one day at a time. Take it easy this week. Find a way to appreciate how far you've come. You're not alone 🫶
@ranocd :( I m just tired of it I did therapy haven’t see a lot change same old negative person still get anxiety anxiety caused me tmj which cause me pain every day I have so much body and mental to deal with is embarrassing I should be focusing on the positive but seem impossible it made me worse that I m this anxious negative sad person
@Jay is fine Thank you
Hey, I understand how it feels. But at the end of the day, you’re here and alive and that is already an amazing accomplishment. It can be exhausting, but it always will be. It’s hard to come to terms with the cycle. Remember that you having a messed up chemical imbalance does not necessarily mean your a bad person. It’s just our brain and it’s always the opposite of our morals. I’m not just going to emphasize with you, but I’m also going to say this to you. You are enough. You are special and the battles you are fighting is something YOU CAN do. Overcoming isn’t easy. But you are strong. Life isn’t fair, but you can look on the bright side, get up. And look forward to another day of seeing light. I’m so proud of you.
@myjourneytofreedlm Yes thank you for your words I appreciate that a lot is so hard looking in the Bright side staying positive is like I can’t do that
@Monii You can, and suprisingly even when you think you’re not doing it, you’re doing it! You got this warrior
@myjourneytofreedlm Thank you :/
Happy Birthday The only good news I have to share would be I don’t see many old people walking around with OCD or intrusive thoughts and I don’t see them in therapy for it. No elderlies at my psychiatrist’s office. Ever. Maybe it goes away when we get old. 🤷🏻♀️👵🏼
@SomaticSun🌤️ @SomaticSun🌤️ Thank you oh how much I wish and hope for that or that at least get better to work on it because is so bad at the moment is very hard going day by day feeling anxious feel like this will never end hopefully there some more help in the future
@Monii There ya go!
This is so hard. I know recovery is a roller coaster but I am tired of going in circles, you know? I think am getting better but then I over think that and it makes me feel bad and I sure. Today was a tough day. Tomorrow is my birthday, I hope tomorrow is better then today. All the best ❤️
It's my 28 birthday and my intrusions have been getting the worst of me today. I feel like I'm losing my mind and for what, another year around the globe losing my mind? Today was supposed to be a good day and I can't help but fester on my intrusive thoughts. I honestly hate life right now and it feels like I was born just to feel this pain that won't go away. I'm sorry is so depressing of a post I just need to let it out.
Hello everyone it’s my birthday and I can’t stop ruminating, haha, I’m not sure why I feel sad if everything is going I guess pretty well. I keep ruminating and overthinking about this one person and stuff, we cleared things about how we feel and it made me and them feel happy but my brain keeps telling me I’m not good enough for them and that things won’t go well or something, I really hate having these thoughts because I know I should be alright but it’s all making me sad.
