OCD makes me wish I restarted my life

@Anonymous That’s really difficult at this point in time ocd is destroying me

@scutodragon Don’t worry I am going through that right now. I was in really really bad place and finally went to therapy and started to undo the mess that the ocd made me, but it’s coming back and feeling real again, and I really just want it to go away haha

@scutodragon But I’m really sorry you feel this way because OCD is so tough to deal with

@Anonymous My ocd is insane and Covid helped make it worse It made me angry at a lot of people and I’ve envied normal people BADLY it’s really difficult to say no to and most treatments I’ve done failed it really feels like I’m losing in life and as much as I hate to say it unless ocd has a real CURE which it likely won’t this life is not worth living I wish I was normal

@scutodragon Major life changes I think definitely makes it worse. And yeah I have 100% been there… have you tried ERP?

@Anonymous Yeah it never worked for me my brain is the type of brain what will whine until it gets what it wants nothing will challenge that though it will broke down anything to get to what it wants and that sucks

@Anonymous I’m so sick of it and I wish there was some loophole to ocd I wish I was better at this I get so angry at others,myself and the stupid brain of mine

@Anonymous And if it makes you feel better… there really is no “normal.” It’s subjective and everyone has their own opinion on what is and isn’t normal. So unfortunately ocd is your normal, and mine too, and we just have to sometimes work a little harder than others to get through certain worries ❤️

@scutodragon Ugh I have those feelings too. It’s really a never ending cycle. If there was a loophole I’d love to know what I have to do haha

@Anonymous That kills me not going to lie it sucks that we have to do more work while they have more joy and always are happier they don’t understand the nightmare of a disorder this is

@scutodragon Yeah me too honestly. I have tried so many times to explain it to my family and friends and no one gets it and thinks it’s just something I’ll get over eventually… like no that’s not how it works haha

@Anonymous But we can help ourselves, help others like us and others not like us better understand all of this so no one has to go through this alone. It’s way too tough

@Anonymous If your open to it we can talk on discord or something I would love to speak to someone with ocd If not I get it too I can come across as a little much to most people

@scutodragon Omg you are not coming across as too much at all! I don’t have discord but I could try to get it?

@Anonymous It’s pretty easy all you have to do it make one using your current email completely free I’m surprised you don’t have it yet

@scutodragon Okay I set it up

@Anonymous I sent u a friend request

@scutodragon I did not get one… maybe bc my username is coco1230004 and display name is coco123, sorry about that!

@brooksisanxious It’s just so hard sometimes

@scutodragon I totally agree OCD is the worst. But never lose hope! Sometimes people have different things that “work” to help cope with their OCD than other people. So maybe there’s a treatment out there you haven’t tried yet that might work for you?

@brooksisanxious My ocd is destroying me I haven’t really found any cure yet

@scutodragon I’m so sorry to hear this. Honestly mine has been destroying me the last four months. I’ve been frozen in analysis paralysis and I can’t rest and I can’t do anything and life feels like hell. But I want you to know I have tried many different methods. There were some methods in the past that didn’t help me and some that did. I had gotten over some of my OCD and I became fairly functional but then I sort of had a relapse. I’ve heard that OCD is life long relapses are normal. It’s kind of like someone who has PTSD, they may never be fully “cured” but better, they just have to learn how to manage their symptoms. Knowing that some things worked in the past and some things didn’t work gives me hope for the future. Also I think it should give you hope too, some methods work for some people and some work for others. And then even if your symptoms improve it’s normal to have relapses
