Gosh I relate so much to this. I can’t believe I finished school to be honest. You just have to force yourself through it. I know how it feels to be judged. I got broken up with by a boyfriend over my OCD and lost a lot of friends because of my reassurance seeking. It sucks. But if someone doesn’t even try to understand our OCD and are judge mental, are they really the type of people you want to be around?

Same happens to me, I have just finished college and I am currently looking for an apprenticeship but every time I have an interview my ocd gets worse and it makes my anxiety worse. Hope you’re alright.

Same, honestly I’m failing so bad and I can’t help it, I force myself to go to school but most of the time it gets too much and I end up coming home early. Some days are alright though and I can get through the whole day without needing to escape and it does suck honestly no one at school knows about my ocd except my best friend and school counsellor. But I’m hopeful that it will get easier as I have an appointment on Thursday to see a psychologist.

Oh yeah. To the point that I have vomited repeatedly and lost a lot of weight.

Yes! I usually do a round of Nexium every 4 months to help with the related acid reflux, I’ve cut out any dietary triggers like Dairy or Excess sugar, and I try to exercise regularly! It helps a lot, I still have nervous bathroom breaks but they’ve improved significantly

I used to think I had IBS ad heartburn but that was before I was diagnosed and started on Zoloft. Now I don’t have any of those issues. I guess it was al anxiety related.

Very much so- it was like the symptoms that made me first realize something was off in my case.

I feel like there’s no way out of this. everyday i’m anxious and depressed from these thoughts. i feel like i have to constantly question if it’s OCD or not. the panic attacks are insane and i freak out. and a compulsion i have is looking eveything up on the internet when im stressing to know that it’s just my OCD and im not in danger. but looking things up add on to my thoughts and i start thinking “what if” actual suidcal people think. do others with this theme whenever they do something like if im taking a picture it’ll be like “yeah you look happy people will wonder what happened when your gone” LIKE i DO NOT want to end my life. or even as simple as cleaning my room, “yup keep it clean so when your family goes through your stuff” then i panic and can’t even do anything. those thoughts distress me so bad. i’ll sit there and think how good my life is or when im having a good day my thoughts will be like “NOPEEE what if your just saying that to convince yourself” it never shuts up and genuinely makes me think i have SI or something. i hope this reaches the right people just to know im not alone. Even when i do get better in the back of my mind it’s always “people who want to are the same a day before too” im genuinely scared and im scared one day im going to just snap and do it because its “too much” do i need to go to a mental hospital! i feel insane.

I can't live with OCD anymore. It's ruining my life. I feel like I'm being constantly bullied in my own mind all day everyday. I don't know if what I think and feel is ever real or normal or okay, what is me and what is the OCD thoughts. I don't know if any of my experiences are normal. I'm exhausted from picking apart every single conversation I ever have with anyone until I'm strung out by a vague and ambiguous feeling of guilt. I'm tired of feeling like I'm a bad person and feeling scared all the time and not knowing why and having my brain spin me out on an endless spiralling train of thoughts that never goes anywhere and just makes me feel disconnected from everything and everyone around me. I don't know what I feel and if what I feel is normal or if anything I am doing is real and actually me or if I'm 'losing my mind.' I don't even know if this makes any sense. I get into these states of mind where every thought in my head and everything I feel and perceive makes me question my own sanity. I don't know if anyone likes me because I have absolutely no concept of what I am actually like. I feel completely lost and confused CONSTANTLY.
