Everything will be okay, change your relationship with OCD. Right now it feels like you want it to just stop and go away. And that’s not realistic right now, so accept it and learn that it’s not something that has to bother you, those thoughts just let them come and go let them be background noise. The urgent compulsions don’t do them and let the anxiety build up because eventually it will come down and you will start to feel better. You have a lot to offer. I’ve been really good and really bad with OCD, but I’ll tell you when I learned to focus my brain on the good and the present a lot changed. Also go into therapy and go on meds they help tremendously. Hope this helps! It will get better and you will prevail !

Keep fighting man, trust me OCD has brought me to my knees and made my cry before. There were times I couldn’t even get up in the morning because I was feeling so anxious, but regardless of how bad it got I kept fighting and I promised myself I’d never quit. There’s so much to live for and to accomplish. I’m doing so much better now, sometimes I still get in my moods and have the intrusive thoughts but it’s not nearly as bad as it used to be. I hope my story helps u and helps u realize u will be okay.

You shouldn't try it. There need to be an experienced user who will not allow you to harm yourself

Focusing won't work as much. Even random word from stranger or even on youtube video can bring compulsive

You’re not alone. I can totally relate with how you’re feeling, just wanting to disappear. But then ocd would win. This is a battle but you will come out stronger! You will be able to help many people struggling with the same things you are

Thank you all for the kind words and suggestions. I wish I could say I’m feeling better today but nothings changed. I’m gonna keep trying as long as I can. It’s so hard to fight when you want to give up.

Ryanp0333, thank you for that. Did you take meds to get where you are now?

Yes!! I took meds and thought “hey I’m doing really good” and then stopped taking them like an idiot lol and I ended up relapsing so bad, it was worse than when I didn’t even know I had OCD because I just felt so anxious and bad knowing I knew it was OCD but nothing I did could stop it. Then I went back on Meds and started therapy again and have made so many strides. I still have bad days without a doubt but my good days have gone up tremendously. I definitely suggest taking meds and doing CBT or talk therapy. We live in a time now where we have so much information and help with these mental disorders that we should take full advantage of it!

No problem, I know exactly what you mean I was always reluctant to go on meds, I always wanted to “do it the natural way” and “work it out myself” but I realized the meds are here to help and that I have control over the amount I take. Right now I take a very low dose and it already helps tremendously.

I hope I can get to the point where I’m not afraid of taking meds. It’d really help.

I hate sitting in my room with only me and my thoughts. I have lost my faith in the lord and can’t seem to get on with my life. I’m so stuck on everything and can’t seem to get better. I keep self harming and get to the point to where I see the second layer of my skin. It gets worse and worse each time I have suicidal thoughts. One of these days it’ll get so bad that well you can probably guess what I may do. I have been abused physically mentally and sexually in my past and it haunts me every single day of my life. Any time I try to talk to someone about my mental health they tell me I’m a waste of their time or that I need to talk to someone other than them. But all that does is make me keep it all bottled up and I can’t take it anymore. They say mental abuse is worse than physical and I can see why they say that. I just want a normal life so I don’t have to be depressed 24/7. It ruins my social life and it makes me loose my friends and family because of how distant I am. I just need help and please give me advice. Also sorry I’m not very good at explaining things.

I haven't been officially diagnosed with OCD but when I learned more about it, I never related to anything more. A little back story: when I was younger, there were a couple of youth suicides in my area and the schools felt the need to have someone come in and talk about suicide. Well the person they had come in did a horrible job teaching it and basically made it seem like the smallest negative emotion or feeling or change in behavior made you suicidal. This ended up scaring me so much that I got horrid anxiety. Fast forward to now, Everytime I feel anxiety and panic, I fear I'm going to kill myself. Everytime I feel down and depressed, I fear I'll end it all. I'm scared to be around anything sharp because the "What if" I hurt myself comes into my mind. There are always intrusive thoughts at almost every point of the day. And it's not only for me. Everytime I hear someone being negative, I fear they will be suicidal. I know in my heart that none of this is true but it's terrifying me that it's stuck around so much that it makes me scared that maybe it is true. I've had a lot of death in my family in the past year and a half and a lot of other family drama that I'd never had before that is now also bringing up existential intrusive thoughts. And I'd never questioned anything about life before but now I get the "why is life like this?" and "does anything we do matter?" and I hate it. I don't want to think like that. I just want to go through life being able to handle things normally again. It terrifies me even right now going "what if you give up?"

Really bad theme right now is death, I keep thinking about how one day or at any moment my heart will stop my brain will stop & my memories & everything I know will all fade away. It is giving me so much anxiety I’m only 18, but I realize it all happens to us it is bound, we are born to die. I know it’s a silly thing to be scared because it’s not helping the quality of my life worrying about it and even when I do die, I won’t care , if you don’t have a working brain then how can you care 🤷♀️. It is tainting my everyday life currently & honestly making me terribly depressed & it is giving me derealization & making me feel nihilistic, I’ll remind myself it’s okay but then with my ocd i don’t stop thinking and thinking about it and it’s seriously so hard to stay present in the moment because this thought just feels like I can’t scrub it away it’s miserable I struggle with religion, but I do pray to anything that’s out there possibly listening, because it is comforting, it just feels like this whole experience Is pointless & I am afraid of the unknown and what is to possibly happen but I’m subjected to it anyways so why should it matter
