I miss my humanity so much. Yall this is so weird but i always dreamt of traveling and living on an island and i just heard music i listened in the times where i dreamt of that. And it makes me so sad because all that pssion and excitement is gone and it hits me how empty i am now. I dont know for how long this will keep going.

I would say write down your inspirations, that's what I do. I write a lot of music. Passion can only be found with inspiration.

I know but thats it, it all has been sucked out of me. I wish i had something to write down. I wis i had the desire for anything. Gosh i feel so empty and meaningless, its like ever since my ocd im not genuinely into something because i dont feel like myself at all but im so sick of it. My ocd has reached everything in my life to the point i get anxious about almost everything like series or music u know. It really sucks so much...

@hocdgirlsummer Even though I think you said you have no interests, can I ask if you go to therapy to help you? What do you find is the best therapy for your type of OCD?

@Wisteria I wish i could go to therapy but it costs so much and in my country the waitlist is about 2-3 years. Im also 17 y/o and dont want to tell my parents about this because they truly have so much other problems and 5 children and i just cant push another problem on their shoulders. I havent really looking into therapy yet :/

@hocdgirlsummer The waiting is 2-3 years? You sound like me so far when I was growing up. Do you feel responsible for others but forget about yourself?

Yeah, I know the feeling of being unable to be passionate or exited towards anything anylonger, It left our heart with emptiness. This's something we cannot predict when it will pass, but if you into religion try to be a religious person. At least in my case it helps filling my heart instead of being empty, it's like a little treatment for me till someday maybe I can feel exited again. Hope you find your own little treatment.

Hey! Im religious yeah. Sadly i feel like even my connecrion with god has been damaged by my ocd. I used to have a strong bond and everything in the bible used to make so much sense and my mental health was at peace so much. But because ive been brainwashed so much by my ocd and ive become so drained ive just started to act bad as a human being. I find it really hard to care about things and i wish i didnr have that. But i know its my ocd that plays a big part bur i cant help but feel really guilty about my latest behaviour. I wish i did more for others and helped my parents and this list goes on and on and on. Do you maybe have tips on how im able to strengthen my connecrion with god again??

First you need to realize that your OCD is a proof that God love you, how? Well, do you know that the most loved people by the God and the the nearest ones to Him are prophets, yet instead of being live easily they're undergoing the most hardest life, a lot of obstacles and tests. Why? because the love of God it's different with the love of human, with human when he/she love someone he/she will do anything to make the loved one happy, but with God it's the opposite if He love someone He would give him/her trials, perils, challange because if they be able to endure or be patient they'll be rewarded and His rewards are saved in the afterlife that everlast. For He only give the best for the loved one and what the best on His eyes is a reward that have eternal quality which only can be gain in afterlife, not just a temporal worldly pleasure. Hence the more hurdle we faced the more rewards He'll present for us, this is what I believe in my religion. So don't worry even if you couldn't do anything to help people around you, just being survived with your own struggles is already the act of devotion as long as you're being patient, not angry or being destructive. He already distributes His rewards equally, for healthy people rewards will be given by being just and helping others, for people with illness rewards will be given by being patients and do no harm to themselves while continuely seeking the cure. As for the OCD currently I'm implementing ERP method, I don't know if it's going to work but so far so good.

It's normal, everybody wants to live happily, that's why you need to do the treatment regularly so you can be recovered in the near future and spent the rest of your life with a healthy life. Meanwhile, you can still serve God in your restriction conditions with a small good deed that you're capable doing, just make a small adjustment, God is never sleep. I'm a muslim.

please help, feeling trapped between two realities

Hi everyone, I haven’t posted in a while—about 6 months—but I’m really struggling and need some help or advice. I thought I had healed from all of this, or at least I was doing so much better. I have never felt this before but it feels like I’m slipping back into something I can’t control. Right now, it feels like I’m stuck in a bad reality. It’s like I’m trapped with my dad in one reality, and I’m trying to get back to the other where I’m with my family, but I can’t. It’s so hard to explain, but everything around me feels unreal, and my mind keeps telling me I’m stuck. It feels so real, and I don’t know how to get out of it. It’s like I’ve been transported to another world, and I can’t break free. nd now I’m scared I’ll never come back to the “good” reality I had before. and I genuinely believe this. I’ve been struggling with these thoughts about spiritual realms, the devil, and spiritual warfare. My dad has always talked about these things, and he’s gone through psychosis before. He’s also had a history of doing a lot of drugs, and now I’m terrified that I might end up like him. I fear that I’m somehow becoming like him, trapped in that same mental space he’s been in. He talks about spiritual stuff that scares me, and I can’t shake the thought that I might be losing myself the same way he did. I know this might sound weird, but I feel like I’m getting closer to that line, and I don’t know how to stop it. I keep feeling like I’ll never come back to the way things were, like I’ll always be stuck in this distorted reality. I’m afraid of losing myself, especially in my faith. I believe in God, but my thoughts and fears about all of this are making it hard to feel connected to Him. I feel so distant from God right now, and it’s hard to see how this can change. Has anyone else experienced something like this—feeling like you’re trapped between realities, afraid of becoming someone you don’t want to be, or struggling with fears like this? How did you cope? I just need some hope that I can get through this and come back to a better place. I’m scared, and I feel like I can’t escape this. Any advice would really mean a lot right now.

Missing when I felt ok.

I miss when I wasn't ruminating 24/7, waking up with horrible anxiety or spending all day doing compulsions. Even when I try so hard to resist them I just end up in a spiral. I miss when I was comfortable in my nonbinary identity and didn't have TOCD and now everything feels wrong and conflicting. I miss when I wasn't depressed and disabled. I know I can never get that person back. I haven't seen that person since high school. Ive spent years with this disorder and i havent gotten better despite therapy and meds. I don't know if I'll ever be happy again.
