I am very sad. I have obsessive thoughts from night to morning or in a week. I am scared. I am 23 years old now. I have been suffering from obsessive thoughts for eight years. I am not from a rich family. Please someone help me. I can't do anything because the thoughts don't make me progress. I have no friends at university. No one talks to me.Help me, help me, please.
Hi I’m so sorry you’re feeling this way. Just know, you’re not alone. We all have a form of what you’re going through. What’s going on?
Just to add, Reddit is also a great place to talk to people too. Look up the OCD community.
Hi. I got a message that you posted something. I’m sorry you’re going through this. I know how you feel. I have obsessive thoughts from mornings to nights as well. I know the thoughts are hard to ignore & for me they feel real. I try to remember they are not true thoughts. For me it’s very hard & I find myself doing compulsions but sometimes I get the strength to say “don’t listen to them, they’re not true thoughts”. I don’t know if this really helps but I’m sharing my experience. I also like music & if you do maybe get lost in music & it may take your mind off of your thoughts for a little bit. Is there anything that interests you in your university to join? Do you have a roommate who you can connect with? Hope this helps a little.
I'm really sorry you're feeling this way. It’s incredibly tough dealing with OCD, especially when it feels like it's been running your life for so long. I can totally relate, and I know how exhausting it is. Please know you're not alone in this, even though it might feel like it sometimes. Have you been able to see a therapist or talk to someone who specializes in OCD? I know it can be intimidating to reach out, but it really helped me when I finally did. You don’t have to feel alone in this. Here are some places you can search for help: https://iocdf.org/find-help/?_listing_types=iocdf_clinic%2Ciocdf_program%2Ciocdf_support_group%2Ciocdf_provider%2Ctreatment_group. I’m not sure if affordability is an issue, but some of these places offer payment plans or lower-cost options, and some even have scholarships available. If you give me a bit more information, I can help you find resources that might work for you. You are not alone in this, and I’m here to support you however I can.
Thank you very much
They’re getting more intense.. My mind wonders if what i’m feeling is really OCD.. what if it’s not and i’m in denial? Why is my life like this, a constant loop of fears and stress holding me back. I just want to live. To be the kind boy everyone knows. To make and be a difference. There’s sometimes I wish I could stay asleep.. to rest for a while. To hibernate all these feelings away. But I know that’s not how it works. Each tear I shed is a reminder of the hell I live every day when I open my eyes. I don’t know who I am anymore. I don’t know why I am anymore. Please someone.. advice, words of positivity, something.. I feel so alone. I’m scared. I don’t know where else to go.
Hi Im a 15 year old girl and about a month ago i started having these toughts about harming myself and other people. It was verry draining for me so thats why me and my friends stayed toghether for a week and have fun. Now i started having it again and i cant help but think im a pysochapth. Today I started breaking down and i dont know what to do. Are these the since of OCD or is something really wrong with me? Please help.
I feel like it's got to a point that I just can't deal with stuff on my own anymore. I've tried to help myself with compulsions and thoughts and behaviours and it helps to an extent but I feel like I just need more help. But I don't even know where to start, I've felt so ignored in the past and I don't even know where you can turn to. I'm in the UK so it's difficult, especially considering I'm only 17, to get any help for this kind of thing. I just want someone to talk to, something to help – medication, maybe? I want to try it, I want to see if it would stop the overthinking for a while. Stuff isn't as bad as it has been before, but I feel like I can't just leave this anymore. I just don't know who to turn to or where to go from here.
