I cannot help but feel exhausted as I go through life. It feels like I've lost the spark in me. And I'm pushing myself for no cause.

i feel this so much :( before my ocd flared up i was doing great, got in my first relationship, and was on a roll with my current hyperfixation... but when it hit, it made me so depressed and anxious i can no longer enjoy any of my hobbies or interests, and no matter what i do there is always a sense of unease... it has been months and i have considered giving up but we all need to hang in there! ocd is a demon and no matter how strong it seems we cant let it win. sending you a virtual hug.
I've felt that way before many times. OCD can take away your motivation for life and carrying on. I pray that you'll be able to find inner peace with God as you carry on through this struggle. Don't give up friend. Surrender all of your cares and worries to God and He will sustain you and be your helper and friend in the storm. God bless. :)
I’m really sorry you’re feeling this way. That sounds so heavy, and I just want you to know that it’s okay to feel this way. Life can be exhausting, and it makes sense that you’re feeling drained. But these feelings won’t last forever; they come and go, just like thoughts do. Sometimes, we just have to take a break, sit with our feelings, and care for ourselves a little extra. No matter how it feels right now, you are still here, and that matters.
Thank you. I needed to hear that.
@Lost&Found I hope you have a better day tomorrow.❤️
@AnonymityK I wish you the same.
I've gotten diagnosed with OCD and I'm in therapy. But I'm worried that I don't have OCD/that I got misdiagnosed. And recently I'm worried that I've just gotten myself into a habit of thinking of dirty minded or just plain old terrible things after I see/hear certain things because I feel like I need to prove I have OCD or else I'm faking(sometimes this goes away). Or that I'm just mimicking symptoms of ocd to cope with real problems I may have and that im just really deep into denial. I don't know...I'm just so tired. I mean, what if I really am what I think I am and this is my brains only way of coping? I don't even really feel anything towards most of the thoughts anymore either I just know they go against my values and I don't want them. I don't know if that's because I'm so mentally exhausted, I just don't care, or that the thoughts are true and I'm comfortable with them.
I feel like I’ll never lead a normal life again with OCD, my thoughts have begun to be convince especially about POCD. I feel like so sad and down that this will be my life forever. I’ll never get to fall in love again without intrusive thoughts. I’ll never be worth falling in love with. I can never be intimate again. I’m just done, my life is over. I can’t even look at my nephew and niece anymore without the smile fading. It feels like I’m so nasty and then my brain convinces me this is how I feel. That there’s some part of me that is a p*do and that’s it. I’m a disgusting human being for that. I just feel hopeless
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.
