WHY is it so bad?? who was gonna tell me 16 was just DREAD, my ocd has flared up worse than ever and i can’t go to therapy weekly anymore. im getting worse and i can’t do it. I just want to give up.
OCD as a teen is awful. To be honest I’m not sure how I survived, I still wake up every day surprised I’m living. I wasn’t supposed to *actually* make it to adulthood.
Damn I got ocd when I was 16. I thought the same thing, why me? I was only 16 and fearing every day for many hours. So much DREAD. Please dont give up. I know it's so fcking hard. So so hard. I promise there will be better days. It's not always going to be terrible I'm so sorry you feel this way. Hang in there ❤️🩹
Im early 30s and only recently diagnosed ocd. Honestly be grateful youre working with things now. My coping has always been masking and fooling everyone around me everything is fine or im lying about everything to cope and throw people off my tracks to have more alone time (all alone time). You can can do it and youll be better for it by my age than i am now. Be grateful. Do some box breathing. Spend some time doing what fills you up or with someone you always laugh with.
@aquasurf Thank you❤️
my ocd has also flared up really bad lately and it’s hard because I’m not able to go to therapy every week either so it feels very isolating :( but you’re not alone I know it’s hard when you don’t have an outlet like therapy as often, it feels like you’re bottling everything up. maybe try reminding yourself of “normal” times or times where you felt nice and let yourself know that you can get back to that and that this won’t last forever 🫶
@Summ3r_ This is so helpful thank you.
