Where does one go at the end of the road?
Do you call someone? Look for your compass? Or runaway?

I want to do all 3. The first thing I did was pray to God.

I understand your feeling. And yes, talking to someone is very helpful. Also getting into an NOCD therapy and learning their tools and practices are a game changer. Sometimes in our journey with OCD, we have to make a new road. I used to try to get my old life back but now I understand that I am a new me and the old road does not benefit me. So I’ve paved a path and made a new road using ERP and the practices I was given. I know OCD is hard. But the more you practice ERP and learn to sit with the discomfort the stronger you will become, I promise. There is life with OCD. I’ve been diagnosed five years. I’ve had it for 10. I never saw myself living a normal life. But now I am married with three kids and there is Light in my life now. Keep fighting never give up. We are all in this together.

I am also a man of faith. I used to see this as a curse that I was given this. But now as crazy as it may seem. I see this as a blessing. Maybe I was given this to help other people see the light at the end of the tunnel. Because there is a light.

Does anyone else have driving OCD?
It’s like I drive a little ways on the main road and then something in my head says danger turn around and I do! I don’t k ow what’s dangerous though. I feel like I’ll never get past this and I’m so frustrated

What to do
It becomes so difficult when you don't know what to do when you are feeling extremely irritated and frustrated and cannot communicate with others as they might feel disgusted. Nothing seems helpful.

Anxious my world is crashing
I'm really scared and alone and I don't know how much I can handle! Briefly I lost my whole family and got abandoned too, and the adopted family I currently live with we are having conflicts with each other because they want to control everything about my life friends clothes times of sleep food drinks everything!! I have OCD very bad intrusive thoughts and they don't help at all but at least i have a place to sleep in and food and they aren't that bad after all and thank god they saved me but They are very much dependent on me on everything at home, and the mom treat me like garbage sorry for the word but these days it's been so bad we had alot of fights and i feel like she will abandon me too soon, I know I should have left them earlier but I don't have any where else to go and I don't have the courage to be whole alone!!! I'm crashing I'm terrified and many senarios are on my head and it feels like I'm living in a nightmare, should I obey her? But my life and my mental health would be much more bad, or leave them and face the world alone??? Please tell me anything I want to have hope that everything is going to be okay..
