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.
I tend to have an ocd meltdown in the middle of night and am alone and scared. Who do you guys turn to ?
Does anyone have hit and run ocd ? Or possibly causing an accident by crossing the middle line and a vechile going into a ditch ?
I might call. Things haven’t gotten better since my last post. No I’m not going to hurt myself, I just need to speak to someone who won’t talk over me or tell me to take it to god or tell me “that’s just life”. Does anyone know where you can get a hug if you don’t live near anyone that’s a friend? That’s so pathetic but I literally just want a hug.
