Suffering
I’m so sad all the time and struggle with s*icidal ideation because of my ocd,I think about it all the time I’m in so much pain and therapy isn’t helping.

I’m rookie of this app from taiwan, and i am suffering from ocd for half year. Most of them is about sth i have done and that may “barely”lead to some tragedy. I knew it barely happened but my mind doesn’t agree with it, my mind always show the most awful results to me, like somebody’s death. And an hour ago I suddenly think what if some day I can’t afford the pain from OCD and choose to s*icide, this thought make me soooo scared, I’m with you, we can get better together. Btw my English may not so good.
Are you doing ERP therapy? This type of therapy can feel like it's not working initially this is usually the brain readjusting. Keep moving forwards no matter how slowly or how small the steps are. Each step gets you closer to recovery. You've got this! If you're concerned about treatment talk to your therapist about it, there maybe something they could help you with. 🙏
@Claire Thompson UK No I’m not doing ERP
@lina_.m Which therapy are you doing CBT?
I want to let you know who ever is reading this that God loves you so much. I understand how hurtful and hard OCD can be, as I go through it as well. Please feel free to vent, whichever you’re comfortable with and what ever is needed or have any questions about the Lord. Your lives are so worthy and you’re important as well as cared for. If you’re alright with it, could I share some scripture with you or recommend. If I could help any of you.
I can't stop thinking about ending my life. I feel like I'm not even living, I'm just surviving. Everyone is capable of being a person and functioning and I'm just stuck here avoiding everything. My psychiatrist said my ocd is severe and it will all take time and I'll start erp and I'm already on medication but I just feel so depressed and like I won't be able to handle erp and it's already too late for me. I feel inhuman, it's debilitating. My major theme is just fear or contamination, I can't even make myself a meal I can't touch anything in the kitchen. I get stuck in the shower for 2 hours and when I don't shower because I'm depressed I feel like a walking germ. My hands are a mess, my school work is shit, I avoid and avoid and I'm just so tired of "living" like this. My psychiatrist said they don't have any therapists available right now like.... excuse me? What do you mean u don't have any 😭 I honestly don't even know why I'm typing this becuase nothing helps, nothing ever will. I'm so deep into this I can't get out, my room looks like shit, I can't live in this body anymore, I really can't. I let everyone down, I am and will be such a dissapointment. I don't have any dreams or goals or passions I just wasn't made to be here. I don't know how or who to ask for help like there's nothing anyone can do, I'm already on meds. I can't keep being like this, seeing everyone judge me for acting insane.
My OCD has become so bad and I feel so alone. I have religious OCD (Christianity) and I’ve been doing okay with letting the blasphemous thoughts go in the moment, but I’m so overcome with guilt and shame I can barely function. I can feel okay and hopeful for a few minutes and then I’m reminded of the horrible thoughts and how nothing can take them back and I can’t handle the guilt. I’m becoming a burden to my family and feel so alone. I do not know what to do. Please help.
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.
