It could be a combination of it all, tbh; just know you're not alone!

Bruh I ain’t got no friends but I’ve got ppl to talk to if I need help. The reason I don’t have friends is not because I’m a bully it’s because the ppl who I be with in my adulthood is the ppl I can consider friends. Dats on periottttt

Sounds like all three could contribute. And I think some cognitive reframing could really help you. Have you learned CBT with a licensed therapist? OCD, anxiety, and depression all have a tendency to make us see the world through certain cognitive distortions that make everything seem magnified, black/white, and pessimistic. But our thoughts/feelings are just that: feelings. They aren’t necessarily true and CBT is a very useful tool for starting to see the world more clearly. Seeing the world as more neutral and without judgment can really change your life.

thank u for this! and yes I do cbt with a licensed therapist and we go over cognitive distortions which I have a lot of and I sometimes can recognize them but it’s really hard to get myself to stop thinking in those ways :/

@rlr Don’t worry about stopping yourself from thinking it, just focus on reframing it once you do think it. The more you practice challenging your thoughts, the more likely they are to change over time. But they don’t need to be suppressed and you shouldn’t feel guilty or bad about having them. That’s just how your brain works right now and it’s very changeable with practice. Keep reframing! And don’t beat yourself up so much when it’s hard. It can be REALLY hard to do when we’re suffering.

Ugh I feel you. I feel like such a burden because of my ocd. I’m constantly complaining about my anxiety and I’m always freaked out about something. I feel like none of my friends like me anymore because they act so annoyed with me. It sucks. I wish they could understand that it’s not easy to get by everyday with all these different thoughts going around in our heads. We want help can’t help it, and sadly they don’t bother to try and understand and support us. I guess it makes sense, not having ocd makes it easy to judge us who do have it and view our obsessions as crazy and a waste of time. I’m working on having my friends understand how my mind works and they’re getting better. I hope things get better for you too. If anyone is judging you for your anxiety take the time to explain to them How it makes you feel. They won’t understand on their own. I’ve learned that.

school
Its been like 3 weeks of school and its just been really difficult and stressful 😭 ive had two tests and i havent gotten them back yet but i have a feeling i didnt do as well as i wanted to on either of them and that scares me because i usually score perfectly and well. And my classmates are so good at everything 😭 and ik this is kinda bad but i hate seeing people do better in things im supposed to be good at… like math is one of my strongest subjects but i messed up on a few questions so bad and i feel so stupid and now im scared that im gonna be like this for the rest of the semester 😞 it scares me. Plus all my classmates talk to me sometimes and all and i be as nice as possible but i still feel invisible- even with friends i just feel like im bothering them and i feel like im just alone and have no one to talk to bc either no one cares or i feel like burden and annoying and unlovable 💀

Living with uncertainty
I feel like no one cares about me... Im struggling in college and it just feels like I cant catch a break... Ive made bad choices that make me a bad person... I have to be uncertain about worst case POCD scenarios that may or may not have happened unknowingly... I genuinely dont feel like any one cares about me... and if I pass away, ill be laughed at and forgotten by everyone... Im alone with no gf, barely any friends, and I cant even be certain that my POCD fears of unknowingly cybering with a minor did or didnt happen... im stuck in hell...

Is it in my head
I have constantly been feeling like if I hit one arm, I have to hit the other and if I set something down and it just didn’t look right or feel right I had to do it again or I had to move it to a different spot in my room I’ve had never been a clean freak, which is mainly what I get told is OCD And I don’t know if I should even have this app. I don’t know if I actually have it. I’m constantly worried that I did something in my past that harmed others and that’s why people don’t like me or I’m constantly worried People are constantly watching me and I don’t know if that’s OCD or if I have it so please tell me I will delete this app and never think of it again if I don’t I just really wanna know
