I totally get that. Fortunately you’re still breathing, so the life force isn’t gone and you can claim it back. I know this to be true because in my darkest it had taken me completely over. I didn’t even know i had ocd. I was just so wrapped up in depression and so fucking lost and confused about everything. I had believed everything anybody ever said about me or to me that was bad. I only saw the worst in me. I had no forseeable way out of it and was ready to make a final decision without regret. I felt it was the only option i had because nobody wanted or needed me, i ruined everyone’s life. Fortunately, i had a moment of clarity and decided otherwise. I decided after that i would figure out what the hell was going on inside me. It took a while, but i started therapy. I’ve learned so much since, so much i misunderstood, so much bullshit i believed to be true, so much i hated about myself i have since learned (am learning) to show compassion for. It’s been and will continue to be a journey, gladly. The comments i used to get were much like what you hear because in all honestly, it was taking everything good in me and for me and fucking it all up and i looked like i felt. I was angry, confused, sad, lonely, and in my case, was mostly self inflicted because i believed the lies i told myself, what others have told me throughout my life. When i learned to have compassion for the me i hated, it lifted the veil over my heart and eyes and i could finally progress towards who I’ve tried to be my entire life, honest with myself. That’s a lot, sorry it wasn’t short and sweet lol, but i hope what i shared helps.
@Someonemaybe It’s okay I appreciate the comment, I hope one day I can recover like you :(
@Fcukocd Start today, even in the smallest most seemingly unnoticeable way. Are you in of any of the support groups they have here? By the way, this post you shared, that’s another way to start. You’re showing up for yourself, looking for answers, reaching out. Keep doing that. Btw, i fucking love your name fcukocd, awesome!
@Someonemaybe I’m not, I haven’t been able to find a way to access them unfortunately, and thanks, wanted my username to reflect how I feel about OCD
@Fcukocd It does, perfectly. Wish I was as creative😁. To access the groups, go to your therapy tab, scroll down till you see support groups, then click view groups. There’s several different subjects. If you don’t see several different ones, let me know. I’m not an admin, but there’s an issue with some people’s support group views. I can reach out and try to get it corrected. If you can, join one and even just listen in. It’s so worth it! I didn’t think it would be. I pictured a bunch of people whining about their lives. Not very nice i know, and i was wrong. You don’t have to talk, but they do appreciate you having your camera on and mic muted unless there’s something you want to say or share. Let me know if you have any issues, I’ll do what i can to help any way i can.
@Someonemaybe I’ll have a look, thanks!
@Fcukocd Awesome! You’re very welcome
My OCD wants to kill me. I have been crying to the point of nausea and the idea of carrying this disorder for the rest of my life has put my body in a state of fight or flight for well over 5 years. I’m exhausted, I’m tired, no one messages me because all I talk about is my OCD because that IS my day, week, month etc. I’m a struggling alcoholic because of this fucking disorder and it’s too much, I want to drink so bad but I know I’ll mess with my medication in a pretty scary way. But at this point I’m starting to not care. I’m scared and it feels like a bad dream where no one understands what I’m going through. Sorry for the word dump, I need to vent here because at least you guys get it.
Just been discharged from hospital outpatients after operation and 3 month recovery. There was an ultrasound on eyes and possibility of radiotherapy treatment for a spot there, but turned out it was benign. OCD was quiet during this time. However, now OCD has come back big time, and I'm wishing I hadn't been so fortunate with diagnosis. Tired of going through this like groundhog day, and worried that there will come a time where I won't cope. Can't tell anymore if this is OCD or I'm just losing my mind. All plans and dreams gone now.
My symptoms are clear as day and they literally have disrupted every single thing in my life but I ask for help and they tell me to just change ,stop doing that,stop being weird,or they tell me it's in my head Im going crazy here and I don't know what to do.some one please if you have any advice id love to hear it Thank you.
