Thank you so much. Don’t apologize. Were in this together. I wish you the best. Did you stop cold turkey? I find that i feel better once im awake a while but my mind will still think to itself that just because i feel good doesnt mean i am good.

Yes, I stopped cold turkey but I had only had the medication for five days. The psychiatrist advised me to stop once it wasn’t doing good. I’m feeling so stupid for having taking them. Like, I keep doubting that it was due to taking the medication that I stayed like this. Like, I know the intrusive thoughts are mine and the medication didn’t create them. But the medication made me feel worse about them and led me to a very depressive episode. And now I’m feeling bad for having been in this state, especially because OCD is so misunderstood and I can’t open up to the people who care about me about this. But I’m trying to go back to normal e I know it takes time. And now I decided treating OCD only in therapy, without medication. And if I try medication again, it’s gonna be only in a while. And about what you said about feeling good, this is so awful. For me it’s like, I CAN’T feel good, I’m not allowed. It’s awful. But deep inside we KNOW we can, we just have to work our minds towards it. We are very good people and we deserve the best.

Thank you im doubg a bit better but still very anxious. Im not sure if the medication im on for a couple weeks that is making me feel this way but its scary. I wake up with my ears ringing and really anxious it feels like ive been tuminating in my sleep but i dont know. Then i cant go back to sleep because the anxiety increases my intrusive thoughts. I just want to know theyre just thoughts you know. I hate them so much.

I have been through something similar this week! I started taking a medication last week and it did NOT do me well at all (I have stopped). :( It seems like the thoughts became worse, to a point where I had only them in my head, and they made me very anxious, and one led to another and then I was drowning in horrible thoughts and they also didn’t let me sleep. I stayed three days extremely DEPRESSED in bed, it was like a nightmare. There was a point when there was nothing in my head and I forgot the meaning of things. :( I’m getting better little by little, but I am still bad and depressed because of all of that. It feels like my life is out of control. :( I’m sorry, I ended up making it about me, cause I need help as well, but just know that you are not alone. There are others like you and the thoughts are only thoughts. You are safe. You deserve everything good that there is in life.

I understand the thinking and staying in bed to forget about it. I too just wanted to sleep because the intrusive thoughts were causing so much anxiety for me.

Pretty Tough Morning
So I’m not sure how many/if any of you are Christians, but I’m assuming this can still make sense to some of you. This morning has been rough. I’m constantly thinking, “am I saved? Have I never been saved and I’m tricking myself into thinking I am? When I’m listening to Christian music am I doing for the right reasons? Is it too late for me?”. Things I know the truthful answers to but yet I still think these thoughts. I don’t understand why. Why do I constantly think about these “what if”’s? My heart always feels so heavy and I feel as if I need to talk to God right then and there to make it stop and go away. But then am I talking to the Lord for the wrong reasons? And the cycle repeats. Thankfully, day one of my therapy is tonight and I’m hoping to find at least a little clarity on this stuff. I’ve had OCD for 7 years and I don’t even know how it works. Any advice?

Do you think I should talk to someone.
I’m at the lowest I’ve been I’m in just declining. First time in my life where the thought of ending it popped into my mind. I’m not going to but that’s just how bad it’s gotten. Should I tell someone I know and trust about my mental health battle

Help please support
I'm struggling severely. Please comment so I have a therapist or someone to talk to. Someone has caused me to spiral in another group.
