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.

Hiii. So I’ve been having not so great a day today and recently. It’s honestly not even involving OCD and more my general anxiety and depression. It’s just stemming from an issue that I’m stressing over and struggling with. I’ve been feeling kind of alone, but I’ve been reminding myself of the community I have on here and that’s a great comfort. If anyone is in need of any help please let me know. I’d love to help ❤️❤️

Getting worse again
Ive relapsed pretty hard with my anxiety and depression, and ocd thoughts. I was doing so well for months and just suddenly everything feels so hard again. This week has been extra hard, I haven't had much energy do to much at all. It's like I've forgotten all the ways to handle my thoughts. I don't think I'm looking for tips or anything I just want to write this and maybe talk to someone here. Anyone here who's in a similar situation?

I feel like death
My house is a complete disaster, yet I’m too depressed to clean it because I know it won’t come out perfect like I would strive for it to be. I know I’m just going to get aggravated and give up on myself, so I’m afraid to even try. On top of that, my relationship is falling apart. I’m always anticipating the worst and acting out on it. I barely leave the house or have any friends anymore. I’m sinking back into a dark place, the dark place I was in almost 3 years ago when my mom passed away, somewhere that took a great deal of strength to get out of, yet I’m sinking and drowning again. My boyfriend seems to judge me now instead of being a supporter, I think it’s because I get angry and he takes it personal. In all reality, I’m mad at myself most of all because I can’t dig myself out of this nasty headspace. I feel isolated and trapped. I’ve let everything go. Is there anybody out there who can talk to me? I feel so alone.
