That’s the thing that hurts the worst I e been on more medications then I can count and have seen multiple therapists and I’m supposed to start a new program in a week but I’m just terrified it’s not going to work because I don’t know if I can handle much more of this. I’ve lost so much trust in mental health care and to make matters worse I just got dumped over the phone by my boyfriend who I met at an ocd support group because he said I was too emotional for him so I just feel like I’m a lost cause and I hate it
I’m am so sorry... I don’t even know what to say... I am so incredibly sorry. It is really unfortunate that mental health care can’t always be trusted, I have heard that too many times. I really hope you can find the strength to continue. Maybe this new program will be that light at the end of the tunnel, maybe it will be what you’ve been looking for, but maybe it won’t. There is something that works, you just have to find it. And I know it hurts, but if your boyfriend had the audacity to dump you over the phone and say it’s because your too emotional, good riddance. Don’t dwell on it, he wasn’t right for you. I wish you the best. You will get through it!
Praying for u Sarah!
From what You’ve written I am guessing you aren’t attending therapy? Or on any meds? If you aren’t I would seriously encourage you to seek help from and OCD certified therapist. Also if your OCD is really bad you might want to see a psychiatrist about possible taking meds to help with the beginning of therapy. For me therapy helped but more than anything getting medication is what gave me my life back and I know that is not the case for everybody but that was my personal experience. Therapy, specifically ERP is the best long term treatment for OCD, so I would strongly encourage you to look into it and if it is unavailable or too expensive where you live, there is always other resources online and on this app. I wish you the best and good luck.
I don’t know if I’m ever going to get better, if I’m ever going to feel good, if I’m ever going to be able to carry on with this 10 years down the road. It’s torture with no exit, for me recently. Every time I bring up my OCD around family, they get annoyed. I can’t go to friends because it has only been of temporary relief. I am literally tearing up as I write this. I’m afraid I’m so close to convincing myself of the horrible lies my OCD has been telling me. I just can’t, I don’t know if there’s anyone or thing that can make me feel better. It’s been like lifting gigantic boulder up a steep mountain the entire day—and I could be crushed by it if not careful. If there is a god, why must he put me through this? I have already been through some many enough hard times in life, this OCD has only magnified any insecurities, anxieties, feeling of loneliness, self hate, and negative emotions.
It ruins every single day I don't feel like I'm self I have no self worth left I'm a constant mess I'm constantly panicking I can't do this anymore everything triggers me every single day is something new iv been struggling with this for ten years every single day is hell I haven't even eaten in days bearly I spend days obsession and my partner has to help me and it's putting strain on our relationship I can't even express how low I am and how I can't do this anymore I'm constantly having. Seizers from stress I ocd In my sleep it's constant hell everything triggers me I can't do anything without conpoltions I'm constantly in fight or flight and frozen in fear every single day I can't do this anymore
I’m feeling so hopeless. Every aspect of my life has been affected by ocd. Every single part of it. Every action that I take, ocd. Every thought I have, ocd. I don’t know how much longer I can do this for. I’m really not seeing a way out of it. Every relationship is affected. The person I love the most in this world, ocd affected. I don’t have anything anymore. I hate myself so much. I hate that I let my ocd ruin my life.
