I am so sorry you feel this way. I had this months ago before treatments when my ocd was very bad :( are you going to a therapist ? Please don’t believe your thoughts?we are with you
Thank you, I appreciate that. And no, but I think I might have to. Been trying to beat it myself with sheer willpower, but I don't think that's enough.
What kind of treatments were the most helpful?
@Fuckheadfuckface Therapy with exposure and I am on 200 mg of Zoloft ! I hope you will feel ok soon
I wish I could sleep long hours. I get a solid three at night then I wake up around 3 more times before just getting up for the day.
I absolutely understand your predicament. I was too the point where I felt that sleeping WAS living and being awake was the lack of living. I was also to the point where I couldn’t leave my house because of the anxiety from my spikes. I couldn’t drive by myself, and going into public anywhere by myself was horrible. I had to walk with my head down while squinting at the same time as to block out people from my view. I cried all the time, and of course slept and slept.
Fuck dude, I feel this. My anxiety, depression, and ocd all work together to tear my self down. Not at rock bottom anymore, and I hope you're doing better now.
I am doing better thanks. I hope you continue on your journey and find mental wellness. I don’t believe OCD can trap us all forever. I think this because I can remember a time long ago when OCD was just three letters to me and meant nothing..at one time us OCD sufferers were standing on solid ground and mentally wholesome..then at some point we somehow started digging that solid ground with a shovel and kept making s bigger and bigger hole. So in that same sense it stands to reason that if we can find a so called missing link and the final pieces of the OCD puzzle we can then start shoveling all that dirt back in that hole and be standing once again on solid unearthed ground...I feel if we can all work together we can find enlightenment.
Thank you for sharing. Came across this post by chance. I like your perspective on overcoming OCD.
Of course! We ARE the answer! Good luck FHFF and JCM.
Currently what I am going through besides work I am in bed I can’t seem to find any motivation anymore
Same here, i'm doing the bare minumum functioning. I work, and I live a very monotonous life. It's so freaking hard to get out of bed and do anything proactive/productive.
@Fuckheadfuckface Same here. I work, eat, sleep, and repeat. I believe there is a T-shirt out there with the same slogan. My couch is an evil place to be. Once I crash on it, good chance I'll be passed out on it.
Done the sleeping thing forever.
The only time my head is quiet. But it's just a stop-gap, I want to use my time more purposefully but my f ing head is so crowded I do nothing.
Absolutely JCM thank you very much.
Thank you, I appreciate the thoughtful response. Reading it just felt right, and i'm glad to hear this from people who can empathize. All supporting eachother to climb out of our pits.
Yes, I literally want nothing more than to just sleep the rest of my life away. If this is how I'm going to live, I dont want to.
My parents also know the extent of my obsessions. I’ve been researching tirelessly on my own time to figure out if all the subtypes of OCD have a common interest or common link. I was thinking if we can figure out what it is then we can learn how to better treat it.
Me all the time I sometimes want to sleep all day
If we met in person, here is my hand ✋. Don't let this weigh you down. I have been in your position before. This feeling won't last forever. Life is strange that way and precious. Get help. We only have one life, we get to live it the way we want.
Twyler guy I’m with JCM on this one. I have been in your shoes as well. Definitely seek out help. We are also all your friends and here if you ever need advice.
I'm currently in therapy but cant get a psychiatrist appointment until Jan 22nd...
My parents also know the extent of my thoughts
*venting* I’m so tired of life. I just woke up, and I feel like going back to bed and sleep until this nightmare passes. This week has been one of the hardest of my life. I don’t think I can face another day of intrusive thoughts, fear, anxiety. I need some moments of relief, but there are none. I wanna have a life again. Anxiety and obsessive thoughts have killed my social life, my ambitions and desires, my happiness. I’ve been fighting for the past 6 months for nothing. I don’t see any improvement. I’m on day 3 of Lexapro and of course i can’t tell if it’s gonna work for me or not. I’m on the first stages of ERP therapy and I still haven’t got any assigned homework to work on, which I really need because I need to feel like I’m doing SOMETHING to help myself with ocd and Gad. I just hope someone could just take out whatever part of my brain isn’t working properly and replace it with a new piece. I don’t wanna feel like a burden to my family or boyfriend anymore. I can’t believe all the damage that I’m causing. I don’t know what to do with all this self hate. I don’t know where to turn to. I seem to have all the help that one could need - therapy, medication, support system. Yet I feel like I can’t spend another day living like this.
I’m so tired of my own head picking me to pieces.. it’s relentless the constant thoughts of disgust and hatred I have for myself. I just want to sleep
