I'm here for you too. Often times life feels too hard to continue when I don't see a way out, but I hope you keep fighting. We could just lay down and accept it. Life has no guarantees, but a chance at something better has to be worth trying. Keep going, it's f ing hard but just keep going. One thing at a time.

I understand this. I always try to imagine myself with someone who’s ocd has affected them as much as its affected me and that we’d always be there for each other

Yes, I've thought about this too. But it must be tough to find people with ocd out there, mustn't it? Mostly because no one talks about this illness casually - Only in apps like this people talk about it openly outside of therapy. So I guess it would really be lucky to find someone so specific when we seem to be hidden out there. It's really sad that pure O themes are so tabu and hard to be understood. That's why no one really knows how hard it is to deal with ocd.

It's rough but me and the people on this app care and want to see you get better. I overthink what seems like for literally everything and about the weirdest things so your not alone. But you have to dare to think positive about yourself. You will find someone you will live happy. Everyone latches on the bad stuff cuz if it was good it wouldn't bother you at all. I need to think more positive about myself. Sometimes I can give plenty of advice but never take any. Head up girl. You got this

Thank you so much for both advices. It made my eyes fill with tears. Sometimes all we need is someone to listen and maybe comfort us, and tonight you were here for me. I'm grateful. It's very easy to drown in negativity when it's all your mind can come up with, both when awake and asleep, so receiving a bit of attention from people who undestand what we go through from time to time (not trying to sound like an attention seeker) can be really nice.

Aw wish I could give you a real hug. I don't know you, but I genuinely care for you and the others on this app because I see myself. A lot of us are here, so if you ever need to talk or vent we're here. ?

I can't stop thinking about ending my life. I feel like I'm not even living, I'm just surviving. Everyone is capable of being a person and functioning and I'm just stuck here avoiding everything. My psychiatrist said my ocd is severe and it will all take time and I'll start erp and I'm already on medication but I just feel so depressed and like I won't be able to handle erp and it's already too late for me. I feel inhuman, it's debilitating. My major theme is just fear or contamination, I can't even make myself a meal I can't touch anything in the kitchen. I get stuck in the shower for 2 hours and when I don't shower because I'm depressed I feel like a walking germ. My hands are a mess, my school work is shit, I avoid and avoid and I'm just so tired of "living" like this. My psychiatrist said they don't have any therapists available right now like.... excuse me? What do you mean u don't have any 😭 I honestly don't even know why I'm typing this becuase nothing helps, nothing ever will. I'm so deep into this I can't get out, my room looks like shit, I can't live in this body anymore, I really can't. I let everyone down, I am and will be such a dissapointment. I don't have any dreams or goals or passions I just wasn't made to be here. I don't know how or who to ask for help like there's nothing anyone can do, I'm already on meds. I can't keep being like this, seeing everyone judge me for acting insane.

I’m really down and don’t have anyone i feel i can turn to. I’m just so tired of living as myself. I hate who i love with including myself. I feel so worthless. Having ocd on top of it makes me feel like im just a waste of space. I dont know how to stop feeling this way. Or if i deserve to. That’s all :(

I can't live with OCD anymore. It's ruining my life. I feel like I'm being constantly bullied in my own mind all day everyday. I don't know if what I think and feel is ever real or normal or okay, what is me and what is the OCD thoughts. I don't know if any of my experiences are normal. I'm exhausted from picking apart every single conversation I ever have with anyone until I'm strung out by a vague and ambiguous feeling of guilt. I'm tired of feeling like I'm a bad person and feeling scared all the time and not knowing why and having my brain spin me out on an endless spiralling train of thoughts that never goes anywhere and just makes me feel disconnected from everything and everyone around me. I don't know what I feel and if what I feel is normal or if anything I am doing is real and actually me or if I'm 'losing my mind.' I don't even know if this makes any sense. I get into these states of mind where every thought in my head and everything I feel and perceive makes me question my own sanity. I don't know if anyone likes me because I have absolutely no concept of what I am actually like. I feel completely lost and confused CONSTANTLY.
