Please help me

I relate to this in many ways. Honestly, I think it’s just the depletion and the exhaustion from OCD. You get worn out mentally, which totally affects your physical energy as well. I’ve been working on just still trying to do the thing even if I don’t feel like it. Yes, it’s definitely not as enjoyable, but I’m hoping that one day it will be again. It all feels like work right now, but I’m definitely praying that we both get to a place where it doesn’t feel like such a chore anymore. It definitely sucks when you can think back to when you didn’t feel like this. But I’m choosing to believe that my old self still there, just a bit overshadowed by OCD right now, but she’ll be back. 😊

I can relate to this so much. I have lost the ability to like or enjoy anything and all my body wants to do is sleep. I have had a terrible past year which made everything worse. My OCD will not stop with the compulsions and thought spirals. I have had more anxiety and depression, yet at the same time it is like I am numb. Not sure how I feel both incredibly anxious and nothing but it is frustrating. I don’t feel like going out anymore and I have no energy to be around people. Even when my family comes to my house I isolate. I barely can take care of myself and even things I have to do are hard. I also am very sensitive and have noticed that my feelings have disappeared. It made holding a job almost impossible and now I am trying to find a new career even though that is hard when I can’t like anything or enjoy anything. It is brutal and it is very difficult to deal with. I can completely empathize.

Hi, that sounds so frustrating, im sorry you're going through that. I frequently go in and out of depressions. But many times my really sudden mood shifts that feel out of place come from med changes(or need for an adjustment) . If you have a psychiatrist, id recommend reaching out to them about how you're feeling.

I think it’s like a functional freeze I’ve experienced them a couple of times in the past some lasting longer than others what helped me is not fighting it but letting it run its course and indulging things that do bring you joy when you feel like it. It can be really difficult and when I experienced it I found it hard to enjoy conversions , people or even food all I did was lay down but I got better. I tried to change my environment like sleeping somewhere else going home, I just tried to allow myself to stand still. It wasn’t perfect and I felt very angry a lot of the time. Just take your time it gets better :)

This has happened to me but erp will help you recognize your feelings again it takes practice I promise they’re always still there

It takes timeeee just keep doing it and measure your suds and as your levels decrease your feelings and emotions will start to become more balanced but the important thing is not to dwell on the erp after you do it just go back to your normal daily life always. The point is to not dwell and you will slowly learn that you will care less and less over time

Also keep talking to your friends and I mean even when you are in the shittiest of ocds games keep being playful and fun with your friends and family like pushhhh through it and you will start to find joy in it again

It sounds like you are in a state of depression. Do you have a therapist?
