I have also been there too. I’m sorry to hear that you’re going through a hard time and are in the hospital. I’ve been hospitalized 4 times due to my OCD. Keep in mind that the staff is only there to help you and you made the RIGHT choice to seek help for yourself. I’ve learned some incredible lessons during my stays at psychiatric hospitals. There is very little judgement there and it is the 1st place I’ve ever felt comfortable enough to just be myself. That is a beautiful feeling! I hope I never have to go back because of my OCD, but I would LOVE to work at one and help people that struggle with the same or similar issues that I do. The psychiatric hospital is the 1st place I’ve ever been that I didn’t feel the pressure to BE something or act a certain way. There was no one to impress. Keep this in mind as this is one of the greatest lessons I’ve ever learned in my life. I’m learning to be myself now in all situations❤️ I’m here for u and wish you a beautiful recovery journey!

You people are some of the most incredible I’ve ever had the privilege to communicate with. I so deeply appreciate your encouraging comments and thoughtful advice. I’m adjusting to hospital life a little more. The food, however, I’ll never get used to haha! I’m just taking it one moment at a time. Thank you all so, so much. You mean so much to me. d a i s y

Been there - hang in. I have no advice for hospital food - it is what it is I'm afraid but try not to worry about the watchful staff - I was on suicide watch years ago with the bars on windows, no mirrors or glass and the 24-7 surveillance...it was weird but remember it's just their job and it's nothing personal. They're there to help you and you'll get better! :-).

Daisy I continue to be so amazed and proud of you for trying to do hard things. Being in the hospital is no vacation. It’s stressful to be in a new environment. It’s a very good chance that everyone is concerned with being judged for their illness who is there and the last thing they would want to do is make others feel that way. Most people with mental health issues are very compassionate because of all Bryce been through. Continue to try to persevere with the unappetizing food. Ask to speak with the dietician to see if you can get your menu more to your liking. I believe in you. You are going to get stronger everyday. Remember this is an investment in yourself.

im not diagnosed, but these past two days have been terrible. i constantly have this underlying feeling that i might do something that i think is gross and i feel like i can’t do anything on my own because otherwise i might do something wrong. like i feel like i constantly have to be in front of people so that i can make sure of my every action. this is so exhausting and I’m so confused. and like i keep getting terrible images and stuff replaying in my head. i also try to recall what happened but i feel like i have false event too. i used to have religious ocd and that eventually stopped completely, but now it feels like all my work getting over that was pointless. also like i feel like i might have contamination ocd but not the typical germ type. I just get terrible images and I can’t remember if those images are true or not even though they’re impossible and i feel terrible. I don’t know if i could ever get over this because even the thought of it is terrible.

Hey today I’m feeling very tired because of my OCD I’m just so tired of it. I feel I’m doing everything to get better. I disregard the thoughts, I’m trying to do things like I don’t have ocd but it doesn’t want to go away. I was doing fine for a long period of time and now I feel like I’m back a square one. It’s been almost 2 months now I’m battling with OCD and I’m just tired. Sure I have moments where it’s better than others, I also have days where I barely have OCD but I also have really bad days like today where I just don’t want to get out of bed. Last time I had a relapse it took my 4 weeks to get out of it I don’t understand why this time it takes me more. I’m starting believing that I will never feel better again. Anyway I’m gonna try to find the strength to get out of bed and to start my day. But I just wanted to share. It’s such a horrible illness.

Hey guys! So I struggle with OCD, especially harm, relationship and moral stuff and I am somewhat recovered now. However, my current girlfriend has started showing signs of OCD but it’s abou5 something I don’t know much about so I wanted to see if anyone on here had thoughts about it. She is constantly thinking about food (when to eat it, what is healthy, what is too much, what is too little) and controls the thoughts by giving in and controlling her entire day around food. She don’t really know the feeling of being full. She never starved herself and always eats, but then she feels extremely guilty afterwards. Her thoughts do have to do a lot with her body image and not gaining weight but also not losing any either. Does this sound like ocd or an eating disorder?
