Same. My room will go from two extremes: 1. “Stereotypical” ocd clean where I get particular about things and will have a panic attack if specific chemicals aren’t used and if someone even touches one of my things. Very much when my contamination fears are triggered. And 2. “Disgusting tornado” mess lol where I can’t stand the mess but I literally can’t bring myself to clean it mentally. Also I have two cats that add to some mess. Usually this is when I’m slacking off on every single responsibility I have because “I just can’t deal today”.

I also have a baby cat. He’s a little over a year. I feel like the worst mom to him. I wanted a cat my whole life. But this was the worst time to get one (I was given him as a birthday gift) I don’t regret getting him! Not in a million years and I know if I didn’t get him then it wouldn’t be the same cat and I love him so much. It’s just that I was given him shortly (only 2 weeks) after starting a relationship (one I’m currently still in) and my ocd was really bad. Those two things already take up so much time and energy. And my depression makes me not want to do anything. I feel like if I was given him years ago I would have been such a better mom.

I found that when I’m having an anxiety attack or depression is creeping in, my cats are really helpful because they purr and it’s comforting. Also just taking care of a living being gives me a sense of purpose. I feel like I could do better but they are still being fed and taken care of.

I don’t know what I can do. I guess this is more of a depression thing than OCD but who knows. I have been battling this ongoing war within myself for years now and it’s been affecting my academic performance. situation of mine right now: I haven’t done a lot of work for my classes this month and I feel like I’m going to fail the semester again. I don’t know what it is but I can never seem to begin any work. I know I am capable but why can’t I get myself to start? why has this been going on for so long? I don’t understand. I have a history of good grades back in high school before I turned 17. I don’t even know how to describe it. it’s like I’ve been paralyzed and cannot do any work. but I can somehow do offside tasks like pinterest boards or random youtube videos. if I get rid of those, what do I do? I end up sleeping. because I’m tired. I have a low vitamin D deficiency & have been trying to get energy. I’m at a loss. I also bought unnecessary stuff on sunday when I went out with my family. I bought some things for the kids and I ended up buying myself a dress and a few accessories. now I have to work extra to gain that money back doing uber eats because I need it asap. it’s like I don’t want to work, for now. my coworkers who are around my age don’t work as much & I think to myself, “wow, they must be getting in the work done” meanwhile I’m working 3 days a week (which isn’t much) and attending school. I feel like if I change my schedule again, I’ll ruin it for the rest of my driver coworkers. I’m in a lead position at work so having to put on a mask is quite tiring. there’s so much I want to say that I don’t think it will fit in this post. I have booked a mental health session with a school counselor. all I want at the moment is to have my own place and be in a better mental state to take care of my cats. they mean a lot to me but this stupid ass undiagnosed mental issue is getting in the way. sorry for the long rant. I am tired.

Earlier I posted about trying to get back to sitting on my sofa without a blanket covering it. And I did it, but now my day has been ruined. I left for two seconds and my cat decided to sit there, so now it's not clean anymore. This is because sometimes she's had number two stuck to her and no longer trust that she's clean. It took so much for me to just do that and sit without a blanket and now I'm just so done. I'm also scared to walk anywhere in my house. We sometimes get slugs in our conservatory and I don't walk in there anymore because there can be slug slime trails (it's carpet). The thing is, my mum regularly goes in there, my dad too. And then they proceed to walk around the rest of the house without changing shoes or anything. I'm just panicking because I was having a good day and now I feel like I'm isolated to my bedroom.

Idk if im the only one but I've literally just been holed up in my bedroom for the past 3 months and have barely gone out especially in the last 2. I'm too scared to leave and interact with people normally because I feel like a criminal and like someone who doesn't deserve to be around others. But in the same breath, I'm starting to hate my bedroom. It just feels like all my negative emotions are being bottled up and stored in here. I keep telling myself I should go out and take a walk and maybe it will feel better to just be out in the fresh air. But also don't want to because I'm quite lethargic on top of not eating that much either. Just feeling... stuck.
