I’ve had ocd all my life, so I can relate and I’m sorry. It’s not better to end it. Sometimes I have those thoughts. It is especially hard when I have a good streak and then suddenly feel terrible. I just have to constantly remind myself that there are a lot of things in life that make fighting ocd worth it, even through the really bad times.

@ckate Thanks for kind words I am just clueless on how to tackle OCD thoughts I have done CBT but I can't seem to connect it with my OCD intrusive thoughts.Cant disregard the thoughts I have to analyse ,if I don't then I won't be able to think what I want to think without feeling guilty

@ckate I agree. Do you have a therapist or someone you can talk to? Sometimes just talking helps me to feel a lot better. Also, don’t be afraid to call a suicide hotline if you need to (1800-273-8255) . I also think something that helps me is allowing myself to feel proud and accomplished when I don’t give into ocd, even if I do a few hours later. Another thought is to try the app headspace if you haven’t before. It’s great and has helped my ocd some over time

@PureOSushrut We are all in this, we understand how you feel, because it's our daily battle and that's what makes you amazing, because you've done a great job.

I always feel like my OCD is the worst and sometimes it is among the OCDers I speak with but one thing I know is everyone thinks they have it the worst. So try to remember we are battling this together and any future solutions that come up will be shared. My OCD has only mildly gotten better and to a degree that I’m not satisfied with At All! But there are developments that are being introduced that give me hope and I’m 54! If I can hang in there I think anyone can. Mine has been so bad in relation to the field I’m in, music, that I feel like I need to write a book. It’s been crazy but then again life is crazy, look at Covid!

Feeling awful like this won't last forever. I wouldn't want you to miss out on feeling better. I wonder if there is something you could have in your life which can't be taken from you by your fears. So even when your life seems broken and you don't want to be you, there can be something you can hold onto, something good to live for. For some people this can be their body, so they use the gym or get tattoos because they can put their focus into it, and for some people it's art. So even if life was awful and you were hated or alone and all your worst fears were true or even if you still struggle with your OCD, you could have something for self expression which can't be threatened by your OCD.

Fortunately it's not endless. Everything cones in waves and right now you are cast out, lost as sea. Soon you will ride the sea back up.

What if I don’t deserve..
A good life, success, healing, beautiful things? ⚠️ Important: please don’t read if this is triggering. No one should think this way about themselves, of course you deserve it all. I struggle with real events and harm OCD. My worst fear is being a bad person, causing harm or doing the wrong thing. These thoughts haunt me all the time and cause me to essentially throw my life away. I don’t go out, pursue opportunities, etc. because what if I don’t deserve them? I think of the worst things I’ve ever done all the time. The things that I’m most ashamed of. Like a broken record that’s all I replay in my head. Doesn’t matter if it was 5 or 10 years ago. And I beat myself up for not doing better. And I just don’t know how to move past it. I’ve read a lot of quotes and books about self help and love and acceptance (e.g. once you know better, do better). But for me I feel like I have to hate myself forever. I won’t ever get a clean slate, there’s a permanent stain on my record. I just can’t forgive myself, whether other people know it or not, I can’t allow myself to move forward. It’s about integrity for me. Does anyone relate? How do you do it? I’m so sorry if you’re also struggling. I don’t wish this for anyone. Please keep fighting, you’re not alone. ❤️

idk
I feel like I’ll never lead a normal life again with OCD, my thoughts have begun to be convince especially about POCD. I feel like so sad and down that this will be my life forever. I’ll never get to fall in love again without intrusive thoughts. I’ll never be worth falling in love with. I can never be intimate again. I’m just done, my life is over. I can’t even look at my nephew and niece anymore without the smile fading. It feels like I’m so nasty and then my brain convinces me this is how I feel. That there’s some part of me that is a p*do and that’s it. I’m a disgusting human being for that. I just feel hopeless
