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

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.

i want to give up
I’ve been going through this rough patch for the last four months, and I can already feel an even worse one coming. I just feel scared. And on top of that, I’m going to stop therapy. After everything with my current therapist, I just don’t have the strength to keep trying anymore. I feel hopeless. My head hurts so much, and it’s hard to keep going when everything feels this bad. I just want to cry, hope this feeling passes, and maybe try again if it ever lets up. But right now, it feels like nothing will ever get better. I don’t feel like I can ask for help. I hate that it took me so long to realize this wasn’t the therapist for me. I was too scared of being dramatic, so I let it go on for far too long, and now I feel like I’ve just become a burden-like. I hate that I let it get to that point, especially when I was paying for this. I just want to give up. I feel broken down, and I don’t even want to be okay anymore.

Don't want to live this life
Feeling like I am a burden on my parents as well on me. No my parents never said anything like this. I just want to end this life which is full of mental suffering which can't be explained. Feeling like I will never be able to do anything in my life. I so want to go far away from these things where there will be only peace.
