I do the same thing! I freak out and want to gtfo and then I start freaking out again because everything is different and unpredictable. But the issue for me right now is that my "normal" environment is still rather volatile. Not as volatile as my childhood environment but still there isn't a lot of consistency. I feel like I can't win. That's why I downloaded this app and am seeking professional help as well. We will get through this together!

@pure093 I dug myself into a hole trying to raise my BIL's 9 year old for him with my husband. So I also feel like my life is kinda over before it has even started. My husband and I (once I get more serious treatment with a professional and probably medication) want to start trying for our own kids. We got married the end of Feb and always say it's like we got launched 10 years into our marraige right away. Shit is tough. My childhood was crappy and while BIL is a good person, he is a single dad of 3 and has a 4th with someone else. And his younger 2 from the first 3 are disabled so it is extremely hard for him. It was hard for me to see needs and not jump in, but fortunately my husband's parents are going to help take a lot of the responsibility so that I can focus on healing and we can focus on our lives. I guess part of me just feels guilty for not finishing what we started.

I’m experiencing this too. I delete apps all the time just to bring them back. You are not alone at all ?

I do the same thing! I’m 27 and I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve deactivated and reactivated my Facebook account. I hit an emotional rough patch yesterday, so I’m debating whether or not to take a break from it...21 and 22 is so young! You’ve got plenty of time ❤️

Same here man. I feel like I'm just wasting my time everyday. I have many plans but I dunno, I just can't do it.

Same!!!! And my goals are so simple so it always is so frustrating because I feel like the lifestyle I want is that of the most basic functioning adult.

Ugh. It’s honestly been discouraging me a lot. I feel like each day I sit on my phone the whole day. I think it’s been was harder during quarantine. Then I catch myself being down on myself that I’m on my phone so much. :(

It is hard! I have been binging YouTube which is like the WORST thing to be binging for me when I am having issues.

@christinezak I have been trying to replace vids with reading. I find it helps but it can be hard to focus at first

I’m so confused if the breakup was the right decision I felt so confident about it in the moment but now I feel the opposite I don’t understand how my emotions can switch up on me this much

Thinking of deleting NOCD app
I feel like having the app is kind of keeping me stuck. I stopped doing therapy after my therapist left abruptly, but I like having the community here. I would feel like I’m abandoning y’all, but it might be better for my mental health? I’m just not sure. I feel like deleting is giving in somehow, but I can always redownload. For the friends I’ve made on here, just know that if I go, I still very much care about you and your wellbeing and recovery! ❤️

I don’t know what is going on
i swear I’m either schizophrenic or my ocd is just THIS bad. my phone has been acting weird, like my screen turns black and then it’ll turn back on to where i was (i guess it freezes?) when that happens i immediately panic. my head tells me that my phone is acting like that because im being watched and the police will show up to my house. i had a lot of screenshots on my phone from social media, it was like outfit ideas (outfits on other people, influencers) I went through and deleted all those photos, i feel like they looked bad/suspicious.
