Hey! I completely understand what you are feeling. I had an intrusive thought earlier that made me depressed, which brought on more thoughts. It is SO hard...but I think that the most fascinating part is that for most people (at least myself) I’ve had thoughts like this since a kid, and I’m still here. Some days are really good, but today was a not so good day. I was so exhausted from thinking that I had to lay in bed because I had no energy. About an hour later, I am feeling a bit better. I turned on Happy station by Pharrell Williams on Pandora. It’s easier to have more positive thoughts when things around you are more positive. Are you able to make an appt. with a therapist on here? I just scheduled one for tomorrow for the same reasons

Thanks so much everyone ?. I feel so tired of chasing after recovery. I’m currently seeing an NOCD Therpist and she’s great, things have gotten so much better since getting treatment and the obsessions I originally came in with have now subsided or gone away but ocd keeps throwing new obsessions my way and I’m halfway through my therapy sessions but I had a spike this week and compusled today. I keep obsessing about a comment my bf made on his fb page and It keeps repeating in my head and i am so tired of starting arguments about it bc I know there isn’t anything I can do to know for sure what he really mean or feels. But I don’t even have a fb but I go on to his page to torture myself with it/ruminate and then I feel so angry after . I have severe jealousy ocd and it ruins my life

I feel like it's got to a point that I just can't deal with stuff on my own anymore. I've tried to help myself with compulsions and thoughts and behaviours and it helps to an extent but I feel like I just need more help. But I don't even know where to start, I've felt so ignored in the past and I don't even know where you can turn to. I'm in the UK so it's difficult, especially considering I'm only 17, to get any help for this kind of thing. I just want someone to talk to, something to help – medication, maybe? I want to try it, I want to see if it would stop the overthinking for a while. Stuff isn't as bad as it has been before, but I feel like I can't just leave this anymore. I just don't know who to turn to or where to go from here.

I’ve been trying my best with ERP and just everything that’s going on. I have severe OCD, GAD, PMDD, panic disorder, recently diagnosed ADHD, and currently experiencing a major depressive episode. Apparently. I was taking a break from this app but I really need support right now. My family is honestly really mean and not understanding of what I’m going through. Right now it’s gotten bad to the point I had to withdrawal from my last semester of university. My only support is my boyfriend and he’s now planning to join the military. I won’t be able to talk to him for 3 months and I feel really scared of being alone with all of this. I know I shouldn’t depend on him to begin with but right now I’m at an extremely low point and I feel like I won’t make it alone. There hasn’t been a single day we haven’t texted and talked in 4 years. I feel really scared, but I don’t want to hold him back. You guys, I feel so sad and terrified right now. I don’t want him to go, he’s all I have.

I’m at the lowest I’ve been I’m in just declining. First time in my life where the thought of ending it popped into my mind. I’m not going to but that’s just how bad it’s gotten. Should I tell someone I know and trust about my mental health battle
