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’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.

some days I wake up with so much dread and guilt. It makes it so hard to keep going. I open my eyes and I’m hit with a wave of nausea and terror. I feel ashamed of my compulsions and my OCD. I feel like a monster for my checking compulsions. For momentarily sexualizing things that shouldn’t be sexualized out of anxiety. I’m ashamed of a lot that I give into because of anxiety. Confessing things that are meaningless to my boyfriend. I feel so awful and unworthy of existing and of love. I feel hopeless I don’t want to keep pushing, the more I push the more meta my OCD becomes and the more guilt I feel for this mental illness. The more confusing it becomes to do ERP. If compulsions are a choice, they feel like life or death and it’s driving me insane, I beat myself up so badly over them I’m scared of compulsions, I’m scared of thoughts, I’m scared to be awake, I’m even scared of sleeping because my intrusions and compulsions haunt me there too. I spend my dreams trying to explain or justify my OCD and compulsions to people. I’m exhausted, I want this to stop so badly. My severe OCD isn’t feeling any less severe and it’s been months. I don’t want to keep questioning my every move but I’m so hyperaware of everything I do. I’m so tired. Some days I don’t even have tears to cry with. I’m just so full of despair and shame

I'm struggling severely. Please comment so I have a therapist or someone to talk to. Someone has caused me to spiral in another group.
