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 know I keep talking about This but I’m too tired :( I’m really struggling and I don’t know what to do anymore. I feel like I might be the only person who experiences this in the way I do. It’s gotten so bad that during intimacy or self-pleasure, I feel like I’m acting on a thought — like my body is moving because of it. It’s terrifying and deeply hurtful. The moment it happens, I immediately panic, try to rewind everything in my head, and ruminate to figure out what I was thinking at that exact second… but I can never remember. That makes it even worse. feel so lost and hopeless, like I’ll never be able to heal or move on from this. People tell me “it’s just OCD,” but it doesn’t feel like OCD to me. It feels like I’m the exception — like no one else truly experiences it like this, especially the part where it feels like I physically responded to a thought. I know people say “others go through this too,” but my mind keeps saying, “not like this, not this specific thing.”Sometimes I just wish I could go back and relive those moments so I could be sure what happened, but I know that’s not possible. I feel so stuck in guilt and doubt that I don’t even know who I am anymore. I’m scared I’m a bad person and that I’ll always feel this way. I’ll never be free or be the same again everyday I live with deep depression

Please help. I have felt so off/wrong all day. I constantly worry that the “bad guy” is going to get me. I have awful thoughts and I constantly want God to know that I don’t mean these thoughts. I am at a point in my therapy where I need to choose to use my ERP but it feels too scary. I then do compulsions, which makes the OCD worse, which makes me want to use ERP less. And the cycle goes on. I am currently sitting in my car crying because I feel so lost and exhausted. I’m not supposed to figure out my thoughts, but today I just went into a spiral of sadness and depression, thinking that I will always feel like this. When my thoughts got really bad at the end of the day, I tried to use ERP even though I was shaking and not believing my responses and I ended up feeling like I missed something and that I gave into the “bad guy.” I have no one to talk when I’m not doing therapy twice a week. I am alone and have no one to talk to when I am like this… please help

(21+ ONLY PLEASE: TRIGGER WARNING) I’m just so sick of it. I’m letting it win. I’m letting it beat me. I’m losing. I’ve been seeing a therapist but we only meet every two weeks for an hour because of my insurance. I can’t afford any more visits. We’ve been working on ERP but I still feel stuck. Just recently, we went through a drive thru and the kid at the window looked really young. I’m afraid that I found him attractive and I felt a groinal at the thought. I f*cking hate my mind. I don’t think I can do this anymore. I’m trying but I still feel like it’s not enough. I’ve let my parents down, my friends and my family. Everyone who knows me doesn’t know the thoughts I have and how sick and disgusted I feel with myself.
