You aren't lost you're just getting prepared from your mistakes. Overcoming OCD is a journey and the way to measure your progress is through how you kept going despite the difficulties on your way. Get up again, it's not over.

@poohbear21 Therapist can be very by the book when it comes to taking time to understand someone’s suffering. I’m getting treatment for OCD and I still don’t trust my therapist enough to tell them anything deep. I feel like I’d be wasting my breathe. They don’t understand what it feels like inside my brain and my body. What are you struggling with?

Thank you guys for your support and positivity...but I promise I have tried everything. There are no other options. Therapy is just an occupation. They dont really care. We're just dollar signs to them...even now I feel guilty saying that because I was a firm believer in mental health professionals being dedicated but they're just trying to make a living.

I used to have this same mindset. It was my stubborn excuse to not get help for my ocd and bpd and I ended up ruining my relationships with others because of it. I promise you keep looking you WILL find the right therapist. Please don’t give up.

@lilac21 Bpd for me is being unable to regulate your emotions, a lot of the time my first reaction to anything bad has been “suicide” and also meltdowns, just being stubborn and not listening to the advice others give me, having such black and white thinking but not the ocd kind, the more pessimistic depression kind. “Therapists don’t care they just want your money” was one. I have extreme fears of abandonment and my meltdowns look bad. I am not a doctor and I also may have autism which may also effect these things but that’s my own experience with bpd. Because I didn’t get help my best friend of 10 years walked away because I put too much on her (calling her every day sobbing and begging for attention bc I was suicidal) and also I age regress bc of trauma so that also put a lot on her. I have a lot of regrets and after she left I had a breakdown and went to the hospital to finally get help and that’s when I got diagnosed with BPD. BPD people also have what is called a “favorite person” which you basically obsess about another person. You lack identity. It’s hard because I have scrupulousity ocd and I don’t wanna hurt others but I have. Best treatment for it is DBT which is a more direct version of CBT used and made for people with BPD.

I’m striving to change this. It’s why I’m going into psychology and has given my life purpose. I want to spend my life learning about OCD and how people suffer, and I think having OCD will be good because I will understand the suffering my patients will be going through. Please hang on the world needs people like us ❤️❤️

Guys I promise I have tried everything...so many medications so many doctors...and I dont want to even think about how much money. I feel completely defeated here. I'm not trying to give excuses and I'm a fighter but there really comes a point when the you throw your arms up in the air. I'm not trying to deter anyone from seeking treatment. I just had to vent about my broken heart. I pray you all find peace and happiness. Thank you for responding to me. ❤
