Guys I’m sorry I feel so defeated, I just want to give up. I’ve lost all joy and every thing that used to give me purpose to fight has lost meaning. OCD has stripped everything from me and I don’t know what to do. I hate feeling good and then feeling bad. This cycle is terrible

OCD likes to exhaust us, make us feel defeated. Don’t give up. I’m in the same boat where all my joy feels like it’s gone, but you’ll find it again. This right now is temporary. The cycle of ocd sucks, it’s full of highs and lows. You can do this. I have had ocd for almost 10 years now, and I know and believe in you that this will pass and you can get through it. It’s hard but reach out and continue to talk yourself through it. You’re not alone

Coop, that was so nice to read! Turns out I needed to read that too.

And Nicky, you are actually so strong (contrary to what OCD wants you to believe) so let's not let OCD win. OCD has already taken so much from us, let's not let it take away the beautiful, rare, privilege of getting to live life. You are so loved beyond measure & you deserve to see yourself recover. Recovery is long and difficult but once you get to the other side, it's so beautiful. And the journey can be beautiful too ?

I feel the same way. I thought I was alone

you deserve to see yourself recover. Recovery is long and difficult but once you get to the other side, it's so beautiful. And the journey can be beautiful too ?

You're never alone ?
