I dont want to have ocd, anxiety, depression, this is not a way to live a life. I cant eat drink, i dont want to go out in case the ocd starts. I have no energy, i barely have strength to talk. My parents are struggling to see me like this. I feel scared, i dont want to live like this, its so horrible ? i keep hoping for a miracle.

Feel same I envy people that don’t have mental disorder :/

You are absolutely not alone! I’m right there with you along with so many others. I promise it’s something you will certainly get through. Keep pushing on and have faith that better days are coming because I promise they are! :-)

same :( i watched every season go by this year wishing to join in on all the fun and wanting to be normal and happy. i feel like i should not exist, i just feel out of place.

I was exactly like this 3 weeks ago but right now I’m feeling quite good. It comes and goes but you’ve just got to take life minute by minute and remember that you’re tougher than OCD!

What if it doesnt

Carrie. Thank you. How do you cope. How bad is your ocd?

You might want to try looking into treatment honey, it really does help

My OCD used to be terrible beyond words. I’m not exaggerating. Getting out of bed was terrifying— I dropped out of my college classes this and quit my job; it was an all-time low. I’m not going to lie, it was the darkest time of my life and although my OCD may not be all the way gone, I’ve certainly learned to manage. You eventually realize, “oh, I’ve gone this long without doing anything bad that I thought I was going to do... maybe I won’t do those horrible things!” (my case is harm OCD). Then you slowly begin to trust yourself to expose yourself to things you used to avoid/were terrified of!! I can honestly tell you that it DOES get better. Maybe not perfect, but much, much better. Suicide used to be an itch that I just couldn’t scratch. I wanted to soooo badly but I told myself that I would eventually see the light at the end of the tunnel, even if I didn’t believe myself at the time. Just please trust me when I say it WILL get easier. It simply takes time. This illness is a toughie and plays with your head a whole lot but you’ll learn how to fight back. There are so, so many people fighting alongside you even if OCD is much less talked about. I’m here whenever you need it! Don’t hesitate to go further in depth/write more comments/updates about how you’re doing in the future. I’d love to help :-)

Carrie. Did you learn any of the treatments like cbt or erp, that you found helped with ocd? I was diagnosed about 20 years ago, and for the past 6-7 years i have been pretty ok.

I worry that i wont get better. I worry what will happen in the future as ive pretty much tried all medications available for ocd. I worry that it will get worse as i get older. Im really finding it hard at the moment, i go see the doc again tomorrow, im not sure what she will suggest. I just want to be ok and live life.
