This is a good post ☺! One thing that has kept me going is knowing that others will go through what I've gone through. Like Dante, they will need a Virgil to guide them through Hell. If I'm gone, that's one less person that can help.

what keeps me going is the thought that one day i will get to guide others who go through similiar problems that I did. (I want to be a therapist). i love helping people and letting them know that their life is important whether they 100% believe it or not. and the thought that one day ill be able to travel and have a bunch of cats :)

The sheer absurdity of even being alive. I could be off, but there’s something like 1 in 400 trillion chance of ever being born. I think about the billions of years from the formation of Earth as a planet, to the millions of years leading up to human civilization, the triumphs and tragedies of an entire species culminating in the present moment of now. That I am here, and have the conscious awareness of being here at all. That I, along with you, have this brief little moment of time existing in this vast and unknown cosmos. United not just by our consciousness, but the humanity we all share. That everything we know and create will someday be ash, yet we strive on in spite of the inevitability of our own oblivion—and through it all we are sustained by the immeasurable power of love. Love being the only legacy we ever truly leave behind.

Knowing that I can get better. A LOT of people who have OCD have got better. Erp works. Recovery is possible. It is hard work but possible. I also have a lot of people that love me in my life. I won't let them down.

Sitting in and embracing the shitty day. Having time to myself, cuddling up with a good book and hot coffee and allowing myself to feel down without trying dig my way out of the feeling by going through why I got here or how to get out. Just breathe accept the bad day and remember the more you sit with it the shorter it will last. Tomorrow’s always a chance for a fresh start.

Knowing that this is temporary and that there are high success rates with recovery! It’s super hard some days but that’s what keeps me going

Talking to my friends or my girlfriend always helps me. Also art. My family. And remembering that a painful moment isnt permanent and I won’t feel that way forever.

Art helps me a lot too! I try to find a new craft or painting everyday. Not only does it keep me going but it’s a good distraction and form of therapy

@Makki23 😊❤️ Btw I found the book about harm ocd my friend uses. She said it’s been really helpful to her and it’s like 10 ish dollars. It’s called Overcoming Harm Ocd: Mindfulness and CBT tools for coping with unwanted violent thoughts, and it’s by Jon Hershfeild.

@kwenrich15 Yes, I was an art therapy and psychology double major in college. Art is so helpful for me. It’s also good with my autism because it helps with sensory issues.

At my lowest, I think about my nephews. They adore me so much (which is a wonderful feeling) and I need to stick around for them.

My family and friends, my boyfriend, my ESA kitten, my writing, my drawing, and my other passions. And then it’s also little things like stargazing or watching the sunset on the beach or talking a walk through the park or getting past writer’s block or a good cup of cocoa by the fire or a twist in my favorite tv show I just didn’t expect. Life is so good when I focus on what really makes me happy 🥰

Yes. The little things in life. I was outside at the bon fire last night and I was so happy. I love how calming and quite a night can be.

Since we’ve got him, my dog. Before that, I’m just lucky that I’m incredibly stubborn, not that OCD doesn’t try to out-stubborn me.

I can relate to you. I am so stubborn. And it helps in erp because I wouldn't do a compulsion and let OCD win. 😄

I’ve been feeling so disconnected lately, like I’m not even living my own life. It’s like I’m being controlled by someone else, and I have no say in what’s happening. It’s hard to put this feeling into words, but it’s like I’m here physically, but mentally, I’m just... not. Every day feels like a struggle. I wake up afraid of what’s coming next, almost like I’m bracing myself for the next bad thing to happen. Sometimes, I don’t even want to get out of bed because it feels pointless, like I’m stuck in this loop of fear and doubt. I keep questioning everything, life, my purpose, my choices, and it’s exhausting. I just want to feel like myself again, to feel like I have control, like I’m really here.

I think I’m going through the hardest depression right now. I’ve never felt so compelled to just stop getting up and stop living. I know it’s hard to hear, I just really feel bad. Right now I even feel like an attention seeker. I just wanted to know, are there any tips to raise me from this hole im in? Has anyone else felt like this an pulled themselves out?
