Your post is obviously reflective of your own very real and weighty discouragement, it’s ironically encouraging to me and many others, because we have all had dark nights, weeks, months, etc. and felt that way. Anyway, I really appreciate your candor and transparency. While it’s alright if it doesn’t mean much, I will be praying for you tonight, tomorrow, and this week. Usually when I get there, it’s not that I’m done with life, but done with living life like this. I’m with you!

This was me 3 months ago, you can do this! Don’t let the OCD win, you’re stronger than these thoughts. You’re not alone in this battle.

I’ve been there. We all walk through the darkness sometimes but I promise you there is a light. So stumble through the darkness a little longer because you will get through it and you definitely are not walking alone.

Please hang in there. I feel similar. I am doing a bit better than a couple of weeks ago when I felt just like you are saying. Only a little bit better but I will take it. Please hang in there. Please.

Thank you all for your comments! I was just venting. Truth is I have been doing a lot better but it’s like I’m not entirely myself so everyday with these thoughts It’s discouraging. I know there are people with worse situations than me but right now I’m in a very difficult living situation and so it’s very hard to stay hopeful when I’m not myself yet. But I will try my best to keep moving forward!

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

I’m really depressed and lately life has been really really bad. Everyday, it’s like something horrible happens and my mind tries to make me forget it. My family life isn’t that great and everything is super tough for me. It’s like when I get better I go like a million steps back. I ended up doing something bad today:ended up becoming aggressive to myself and caused some ouchies) it hurt a lot and right now I’m really stressed and have been for a while. My mental well being has been extremely bad these days. I have obsessive compulsive disorder but for me it’s decently strong so it’s hard to contain, Complex-trauma, depression, and possibly ADHD. It’s an awful mix. My life is a living hell everyday. I’m not sure how much longer I can keep lying to myself to Myself that I’m getting better when in reality I’m in so much pain, it’s like I’m barely doing anything at all. Please, help, I’ve been acting not like myself. I want to live, even though it’s extremely difficult too and I rather much not be here, but people are counting on me and I don’t want to fail them. How can I convince myself to stay a little longer when I am fully burnt out from trying to get better? I’m in so much pain. I don’t know how to even deal with it. I’m so lost, I might lose it more, and I’m scared for myself. I feel like I don’t even deserve help. I’m so mentally unwell I can’t even think correctly. I hate everything and just want to sleep forever and ever. I’m so numb to it all. I don’t feel anything anymore.
