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!

11 months and im so done
im so tired of trying to express my feeling and feeling so dumb. im so angry and my chest hurts from sadness and stress all the time with no one to talk to, this is so lonely. the only friend i had got annoyed with me and said maybe this is happening because i dont listen. i hate this so much and i gained so much weight from stress. i cant look pretty or happy if i tried.

I’m so obsessed with my breathing.
I feel like I’m going to stop breathing and it makes it seem like an effort just to do it. I just want to be normal again and have my breathing go back to being automatic. Idk how to beat this, I’m constantly worried about it

I’m so tired I just wanna be free
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
