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!

Does anyone else struggle with OCD when it comes to breathing? I've had this for about two years now on and off and finally had enough and came on here to say this. When I try to explain this to other people, therapists, etc. they just don't get it, so maybe someone on here does. I literally cannot stop thinking about my breathing and when it is at its worst, the very act of breathing feels incredibly uncomfortable. It feels like the walls are closing in on me, I constantly feel like I'm having to catch my breath, and I constantly feel the urge to take a giant, "complete" breath and that is the only way I feel comfortable. It's usually manageable during the day, but at night when I try to go to sleep it's awful because when my brain has nothing else to focus on it reverts to the breathing. People tell me to just stop thinking about it but I literally cannot. Can anyone else relate or am I all alone on this one

I can't stop thinking about ending my life. I feel like I'm not even living, I'm just surviving. Everyone is capable of being a person and functioning and I'm just stuck here avoiding everything. My psychiatrist said my ocd is severe and it will all take time and I'll start erp and I'm already on medication but I just feel so depressed and like I won't be able to handle erp and it's already too late for me. I feel inhuman, it's debilitating. My major theme is just fear or contamination, I can't even make myself a meal I can't touch anything in the kitchen. I get stuck in the shower for 2 hours and when I don't shower because I'm depressed I feel like a walking germ. My hands are a mess, my school work is shit, I avoid and avoid and I'm just so tired of "living" like this. My psychiatrist said they don't have any therapists available right now like.... excuse me? What do you mean u don't have any 😭 I honestly don't even know why I'm typing this becuase nothing helps, nothing ever will. I'm so deep into this I can't get out, my room looks like shit, I can't live in this body anymore, I really can't. I let everyone down, I am and will be such a dissapointment. I don't have any dreams or goals or passions I just wasn't made to be here. I don't know how or who to ask for help like there's nothing anyone can do, I'm already on meds. I can't keep being like this, seeing everyone judge me for acting insane.

I’m really down and don’t have anyone i feel i can turn to. I’m just so tired of living as myself. I hate who i love with including myself. I feel so worthless. Having ocd on top of it makes me feel like im just a waste of space. I dont know how to stop feeling this way. Or if i deserve to. That’s all :(
