I know it seems like because there are older people here that this must mean you are cursed or something forever. But it's not true! Mental illness can happen to any age. Think of it like a broken leg - we can break our leg at 7, someone can break it at 17,somwone at 40 and even a 80 year old can break their leg. EACH of them would require help and recovery to get that limb back to a better place. And everyone's recovery takes different times. A 30 year old might take 3 months to heal his broken leg, but the 7 year old might take 2 years - was one more in the wrong than the other? No, not at all 😊. The same for us and mentally. Have you thought about asking for help via therapy? This will help you tremendously 😊💕

Thank you so much for that I needed to hear it. Especially after I went through with my compulsions and I feel guilty. And I’m scared to go to therapy for some reason. I don’t want to be judged . I’m thankful for this app at least and being able to talk to you guys because I know my family just wouldn’t understand.

@nowsheindistress Aww I understand. I know its so hard and so hard to be around people and try to conversate when your whole inside is in turmoil. I know a lot of people can be scared of therapy, that sharing some of these thoughts are so so scary. But specialists have heard of this and are trained to treat the disorder. It's not a reflection on your character or your heart! it's the nature of this disorder. The thought content doesnt actually matter, its all under the model of OCD. - - that's pretty crazy right! ❤️ Aww I just hope whenever you're ready you will reach out for help, because things will get better. Whenever you want myself and others are here to help you to chat 😊

Yes you will, it’s a working process. With me my OCD can dip in and out. I’ll think that I’m “cured” but then the next day I’ll have a complete OCD episode. It’s going to be okay. Seek preofessional help if you haven’t already. We all believe in you xx

You will get better it will just take time. Keep doing your erp exercises and overtime you will find out that your thoughts are not real and you will be safe in those situations.

I’m 19, and seeing people who are older than me continue to struggle from this, literally gives me no hope. This disorder is the devil, I cannot take this anymore. I have been struggling silently nobody in my family knows & even if they did they would not understand. It’s hard to be hard, when there’s is a voice constantly in my head telling me something is wrong & causing me distress . This is no way to live.

@hanajade Looking back, as early as 7. I remember wanting my handwriting to be perfect. I always thought I was a perfectionist but just realized within the last few months or so that’s it’s OCD.

Does it really get better?
I’ve been dealing with ocd my whole life, and just got diagnosed about a year ago. I feel my days becoming occupied with thoughts, urges, fears and worry that completely debilitate me. It’s getting to the point where i feel like it’s taking over my life. I don’t see this getting any better, even with the therapy and medication I’m on. I’m scared my life will be like this forever, I’m tired. My brain is tired of ruminating every second of every day from the moment I wake up to the moment I go to sleep. I’m not sure how much longer I can go on like this.

Please help
It’s never been this bad before. I feel like I’ll never get better. Every day I remember new things to feel guilty about and new fears pop into my head. What if I get doxxed? What if I said something online that could get me in trouble? What if I was hacked? What if someone is looking through every post, every message, every account I’ve ever made. I feel like I’ve dug myself into a hole and there is no way out. I’m 21, I keep thinking “no one will have grace for you because of your age. You are an adult. You should have know better. You don’t deserve to get better”
