I’ve been feeling so down and not good about myself struggling with depression my anxiety got better and less thoughts but I just feel like this huge failure bc I just turned 25 and thought I’d have my life in order by now and my illness makes me feel even lesss worthy

I’m in the same boat, but I’m sure there is someone in your life that makes you feel like a success. You are worthy, I truly believe that. I feel similarly, but I know that these are just my bullshit ocd thoughts, they are evil and try to convince you and I of things that aren’t true. Stay strong and wake up everyday with the mindset that you can do this and come out on top, sure there are days where it will be tough, but you just have to remember that it gets better. I’m here for you and I’m sure there are so many people there for you as well.

This was exactly the same boat that I was in last year just as I turned 25! I had a complete mental break down, and had OCD thoughts about harming myself or taking my life, but here I am a year later and I just turned 26 on Tuesday! At that point in life I thought that I was stuck forever and now I’m finally just about done with my therapy sessions and I can’t tell you how much of a difference a year has made! Don’t worry, we’re all out here rooting for you and rooting for each other!

Don't worry I just turned 26 and am in rehab because my HOCD turned me into an alcoholic ..

Thanks so much I def have a good support system I just get caught up in comparing myself to others n soemtimes I feel I’ll never be a success bc of my ocd

Thanks I was doing good for 10 months I relapsed Tho bc I cut back on meds I just turned 25 Monday but the fact it came back twice feels like My life’s over & everything goin on in the world doesn’t help

Ya I have problems with drinking soemtimes

Only makes everything worse , do not drink as a compulsion

Learned the hard way when I blacked out 2 weekends ago
