Your brain is hurt. It doesn’t function the way it should. People don’t often understand, but it’s hard to quantify. But everyone here, we understand. We understand what it’s like to want to run from yourself and not be able to. This disorder will do everything it can to make you feel isolated, including make it seem like no one cares. Believe that they do anyways. And please hold on. I know it seems like the hardest thing it the world, but this will not crush you.

I hear you. Ive lost my best friend to this disease. She told me its all in my head and she was having real problems. People don’t understand and even when they try, their patience runs out. They don’t understand we don’t want to feel like this or have these thoughts. But we do. And we have to work on that. And while it would be nice to have their support, we must learn to rely on ourselves becuase we are strong and we are capable and we will move forward regardless.

Please don’t die. Your friends and family love you and care about you a lot. You have so much to look forward to in the future. Keep doing your erp exercises and overtime you will realise that your thoughts are not real and you can be safe in those situations. We can get through this together and we are all here for you.

It’s so easy to feel defeated with OCD. You are not alone. You are loved. There is hope!

I feel like no one cares about me... Im struggling in college and it just feels like I cant catch a break... Ive made bad choices that make me a bad person... I have to be uncertain about worst case POCD scenarios that may or may not have happened unknowingly... I genuinely dont feel like any one cares about me... and if I pass away, ill be laughed at and forgotten by everyone... Im alone with no gf, barely any friends, and I cant even be certain that my POCD fears of unknowingly cybering with a minor did or didnt happen... im stuck in hell...

I’ve recently become unemployed and the journey to finding a new job is honestly unbearable. I struggle with a major lack of self confidence and I don’t believe I’m good at anything nor smart enough for it, so whenever I look at job websites and see different things advertised I panic. Even with what I’ve wanted to do for years, the thought of going out and doing that makes me feel horrendous because I don’t think I’m capable of doing it. And what doesn’t help is the fact I’ve told my parents this and they just scream at me saying I can’t sit around doing nothing every day when that’s already something I don’t want to do. I want a job, I want to do something I enjoy, I like working I do, and once I’m it in I know I’ll enjoy it, but there’s certain things stopping me from going for it. I hate myself over every possible level to the thought of people seeing me everyday is making me panic, I don’t think I’m very intelligent so anything that requires me to do maths or organise numbers or anything like that is out of the question. I’ve worked in hospitality for 7 years, doing shit I despise and I honestly have hated every moment of it so I can’t go back there. It’s all scaring me, all making me feel like I’m just incapable of doing anything right, I genuinely just don’t even want to wake up tomorrow because the thought of living this life for the rest of my life is ridiculous. I don’t want to do it. I don’t have anything I’m good at, there’s nothing I enjoy what the hell am I meant to do with that? I’m honestly so stuck. Everyone keeps saying “beggars can’t be choosers” but this is my fucjing life and I have to do a shit job that makes me want to throw myself off a 30 story building till I’m 70? Fuck no. What kind of life is that? Just so I can make money? And afford bills? And pay to live? wtf I don’t even want to be here so why am I doing that. I don’t enjoy living I a really fucking hate it. And working down the local grocery store is just not gonna make me wanna be here any longer. I really hate it here and now I have to find a job that I’ll hate? I’m so stuck
