Is there something specific that made you feel this way? For me sometimes i get frustrated because sometimes I feel stuck, like i havent been moving forward (no degree, no husband, no kids, not having my own place) and just feel really unsatisfied. And it makes me frustrated all day π

It helps to take a step back and evaluate the problem, by taking a step back you may be able to find the cause of that frustration and work from there to reach a solution! π

Im my case: I was working towards an illustration degree at a community college and as the years passed by i felt i wasnt moving forward (due to inconstent career counseling that was back and forth). I wanted my career and it was frustrating everyone around me already having their careers, getting their own place etc. I felt soo behind, i felt like a loser, i felt unaccomplished. I was a failure (thats what i told myself) it was a constant state of anxiety. I felt stuck, i had no idea what to do. So you know what I did? I quit that school! Decided to take a break from school (temporary) That break served as taking a step back. BUT! sometimes, you need to take a step back, revaluate the bigger picture in order to find the cause and then reach a solution. I took a break from school in order to determine if I wanted to continue with my dream or make a career change.

During those months i looked into healthcare programs but in never followed through because during those months I realized that I was meant to do illustration, it is my passion. Healthcare is a wonderful career field, but i wasnt passionate about it, i am a creative at heart! So... After 3 months: after taking that step back I learned that I still wanted to pursue my illustration degree BUT i was going to take a different approach (different school) so i looked up schools and saw Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design, applied because (if i applied that day my application fee would be waved π ) but i figured why not! Surprisingly got accepted! It is by far the best decision i ever made in my life! Its not always easy though, I have no encourangement from my mother (she saw me as a failure and wanted me to do healthcare) but i feel deep in my heart it was the best decision i ever made and feel more centered in terms of where I am going moving forward.

wheew that was a mouthful ! Sorry about that π But i just want you to know that no matter where you are in life, at one point you will get stuck it happens to everyone! If you ever feel that way, it is a strong sign that you have to make a big change! If your unsure of what it is it can be frustrating! But i promise if you take a step back (even if it means taking a break from school or work, even if it takes months) you will eventually figure out the root of the problem. And once you do, reaching the solution is much easier! Even if the solution means taking a big drastic change, or even starting over do not be afraid π even if we fail it doesnt make us failures, it just means we havent found the right approach π

Im glad my advice helped π I also learned that another problem i had was being unorganized in keeping track with appointments, deadlines, etc. Finding a method to help stay organized helps as well π

But just remember if your feeling frustrated because you feel stuck, its going to be okay π It just means there is a big change around the corner! And taking a step back will help you find that approach π

I drunk a lot while you've got frustrated. Now it's 08h48 here and I'm having a super hangover after a night of insomnia, and now I'm forced to smile at people as if everything was normal so that the fact is my life is a shit hole. And everybody thinks I'm living my life as a chief. I'm owned.

Hey everyone, I wanted to come on here today to just share this post because Iβve been struggling with this recently. I just wanna know if this is a common thing in relationship OCD. So last Friday me and my boyfriend had a conversation that was important, and my emotions were high and I got a little emotional about something he said and we had a long talk about it, the conversation went great and afterwards everything was okay. On Saturday I was so excited to see him after work and I was overflowing with feelings of happiness and excitement. Sunday was great and we stayed on FaceTime just enjoying the day together after he went home that morning, and then came Monday. I remember getting a thought like this, βWhat if Iβm losing feelings for him and Iβm just leading him on?β And even this thought, βI donβt really feel anything towards him right now, does that mean I fell out of love with him?β And then the anxiety came, I could literally feel myself breaking out in cold sweats and I could feel the pain in my chest after these thoughts crossed my mind. But what bothers me so much about this is on Saturday and Sunday I felt so content and happy with him and I was so happy and I didnβt have any anxiety whatsoever, and then Monday came, and I had those thoughts and I feel almost numb and I canβt feel anything else except the feelings of worry and fear and my anxiety has been at a all-time high and I keep feeling this pain of guilt and hurt in my chest and I just wanted to know if anyone else has experienced the same. Because personally one thing I hate is that one day I can be so happy and energetic and then the next day I can feel numb and feel absolutely nothing towards my boyfriend. Iβm not sure if this can correlate with my menstrual cycle as well, but Iβve heard that that can also make your relationship OCD worse and cause you to feel differently about your partner. Just wanting to see if anyone has dealt with the same!

Anyone else just have days where they feel more calm and donβt have as many intrusive thoughts? But then later at night time it just comes back so you only had relief even for a little bit ππ I feel like even when Iβm not having my OCD send me intrusive thoughts, I always have a feeling in my stomach that something is wrong/off or a sense of doom. I always just feel on edge and anxious as if my mind is always preparing itself for the next horrifying intrusive thought to torment me with ugh π«

Whenever anyone starts to feel like their thoughts are less triggering or they feel a moment of happiness/ relief OCD tells you that you want the thoughts back or you actually like having the thoughts and maybe thats just the person I really am? I feel like im going insaneπ’
