I think it’s all part of the process, but I have noticed that after bad periods, once I overcome them, I actually feel a lot better for a longer time because I learn something new in how to cope with those bad times. So I think of this whole process as trial and error, learning about yourself and how to help yourself and in the long run everything will pay off, just hold on and don’t give up on yourself ?

I notice my OCD is cyclical in nature. I just have periods where it waxes and wanes.

Thank you guys. I guess it’s just frustrating because my birthday is on Monday and I wanted to be happy then but OCD is allll about taking it for the ride!

I know that pressure when you want to feel good for a special day and you’re just afraid that you won’t feel as you’d like. But it will be easier if you accept your current situation, acknowledge that you’re going through a rough period in life and lower your expectations about that specific day, because it’s like expecting from a person who has a flu and coughs so much to sing, if you get what I mean ? so try to relax, try meditation if you haven’t already and be kind to yourself ? also, if you don’t have a therapist I would wholeheartedly recommend finding one ?

Aw thank you! I’d love to try meditating sometime because I’ve heard it’s great! And my mum and I have recently found a therapist for me so I hope I’ll start pretty soon :)

TW I’m feeling really bad about myself today. I feel like a fraud and a liar. I’ve been unable to enjoy my time with my girlfriend because I’m bombarded with my thoughts. I’ve been asking for reassurance from so many people and nothing is helping. Nothing makes me feel better anymore and I’m worried that this is just how it’s going to be for forever. I miss when I could just be happy and not overthink so much. I miss being able to get through my days without this crippling anxiety. I’m worried there’s going to be a day where I realize I have no fight left in me

I’ve been going through this rough patch for the last four months, and I can already feel an even worse one coming. I just feel scared. And on top of that, I’m going to stop therapy. After everything with my current therapist, I just don’t have the strength to keep trying anymore. I feel hopeless. My head hurts so much, and it’s hard to keep going when everything feels this bad. I just want to cry, hope this feeling passes, and maybe try again if it ever lets up. But right now, it feels like nothing will ever get better. I don’t feel like I can ask for help. I hate that it took me so long to realize this wasn’t the therapist for me. I was too scared of being dramatic, so I let it go on for far too long, and now I feel like I’ve just become a burden-like. I hate that I let it get to that point, especially when I was paying for this. I just want to give up. I feel broken down, and I don’t even want to be okay anymore.
