What happens if u fight it?? Will it go away?No ,I think..u can get help from proffesionals, but fighting depression by yourself can result in higher level of anxiety..let it come , u can withstand it
Yeah I just get super overwhelmed and end up crying when I see all the BS I'm putting myself through but it's hard to fight the intrusive thoughts from becoming cumpulsions. And when I feel overwhelmed I don't feel like doing anything but I have to remind myself I'm human I can only take so much mental and emotional strain before it affects me physically as well, leaving me feeling exhausted in every single way.
I get frustrated which leads to more anxiety. It can just be so overwhelming sometimes and I feel like I let it get the best of me which angry myself and sad
It’s totally common! However, it’s also something you do want to share with a therapist or even your regular doc. Neurologically OCD and depression also have a lot of similarities. There is a little good news about your depressive episodes. While you’ll eventually want to get help more tailored to you OCD, especially because it is related/causes your depression, there are a lot more therapies and clinics and support groups that are very low cost or possibly even free that could at least help you not feel so alone while dealing with these feelings before you are able to restart therapy. And of course, you have us here! 💪🏼💜
Thank you! I really appreciate your in-depth answer and advice for low-cost or possibly free resources, that is quite a silver lining!
And support!
How’s everyone’s depression from OCD? I’ve been having up and down days... But sometimes, i’m so tired of dealing with my phobias I become extremely depressed, wanting a way out. I can’t sleep, can’t eat (fear of food poisoning), sometimes don’t even want to leave the house. Anyone else feel TIRED of this?...
Has anyone ever experienced the phase of falling into depression because of ocd?
I’ve been wondering a lot these past two months have been really bad. I’ve had just about every theme of OCD from harm, sexual, existencial you name it. The only theme I haven’t had is germ OCD, I think it’s because I’m a nurse and I literary live around germs. This time around I’ve been obsessing with sleep and not being able to sleep, which has caused me to have depression. And now I’m like obsessed over my depression to the point where I’m literary questioning my own sanity, and my own experiences almost as if I’m over analyzing every experience and feel depressed over it evened good experiences feel like ass cus I just start doubting them. Has anyone experience this before? I got started on sirtraline and now I am obsessing over the fact that I need a pill to get better which I hate cus I’ve been able to beat my OCD unmedicated. Am I beyond help at this point ? I feel like I am a completely different person I don’t even remember what I used to be like.
