I am suffering from crippling thoughts. I cannot get them to stop to the point I cannot sleep or even relax. My main fear is covid and my boyfriend left yesterday after being around people and came back home ( I didn’t want him to but it’s his house) I can’t stop obsessing over the fact that he brought covid into the house and I’m going to catch it. Any ways you have of calming the mind would be helpful

I am currently in a separate room and too terrified to leave to eat or drink because I feel the air where he is is contaminated

Just know that not eating or drinking will not keep you healthy from any small thing. Like you have to eat and drink to stay healthy and strong. I know it’s scary but you have to take care of yourself so you don’t get sick. I’m not saying you will but the better you take care of yourself the less chance there is to catch covid. I would just try and wear a mask and wash your hands. But if you have to stand up to your fears for a couple minutes to grab some food and drink I think it would help you in the long run 💕

Have you gotten Covid to this point?......I would say to just wear a mask and if if you feel that crippled please just stay away from people (even stay 10 feet away and let him know how you feel)......many states you can get a shot right now if you are over 16.....try to get in to get a shot.....call around to try to get a shot....some places you don't even have to explain yourself and you can get a shot.

There is nothing to be worried, you don't have covid, that's on your mind is what ocd does to you, relax get out of your room is all in your mind if he had covid it doesn't mean you would catch it anyway, I've been around people with covid caughing and didn't catch it, to catch it it has to be active so don't stress your mind

Does anyone know of any rehabilitation centers for mental health? My ocd has gotten bad today to the point where I feel like leaving :( and desperately get help . Ever since I began medication months ago I been feeling fine but all sudden I feel like my episodes are rapidly coming back. I’m more responsive to them. I find myself ruminating more and engaging in compulsions. I feel embarrassed that my family would have to know if I considered making that choice of leaving . It’s never gotten to this breaking point , or at least I don’t think. I’ve been through this a billion times and each time it feels like it’s the worst and it’s gonna be the one that will permanently take over me and my full control. I’m from Elkhart, Indiana. Or if there’s anyone here that can talk to me I’d appreciate it I feel so alone right now and I’m more vulnerable because I’m home alone and I don’t have many friends. I’m scared that I’m gonna lose touch with myself. I don’t wanna lost my values or stop feeling my normal self. It feels real and scary. I want it to stop.

Tonight is one of the hardest nights I’ve ever had with harm ocd. It’s really one of those nights I’m doubting it’s ocd. I’m having panic attack after panic attack and it’s been the past couple of days where it’s been its highest. I’m doing everything I can to cope, like a hot shower (in the middle of a panic attack, hardest thing ever) skin care, turning my diffuser on and skincare. I took a klonopin but it hasn’t kicked in yet. My brain is beating me up with thoughts like “who thinks like this, you’re a serial killer! A murderer! You should be locked up!” Watching my family around me have peace and be normal is so hard because I’m here struggling to just lay down and relax. Part of me feels like I’m gonna lose my mind and end up in the hospital tonight. I just need positive reinforcement and people who can relate. Are you guys there?

Hi everyone, I’m reaching out here because I know this community understands the daily battles of living with OCD. Recently, I hit a really dark place and tried to take my own life. It’s been hard to admit, but I’m still here, and I’m trying to find a way forward. OCD feels relentless sometimes—the intrusive thoughts, the constant doubt, the cycles that never seem to end. It became so overwhelming that I didn’t see a way out. I know I need help, and I’m working on reaching out to professionals, but I also wanted to connect here. To those who’ve been in a similar place: What helped you keep going? How do you manage the darkest moments when OCD takes over? I feel like I’m holding on by a thread, but I’m holding on. Any advice, words of encouragement, or personal experiences would mean so much to me right now. Thank you for reading this, and for being part of a space where we can be honest about our struggles.
