I also felt that way for a while where I had no energy to do anything or thought life could get better. Trust me it really does I’m speaking from experience. When your in that zone it feels like nothing can bring you back but honestly just keep holding on each day and you will slowly start to feel better and enjoy life more and more.

Hello, new to this community. I had so many days like that. Even moving would trigger an episode. It gets better :)

Hey, I've been where you are right now. I know you feel exhausted. But you are not a failure and things are going to get better. I was lying in my bed from the evening (when I woke up) till the morning. Couldn't do shit. Nothing entertained me. Life, for the first time, felt like just existing and nothing more than that. But I feel better now. It's all not constant. But you need to cheer yourself up, be compassionate and push yourself sometimes to for example take a shower every single day. Brush your teeth. Eat. Do everything even when you feel like it's not worth it

That’s a completely normal feeling and emotion to have right now. It will make you feel that way. Keep pushing on and you will feel a lot better and the sense of control will come back naturally. Try not to force it 😊

Hey friend! Listen to me very carefully here - YOU ARE NOT A FAILURE. Say it with me - "I AM NOT A FAILURE." It's easy to get caught up and worry that you'll never get in control of life. That life will always be like this but trust me, it's not. You need to learn to train your brain to not live in the "what if" world but rather the "what is". The Bible tells us not to worry about tomorrow bc today has enough troubles of its own. Another OCD forum I read said that OCD sufferers also suffer from secondary suffering. Basically it's us beating ourselves up about what is happening to us. Hold your head up high and know that OCD is lying to you. Find a counselor, keep a journal and above all don't ever forget that you're not alone. Hugs from Ohio! I'm proof that there is power in the name of Jesus and there is healing and hope from OCD!! Baby steps no matter how small are still progress.

Feeling sad
Last week was a lot easier for me. I felt like thoughts didn’t control me and my actions as much as they did earlier. Today was really hard for me and I feel like I’m starting to lose hope again:( I can’t take the thoughts and the feelings that come with them anymore. I feel like I have failed and I’m never going to be happy again.

To anyone who cares
I’m really depressed and lately life has been really really bad. Everyday, it’s like something horrible happens and my mind tries to make me forget it. My family life isn’t that great and everything is super tough for me. It’s like when I get better I go like a million steps back. I ended up doing something bad today:ended up becoming aggressive to myself and caused some ouchies) it hurt a lot and right now I’m really stressed and have been for a while. My mental well being has been extremely bad these days. I have obsessive compulsive disorder but for me it’s decently strong so it’s hard to contain, Complex-trauma, depression, and possibly ADHD. It’s an awful mix. My life is a living hell everyday. I’m not sure how much longer I can keep lying to myself to Myself that I’m getting better when in reality I’m in so much pain, it’s like I’m barely doing anything at all. Please, help, I’ve been acting not like myself. I want to live, even though it’s extremely difficult too and I rather much not be here, but people are counting on me and I don’t want to fail them. How can I convince myself to stay a little longer when I am fully burnt out from trying to get better? I’m in so much pain. I don’t know how to even deal with it. I’m so lost, I might lose it more, and I’m scared for myself. I feel like I don’t even deserve help. I’m so mentally unwell I can’t even think correctly. I hate everything and just want to sleep forever and ever. I’m so numb to it all. I don’t feel anything anymore.
