It is okay to have a bad day. We all get them. You have to stay strong because I promise you that it will be so worth it! Sending lots of love to you!!
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 :)
Thank you so much everyone , you’re all so wonderful .😭😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏❤️
You are not alone. We’re in this with you❤️
Things will get 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
Thank you so much everyone , because I’m so frightened that I’ll never have control of my life again .
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 😊
Thank so much ❤️❤️🙏
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.
I’m having a bad day today. I am fearing the worst about my health now. Even with therapy and 4 hours of exposures each day I am not getting better. :(
This has been one of the worst days of my life. I’ve had 2 break downs today, over taxes. I think I’ve made mistakes in past years returns, and now I don’t know what to do. I’m going to be in such trouble. I can’t function like this anymore
I feel like the only 23 year old who’s failing. Like, everyone I know my age is working or going to school, and neither I’ve been able to do for the last 3 years because of my mental health, and a fear of trying and failing. I tried college and it didn’t work out, I tried working and it didn’t work out, so I’ve been trying to focus on my mental health and getting stronger before trying again but now I’m at the point I feel like I’m doomed to never accomplish anything ever again. Every day when I’m doing my household chores or running errands, or doing literally any productive thing, my brain yells the whole time “you’re not doing this task good enough” and “you can’t even do this right, imagine trying to hold a job?” And when I do a task and feel accomplished for a moment, my brain says “your friends are doing way more than this at their jobs, you shouldn’t be proud at all”. I’m so scared my entire life is going to be this hard, even though I’ve made strides in my mental health journey, it still never feels good enough. It’s still so hard and I’m still so scared I’m doomed to never accomplish anything
