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.

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.

I keep waking up, overwhelmed with anxiety and I feel like an awful person and I don’t know why…? But I feel like it’s because of POCD, I genuinely feel like a bad person because of all of my false attraction experiences, I feel like it’s my fault, I feel like an awful person and I’m spiraling, it’s so hard to look at myself in the mirror, i can’t bare it, I just feel so awful about myself and I don’t know what to do anymore. I genuinely can’t do this anymore.

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.
