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 genuinely feel like this terror inside myself, like this is my last day till everything gets horrible… idk suddenly I have this anxiety this “fear of nothing” makes me feel like I’m not gonna make it, that I will never feel okay and that my life is over. I’m scared, I’m always scared

I’m struggling so much, I don’t know what’s changed. I was doing so well for a solid two months and now it’s been over a month of just my lowest point. My bf has gotten upset at how much I do compulsions and it’s taxing him too. I can’t imagine how hard it is to be my partner right now. I feel exhausted I’m tired of my OCD finding new things to obsess or worry over. I’m so TIRED of getting stuck on technicalities. I’m so exhausted with the constant intrusive thoughts and intrusive thinking. I’m so sick of how compulsive I get when I’m so riddled with anxiety. I don’t want to keep pushing. It feels pointless if my life is going to be a constant loop of ups and extreme lows. I feel like such a disgusting, embarrassing person. I don’t want love because I don’t feel like I deserve it. I don’t want patience or understanding because it makes me feel so guilty. Like no one is understanding how bad of person I could truly be. I’m so lost and tired of this

Does anyone feel like they are stuck in place? I haven’t done anything besides lay in bed on my phone (if I’m not at work) for almost a year now. I have the desire to go out and be a part of the world, but I feel like my body is glued to my bed. I can’t motivate myself to get out of pajamas to go anywhere, and the entire time I’m out (even just at the store) I just want to be home in bed. I mainly just DoorDash food now, when I can convince myself to eat. I’m tired.
