Welcome Ashley! The water is...well this water sucks. Literally the worst pool ever. 0 out of 5 stars. Would not recommend.

Feels like it bc I’ve also lost all my family and friends this year. He was the only person keeping me on a good path or any kind of company. I’m super isolated now

@Anonymous I’m sorry hun try being your own company hun. I know it sucks but maybe turn on some up beat songs dance around find something on tv you think is funny dance around using a popsicle as a microphone if you have to I know it might sound silly but what I’m trying to tell you is to just have fun and be your own friend. We gotta have our own backs sometimes and it sucks it really does but it’s worth a shot it’s better then losing yourself

@ashleyboo Yeah. But for what? Like I have no passion or people to work hard for or hopes of a future anymore. Who wants to live a life alone? My family did fucked up shit, my friends left. I have no one who cares. It’s not healthy to be this isolated for so long. I barely have enough money for rent/food rn

@Anonymous Try to dig deep. It really does suck, but try to take one day at a time, one hour at a time, or even one minute at a time. You can do this. Just like Ashley said, start with some small things. Make your bed tomorrow. Maybe even pick up flossing. Give yourself permission to not be okay and permission to create small moments for yourself.

I'm not isolated, but am also going through a breakup. So sorry to hear you're going through that in addition to your OCD. I know how hard and painful it is.

The thing I've been struggling with is how to grieve the loss and the uncertainty of the future with my ex, while also not giving into my compulsions to ruminate and do the "what if" dance. Are you going through that too?

@Anonymous I feel like mine is some of that but also reanalyzing a lot of things and I have no family or friends anymore so I’m literally super isolated and thinking of the world we live in and feeling suicidal

@Anonymous I'm sorry that's your situation. I understand that feeling as well, especially during my toughest moments. I believe that you can get through this though, if only because I have to believe that for myself too. Are you talking with a therapist currently?

@Anonymous Ok. Have hope! You can do this. There are some channels on YouTube. Have you looked into "Awaken Into Love," the "OCD and Anxiety" channel, and the "NOCD" channel? Let's start there, yea? Also, there's a book that I've found really helpful called "the happiness trap." Maybe you can find a PDF somewhere or pick it up from the library?

I’m okay. I feel some sort of sadness and I’m experiencing in a way I guess a lot with this but it’s not too bad it does kind of suck.

Dealing with breakup pls help
Hi - I’ve made a series of posts about my situation over the past few weeks. My bf asked to take a break from our relationship through text the first week of April. We haven’t spoken since. There’s a lot of outward details to this but I’ll try to keep it as simple as possible. My ocd is telling me the worst of the worst. He left me with full uncertainty because he didn’t give me a reason, and his decision felt like it happened overnight and I’m still so confused. He’s never been in a relationship as serious as this before. I’m incredibly hurt and angry, and my emotions get worse on Saturday and Friday nights because that’s when his frat parties happen. I do ERP phrases but my stomach hurts and it’s churning so bad. I deactivated/deleted social media apps for now because it’s too much. I just wish this physical feeling would stop. Does anyone have tips?

Depressive episode post break up
I was broken up with 3 weeks ago and things are just getting worse. I feel like I’m wasting away and like nothing will get better. What’s worse is knowing that if I get out of this episode my ocd will strike back and I’m scared I won’t be able to deal with it. It’s like every part of me can’t accept this break up. I’ve reached out to people but I really would love to hear stories from anyone who thought they wouldn’t make it out
