@Overcomer OCD in general. It is making me worry about all of those things, now you mention it, but I know I don't have to. The worst part is I can't stop it and everyone keeps invalidating me when I try.

@Demuree444 I completely understand how you feel. It’s like why worry , move on, do something else’s. And we feel stuck so I get it. I try remember things bet brighter when the worry stops we can immediately see clearly n think of ways to change n navigate. As I’m with struggling we should learn to let go. Where’s the growth opportunity in this situation to change

@Overcomer Invalidating I feel lt , everyone processs things differently, people forget to empathize on that. But when the change comes you won’t need the people of others to do what you know is right.

@Overcomer Agreed. I just hate how I am in a constant loop of worry and there is literally no end to it. I wish there was something I can do, but I have tried everything. I just feel like I am sitting and watching myself fall down into my own grave, honestly. I really hate feeling like I am not capable of doing things on my own, I want to feel competent but I can't. I wanna be the chill person I used to be but I can barely do that anymore.

@Demuree444 I feel that so much. The fights with the internal self. Self~hate is detrimental to our mind

@Overcomer Yep, usually when I am not overcome with the anxiety that comes with trying to recover by myself, I can be very laid-back, honestly. Anxiety gets worse when I realize I am doing this all by myself with no family support because they all don't care.

@Overcomer I am just imagining what I want, but it sucks to do that because I want to get to where I want to be, but it is virtually impossible without support from the ones I live with.

@Overcomer Yeah, I have ideas, I just have no motivation to try them. For example, I think working out or doing meditation could help, but I have no motivation and for some reason my brain and thoughts think it is "embarrassing"

It becomes so difficult when you don't know what to do when you are feeling extremely irritated and frustrated and cannot communicate with others as they might feel disgusted. Nothing seems helpful.

I had a really stressful couple of weeks and it's all hitting me right now. I cannot for the life of me shut off my brain my thoughts for a little and it feels like drowning. It's 1 a.m. here and I'm feeling completely hopeless like this feeling is going to last forever. I'm feeling like I can't use the tools I've been given my my psychologist and my meds feel like they've stopped working. I feel like by the end of the end I'm going to lose my mind. I usually am able to find some silver lining but today has been so bad. Everything triggers me and I have really bad intrusive thoughts about dying and finding some peace but I know that's not what I want. It's just so difficult navigating life when your brain works against you. I'm so tired and defeated and I feel like I have no one to turn to, but even that is some form of reassurance and it makes me spiral that I decide actively against it. I just feel like I'm losing my mind and I'm going "insane" from the distress. All my failed friendships and relationships have come back to haunt me and I feel like I can't get out of the house. All my sort comings are layed out in front of me and I feel like I am the worst person in the world and nothing will fix that. I have some real bad thoughts about my friends and family. And I know alla of this is classic symptoms of OCD but even though I know I can't rationalize and come to peace with them. I'm so envious of people being able to lead a normal life without this burden and in my mind it's just highlights all my shortcomings. I've had moments like this before but the last really nasty one was four years ago when I was yet undiagnosed and I really felt insane back then. I was hoping that when this happened to me again I'd be more capable of handling it but I don't think I am. I'm constantly on a battle against my mind and some times I win and sometimes I lose. I'm sorry for the rant I just feel extremely hopeless right now.
