@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"

My blood has never boiled this much than before. I genuinely wanna throw hands at someone and just scream. My parents always ignore my feelings and shit and always make me the bad one. I can let my shit out around these motherfuckers. My college plans and basically what I dreamed of is fucking destroyed. Nobody fucking understands the shit I have to deal with. It’s always on me. All the damn time. I fucking hate everyone. And whenever I try to fix myself for the better, surprise surprise, EVERYTHING ALWAYS FUCKS UP Everytime i try to vent, they never respond or never understand or it always turns back on me. My heart is beating so fucking fast. I can never enjoy anything with this shit.

I'm drowsy, which is a frequent problem in the motel room I live in, but I want to get something posted. I don't have the energy to post everything I need to say. I need someone who can help me navigate forms and processes to do several things, not all of which I'm going to post right now. I'm in an abusive relationship (not physically), and many agree, including The National Domestic Violence Hotline. They said I'm also being financially abused. I have no friends or family IRL, and I'm alone. For years, my only socializing has been giving servers my orders, paying cashiers, discussing services, and talking to my boyfriend (which usually doesn't go well, plus we mostly avoid conversation with each other, because it's best). I can't leave because of OCD, panic disorder, physical disabilities, and finances. I'm severely obese, which has caused a lot of difficulties. I get out of breath just reaching for some things and I deal with a lot of pain and discomfort. I can't walk stores. I often eat at one restaurant (I try to eat as healthy as I can there), but recently, I have to ask for a table closer to the bathroom. They often don't understand how difficult it is for me to walk from further away. I get exhausted and sweaty when using the bathroom and people stare at me. Once in awhile, people ask if I'm OK. I sometimes worry I will have to sit down before I get back to my table if it's not close enough. Using the bathroom takes me an embarrassingly long time, partially for physical reasons, partially because of OCD. I suffer from urge incontinence. I literally have to live my life around it. I've begged my boyfriend to order the much better-fitting, more comfortable, and more absorbent underwear I tried samples of, but he doesn't. The cheap underwear doesn't come in my size and is worse in every way. The OCD and panic disorder are insinuated in pretty much every part of my life, including the disabilities. No one gets it or understands. No one who can help me takes Medicare here. I get overwhelmed easily and my head gets foggy, and I don't have the energy or can't think right (racing thoughts) trying to call resources, and they sometimes rush me, cut me off, or seem impatient. Yes, I am on medication and have been for most of my life. I've been on many medications, and I have a very different opinion of them and the mental health system than when I was young. I'm 57 and I've been dealing with this since I was 10. I have severe dental problems and it affects how I eat, look, speak, and feel. It's humiliating. At the same time, what I eat in general affects my body in unpleasant ways sometimes. Soft foods aren't always the best, but I can't eat really hard foods. My boyfriend and I have lived in a motel room for about six years, plus bounced from hotels for awhile before that, after my boyfriend lost his house. It's hell. I'm not getting into what some label "politics." I have things I need help with regarding that. I could say SO much more, and there's so much I haven't gone into (like the abuse). I need someone who can help me, not just make me feel better because we talked. I need someone who can help me make changes.

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.
