People can't possibly understand what it's like to have OCD but it doesn't excuse them from supporting you. There are so many people hurting from this illness but this is a good place to get support and understanding. I've spent time curled up in a ball on the floor crying because I didn't think I could stand it anymore so I understand what you're feeling. Be kind to yourself. You're dealing with an incredibly hard situation but it can change. You can move through this. Remember OCD lies and lies and lies. You will be ok.

I think they may not know what to say. People get uncomfortable so they let stuff slide and hope they don't have to talk about it. But there are also lots of people who do care and this site is the place to go for help. And I care. I know it's devastating and feels like it will go on and on but it doesn't. Life can change so quickly. My Mom used to say where there's life, there's hope. You have both. Right now it's rough but you can get though it. ❤

Put those thoughts aside for a bit. Watch TV or read or listen to music. Do something you like and be kind to yourself. You're in my thoughts.

I can't do this anymore
I can't live with OCD anymore. It's ruining my life. I feel like I'm being constantly bullied in my own mind all day everyday. I don't know if what I think and feel is ever real or normal or okay, what is me and what is the OCD thoughts. I don't know if any of my experiences are normal. I'm exhausted from picking apart every single conversation I ever have with anyone until I'm strung out by a vague and ambiguous feeling of guilt. I'm tired of feeling like I'm a bad person and feeling scared all the time and not knowing why and having my brain spin me out on an endless spiralling train of thoughts that never goes anywhere and just makes me feel disconnected from everything and everyone around me. I don't know what I feel and if what I feel is normal or if anything I am doing is real and actually me or if I'm 'losing my mind.' I don't even know if this makes any sense. I get into these states of mind where every thought in my head and everything I feel and perceive makes me question my own sanity. I don't know if anyone likes me because I have absolutely no concept of what I am actually like. I feel completely lost and confused CONSTANTLY.

panicking so bad
I want to rip out my uterus. Only my hormones can make my OCD and ability to manage it go back to square one. I am spiraling *so* hard. I cannot breathe. My PMDD is going crazy. I’m having a panic attack again. I feel so scared. The POCD is going absolutely insane right now. It feels undeniably real, and my mind keeps drifting to those awful thoughts and what feels like exploring them?? but I can’t for the life of me stop some of these compulsions right now. I was trying to watch something to get my mind off of this but ended up getting triggered twice, so my anxiety is a 10 and I can’t seem to calm down. This panic attack is tuned all the way up.

I’m sick and tired of this .
I just can’t do this shit anymore.im tired of these “arousal” sensations that feel real but when I go check my arousal to the same gender I just get anxiety. I’m tired of feeling like I can’t like girls anymore. I’m tired of my arousal getting blocked every now and then because I’m anxious. I’m tired of not knowing who I am anymore. I’m tired of having my mind putting me into an identity I never asked for. I’m tired of this life
