Yea sometimes I feel that way, but then you are giving up your quality of life to please your OCD. You have to accept that you are going to hurt people sometimes

@Mochelle What is life ruining hurt? I don’t know of such a thing. We can overcome any kind of hurt and go on and live our lives.

@Anonymous You make a fair point, I was thinking of having a kid with someone I might not love and ruining my child's life by either not loving them or giving them a stable home, and I could be in a marriage where I'm constantly questioning if I love anyone rather than just being by myself and never having to put people through it all

@Mochelle Well all of those are common OCD thoughts, but I don’t see why that is so horrible. Maybe you wouldn’t love them. Maybe you wouldn’t give them a stable home. Maybe you would doubt your marriage. You’re a human being. You just do the best you can. That’s all you can do. Everyone hurts people. They can get to choose what they do about it.

In the past I used to isolate myself when I was feeling bad or when my mental health became poor. now I feel like I don't want to be alone because I'm scared that when I'm alone, something bad will happen or i'll lose control and do something bad. And I feel like when I'm around someone e.g. my mom, it's easier to just let the thoughts go because at least there's someone there to verify that I haven't done anything bad.

I feel like if I spend time with anyone im always failing everyone else. A lot of people depend on me and want my time. I feel like I can't be enough and it makes me feel like I deserve to be alone. Does anyone ever feel like this?

Feeling like I am a burden on my parents as well on me. No my parents never said anything like this. I just want to end this life which is full of mental suffering which can't be explained. Feeling like I will never be able to do anything in my life. I so want to go far away from these things where there will be only peace.
