Contact your primary care or a psychiatrist about starting an SSRI. They'll probably start you on the lowest dose (5mg) of lexapro or something and check in with ya in a month to see how its doing. Meds will help kick start your recovery and motivate you to do ERP. If things are becoming too hard for you, PLEASE text HOME to 741741 (its a text crisis line). We all want you here with us! We all understand what you are going through, trust me!

@random_person Ocd is causing your depression, once you beat your ocd and get it under control, you will feel better and depression will go away

It's exhausting and overwhelming. Remember you're dealing with OCD and it's powerful. Also remember that it's not real. Give yourself time to rest by reading or watching a favorite show or talking to someone who is supportive. There are so many people struggling like you are. You're not alone and we understand. Take it one day at a time or one hour at a time; whatever you can handle. And keep in touch this way. You'll get lots of awesome support and that's something we all need.

Help
I have never dealt with severe depression like this, I feel really hopeless and scared, I can't imagine a future out of all my mental health issues and I can't imagine being healthy and happy. The last 3/4 years I feel like I've done nothing but avoid things that are challenging and his at home every day because of my mental health and now it's all hitting me so hard that I'm so unhappy with my life and ick how to push through feeling so bad I can't even eat. I don’t even feel like I want to hurt myself but my will to live also feels so low. I hate feeling like I’m so trapped in a mental health cycle that nothing can break it

Hopeless
I just don’t know how much more of this I can take. I’m so fed up of the way my OCD makes me feel, plagued with thoughts that I hate my son, I don’t love my partner, I want to die, my life is pointless. I’m trying so hard, I’m doin ERP, I’m trying to carry on my life as normal but I just feel SO depressed. I am convinced that I am stuck like this forever now, clearly nothing is working and I’m just ready to give up 😢
