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.

I genuinely can’t do this anymore
I keep waking up, overwhelmed with anxiety and I feel like an awful person and I don’t know why…? But I feel like it’s because of POCD, I genuinely feel like a bad person because of all of my false attraction experiences, I feel like it’s my fault, I feel like an awful person and I’m spiraling, it’s so hard to look at myself in the mirror, i can’t bare it, I just feel so awful about myself and I don’t know what to do anymore. I genuinely can’t do this anymore.

need help
I’m having a bad episode right now and I’m feeling so depressed and I’m crying like a baby because I’m thinking that if my mom knew the reasons I’m like this she would hate me and what would I ever do without my mom. I’m feeling so alone. I just need my mom but I know I can’t open up to her. Like even if I’m this horrible person my mom would despise me too? I can’t handle that someone please help.

I need help
I struggle with self harm and depression. I told my doctor a week ago that I have suicidal thoughts and she put me on an anxiety/depression med and she said it could make things better or worse. I have noticed I barely eat anything anymore and I started to self harm more. I go through my day struggling and I’ve lost my friends and I stay in my room 24/7. I don’t feel like doing anything anymore. People say “oh it’ll get better” or “you’ll overcome it” or “don’t worry it’ll be okay” but guess what it’s not true. I feel like no one gets me or no one will listen to me. No one understands the pain I go through every second of the day trying my hardest to put on a fake smile. I can’t do it anymore. I want it to stop.
