feeling anxious, mentally exhausted. i just want to not think about anything. recently found out i have moral scrupulosity ocd and its overwhelming to me. looking forward to starting ERP and an ssri in the coming weeks. im okay. i guess this feeling will pass.

I’m going through the same thing. Would you mind sharing what you’re going through . I could pray for you and give you advice

I understand that . Reading what you just typed to me literally reminds me of myself . I am literally going through the same thing . I know how it feels to think that way . I just want to say that it is OCD . You’re having thoughts that is consuming your time and peace . You are constantly in your head , so to speak . You are seeking reassurance, which is a compulsion . You are constantly trying to analyze yourself and every thought . In a mind like ours , we feel that analyzing , reassurance , and taking control of each situation is going to make the issue better , safer , or peaceful….temporarily. The reason we keep coming back to the same issue is because it doesn’t work . ERP is something that I’m going to take as well. I start in 2 weeks . I’m not sure how it’s going to work for me or you , but I’m aware that a lot of people have tried it , and the success rate is high . Every time we seek a compulsion to make it better , it’s going to be worse because the problem is still there . I believe that the ERP will help us realize the issue , and diminish it . It will be a process because it’s going to take time . We have to retrain the way that we think . Are you a believer in Christ Jesus ?

I get what you are going through . I really do . I’m here going through the same . We have one another to talk to . I’m a believer in Jesus. Through Him , we have peace , love , joy and eternal life . Please get to know Him if you already dont . If you do know Him , worship , pray , cry , talk , and give it all to Him . Can you believe that He wants to take all of our problems? He literally wants to take it from you and from me too ! He died for us . We dont have to live this way . When we feel alone , scared and confused , He is there . He understands you and know you better than you know yourself . He’s so patient with us and doesn’t want us to be overwhelmed. All of the fears and frustration isn’t of Him . It’s the enemy who hates you. It can also be an imbalance in our brains. Just know that He is hear to help . Ask for help . Pray out to Him. We cannot do this on our own .
