OCD doesn’t mean you are doomed. Many go on to live normal life’s after treatment

My advice is to pay attention to what things may your depression feel better. For me it was adding in long outdoor walks every day (30-60 mins) while listening to a favorite podcast or music. It might be a hobby that still holds your interest. Or getting together with friends. Once you know what helps, I'd recommend you share with a close friend/family member to see how they can help. My partner pushes me to take my walk if I'm feeling low, and will arrange get-togethers with our friends since I don't always have the energy to coordinate.

I guess I didn't know I was really depressed until today. Knew I had anxiety, but until my therapist told me I was depressed I was kinda hoping that was all I had. Since she told me depression and anxiety go together my non depression balloon burst. And putting that with OCD really took the cake. I believe you are going to get through this. I have had the anxiety for 3 years now, ready to get rid of it. I know it will be hard/the ERP/ but I will get through it. And however you handle your depression and OCD, you will get through it too. Remember God's got you and He is in Control.

Medication for OCD? Hello all, 19 male here, this seems like a cool community that isn’t nearly as triggering as reddit. I have pretty severe bouts of existential thinking or fear of going crazy ( psychosis ) after some pretty heavy mushroom trips a few years ago, I know logically I should be fine but I do know what it’s like to lose it and it’s scary. Currently I deal with relationship focused OCD, it’s all day from before I even open my eyes. I want things to work out with my girlfriend badly. Also I can come close to a panic attack sometimes which perpetuates everything. Anyway, I mention the fear of going crazy because the way my anxiety/derealization makes me feel is that I’m not mentally stable cause I feel out of it or unreal. I saw that a lot of anxiety and depression medication can cause psychosis and I feel like I could use some help in getting ahead of my OCD because the compulsions are had not to give into when I’m in such distress/not knowing. Plus overall I just feel like I have no idea how I feel about close to anything. Anyone relate about that ?
