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.

So after my ocd has become more prominent, it gets harder to fight through these compulsion’s everyday. I don’t go to therapy or take any medications and to be honest I am very lost in my journey on how to navigate life with ocd. I don’t want it to take over my life. I want to be able to feel like I can live without a weight on my chest and to finally feel like I can breathe. Any suggestions or words of advice is more than welcome.
