I have always felt terrible about myself, the crazy thoughts in my head, this guilt that I was a bad person for whatever reason. I aged and it faded but it was always there in some form, no matter what I did I was doing it with bad intentions. I always felt less than others at everything. I guess it’s the life I was destined to live.

I feel for you in this moment. In the depths of OCD, it can make you feel so guilty, so sad, so isolated, and so hopeless at times. I want you to know that there is *so* much hope for to recover and to live a life where you don't feel this way. I know it's hard to see it now or believe that it's true, but OCD is very responsive to treatment. Have you checked out some of the free tools we have on the app? Maybe some of our educational webinars? I know we have talked a lot there about guilt, shame, etc., and I think some of that might be helpful. It might also be helpful to check out our support groups just to know you're not alone. <3. Wishing you the best of luck and the NOCD team is here for you if you are ever ready to take the step with therapy!
