I’m sorry you’re feeling so exhausted. Fighting something like OCD can definitely feel overwhelming. When we feel like we can’t have a normal day, we sometimes have to focus on little moments instead. Those tiny seconds between those OCD thoughts. The more you practice ERP, the longer those moments become. In the meantime, maybe you could try practicing some self-compassion and validating the big emotions you’re feeling. You aren’t alone!

I'm getting intrusive thoughts of self harm. It seems like I've achieved everything in my life and it makes little difference. None of it was worth anything.

So over all of this. Why do periods have to make everything so much worse. I keep thinking that I can get over an intrusive thought and then the next one comes in. My brain tries to make be obsess over something that i've already obsessed about and moved on from. Wish this could be over.

I feel like my life isn't my own anymore. I live by OCD's rules. I can't ever switch it off. I spend most of my day mentally reviewing and constantly checking myself. I have to do things in a certain way or i dont feel safe. All this time that i've lost and for what? Idk how I let thoughts have so much power over my life and yet here I am. Every day. I can't even get away from it in sleep because i have dreams about it and I wake up anxious if i manage to get any sleep at all. I'm so over it all.
