Guys, I’m done, I think I might end it. I made a post where I was asking for reassurance, it got taken down because of it. But now it’s making me think even worse of the event. I think I’m just gonna set a date and just end it. I hope you all heal though, I can’t take this guilt anymore.

Thank you for this, I just feel really scared. My therapist doesn’t really do much, she talks and sends some breathing exercises help. She tries to be understanding and empathetic, but still, my OCD has flared up a lot since my brother died last year, I feel like he looks down on me and hates me

@IHateMyself You're welcome. I know it must be so so hard for you right and that you might be feeling very scared but please remember that things will absolutely hey better. Please try your best not to ruminate or do any kind of compulsions including ruminating, seeking reassurance, confession, etc The compulsions makes the OCD worse. I know, it's so so hard to stop doing the compulsions but please try your best to not do any compulsions. Also, I think this therapist isn't helping you and is making your OCD worse, I think you can search for a better therapist. What about a NOCD therapist? Also, I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm sure your brother loves you so much. He always will love you so much. Your brother absolutely doesn't look down on you and he absolutely doesn't hate you. Stay strong, buddy. ❤️

@itsAnna I think if this therapist isn't helping you and is making your OCD worse then you can search for a better therapist. What about a OCD therapist?*

@IHateMyself I'm sorry to hear that. I know they are expensive but please don't give up. Please remember that things will get better. Please stay. There is hope. Also, can you talk to your family about your OCD? Maybe they can help you find a better therapist?❤️ Also I'm sorry I don't know the meaning of insurance. English isn't my first language 😭

People don't report posts from people seeking reassurance to be mean. They do because they know giving reassurance only makes things worse in the long run. Seeking reassurance is a compulsion. Yes, it relieves your anxiety short term, but it also increases the strength and number of your intrusive thoughts. It also makes your OCD worse. Suicide is not the answer. If you haven't already, please get a counselor that understands OCD and specializes in ERP. You don't have to keep letting OCD control your life. Recovery won't come quick or easy, but it is possible.

I don’t know how to take it, I’ve just done so many gross stuff as a kid, like I’ve never assaulted or done anything like that, but still gross, my mom says I was a kid and everyone does dumb stuff, and that I’ve learned, but I can’t. I don’t deserve the family I have, I hate myself so much, always have, but OCD has made me realize this so much more, I think it’s won

@IHateMyself It only wins if you quit and stop fighting.

Please please, don’t do this. There were thoughts and things I didn’t think I would never get rid of, I didn’t want to get out of bed, and I know you’ve heard this 100 times, but it does get better. It really does, even on days you feel like you’re at you worse, it will get better. I didn’t believe that for a very long time, but now I do. You should definitely go see a different therapist, and the suicide hotline will help you as well.

Just trying ...

I don’t care if everything you’re afraid of is true, I don’t care if you are the most horrible person, let’s say all your ocd is true, you deserve to be alive. You are a human being with a 1 in a 7 billion life, you are valuable at your worst just as you are valuable at your best. Right now you are in a lot of pain and that’s ok, give your self empathy and compassion and love. And please please remember there is nothing in life that you can’t overcome. Nothing.
