tired (two.)
It feels like my OCD is determined to steal everything I love. It’s so exhausting to have to fight myself all the time.

I get it :( especially it gits worst at those times where i am at my happiest and have something to lose. It ruined some of my best times in myself and it hurts to feel like everything is good but the problem is you.. but I also learned that it gets better, even when it’s taking so long sometimes.. and i have hope about the future even tho its scary but i feel like now at least i know what is the problem and how to deal with it, I’m sorry i hope it will get better
@camdenlol Thank you! 💕
I feel your pain ❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹
@Knockonwood3 Thank you! 💕
Are you in therapy with a trained OCD therapist who uses ERP therapy? You can find one on this NOCD site. You're right about OCD. It's determined to ruin your day. OCD therapy can be a game-changer for you.
@Steven55! Sadly, no. NOCD’s resources have been helping me practice ERP on my own, but I’m UK-based so finding an accessible OCD therapist is a challenge.
@Naomi. NOCD will also accept international clients. I understand they even set up the sessions based on your time zone. I think you will need to pay out of pocket, but I think the rate of exchange favors the British pound, so you will pay less in pounds than in dollars. Anyway, it may be worth you investing the time to set up a free consultation. Hope this helps.
It hurts so much, so much pain, I want to give up, I feel like both conditions make each other worse, trying to fight back, trying so hard not to look for answers but this makes it so hard, I just..feel like I have very little hope, I'm so......so tired.
My mental health is declining due to ocd. It’s like a huge mix between ocd episode and depression wave. I feel weak and hopeless. I wanna cry. I’m exhausted . I feel like I’ve lost myself again.
some days I wake up with so much dread and guilt. It makes it so hard to keep going. I open my eyes and I’m hit with a wave of nausea and terror. I feel ashamed of my compulsions and my OCD. I feel like a monster for my checking compulsions. For momentarily sexualizing things that shouldn’t be sexualized out of anxiety. I’m ashamed of a lot that I give into because of anxiety. Confessing things that are meaningless to my boyfriend. I feel so awful and unworthy of existing and of love. I feel hopeless I don’t want to keep pushing, the more I push the more meta my OCD becomes and the more guilt I feel for this mental illness. The more confusing it becomes to do ERP. If compulsions are a choice, they feel like life or death and it’s driving me insane, I beat myself up so badly over them I’m scared of compulsions, I’m scared of thoughts, I’m scared to be awake, I’m even scared of sleeping because my intrusions and compulsions haunt me there too. I spend my dreams trying to explain or justify my OCD and compulsions to people. I’m exhausted, I want this to stop so badly. My severe OCD isn’t feeling any less severe and it’s been months. I don’t want to keep questioning my every move but I’m so hyperaware of everything I do. I’m so tired. Some days I don’t even have tears to cry with. I’m just so full of despair and shame
