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

@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.
Hey today I’m feeling very tired because of my OCD I’m just so tired of it. I feel I’m doing everything to get better. I disregard the thoughts, I’m trying to do things like I don’t have ocd but it doesn’t want to go away. I was doing fine for a long period of time and now I feel like I’m back a square one. It’s been almost 2 months now I’m battling with OCD and I’m just tired. Sure I have moments where it’s better than others, I also have days where I barely have OCD but I also have really bad days like today where I just don’t want to get out of bed. Last time I had a relapse it took my 4 weeks to get out of it I don’t understand why this time it takes me more. I’m starting believing that I will never feel better again. Anyway I’m gonna try to find the strength to get out of bed and to start my day. But I just wanted to share. It’s such a horrible illness.
I’ve been dealing with a really bad flare up the last 2 weeks and i’ve been dealing with ocd on and off for years. I was finally feeling better today, So of course my ocd decided to bring up an old intrusive thought that was really upsetting and now i’m stuck on it again. The reason why I struggle so much to conquer my ocd is because I developed ocd as postpartum so my ocd targets my kids, the ones that mean everything to me. The intrusive thoughts range from mild to really disturbing. While I know deep down the intrusive thoughts aren’t true or me, the ocd makes it feel SO real and true which makes me feel like I HAVE to disprove the thoughts and with confidence but the ocd won’t let me. It also makes me question analyze and judge everything I do. It’s an endless cycle of pain and I just want to be a mom without ocd telling me i’m a horrible person all day every day. 😪
My OCD has never been this strong, it's so real, it feels like it will never go away, it's never been this strong for me and it's very scary.
