Feeling hopeless
I feel like nothing is ever going to get better. I don't want to live anymore.

Don’t give up! Things WILL get better! You can’t see above the water now but you will and you will be so glad you made it out when you!
Hey things WILL get better. I have dealt with ocd for over 5 years now and let me tell you there were times where I couldn't do it anymore. But i got back up on my feet because you know who runs my life? ME. You know who's not going to put me down? my ocd. our ocd isn't us and I know it's REALLY hard to do but what i've done to get better is try to let the thoughts fly by. Embrace some uncertainty☀️
Things will get better! Please know you are worthy and a good person! Your OCD doesn’t define who you are!!!!
Please don’t give up! I had these same thoughts going through my head yesterday, but then I stepped back and realized that no one sees my OCD, but me. My nephew doesn’t know my struggle with POCD. He just sees me as a person he loves. My parents don’t see my harm OCD. They just see the daughter they love. We only see our OCD as ugly. We need to love that part of us, even though we hate it most days.
I’m feeling the same way and I just don’t know what to do anymore I feel so much guilt and shame tied to my POCD thoughts, sensations, urges like I honestly don’t feel like I deserve to live
I feel like I’ll never lead a normal life again with OCD, my thoughts have begun to be convince especially about POCD. I feel like so sad and down that this will be my life forever. I’ll never get to fall in love again without intrusive thoughts. I’ll never be worth falling in love with. I can never be intimate again. I’m just done, my life is over. I can’t even look at my nephew and niece anymore without the smile fading. It feels like I’m so nasty and then my brain convinces me this is how I feel. That there’s some part of me that is a p*do and that’s it. I’m a disgusting human being for that. I just feel hopeless
TW I’m feeling really bad about myself today. I feel like a fraud and a liar. I’ve been unable to enjoy my time with my girlfriend because I’m bombarded with my thoughts. I’ve been asking for reassurance from so many people and nothing is helping. Nothing makes me feel better anymore and I’m worried that this is just how it’s going to be for forever. I miss when I could just be happy and not overthink so much. I miss being able to get through my days without this crippling anxiety. I’m worried there’s going to be a day where I realize I have no fight left in me
I’ve been going through this rough patch for the last four months, and I can already feel an even worse one coming. I just feel scared. And on top of that, I’m going to stop therapy. After everything with my current therapist, I just don’t have the strength to keep trying anymore. I feel hopeless. My head hurts so much, and it’s hard to keep going when everything feels this bad. I just want to cry, hope this feeling passes, and maybe try again if it ever lets up. But right now, it feels like nothing will ever get better. I don’t feel like I can ask for help. I hate that it took me so long to realize this wasn’t the therapist for me. I was too scared of being dramatic, so I let it go on for far too long, and now I feel like I’ve just become a burden-like. I hate that I let it get to that point, especially when I was paying for this. I just want to give up. I feel broken down, and I don’t even want to be okay anymore.
