not about ocd but i need advice

do uh, i’m contemplating faking sick to miss school tomorrow, because it’s friday and i don’t feel like going.. it’s because of a lot of stuff, i recently went through friend drama and lost my friends and i’m shy and socially anxious so it’s hard for me to talk, and i don’t feel wanted by the people i sit with for lunch i feel like a burden.. plus i have a bunch of classes with my ex best friends which hurts and stresses me out. and ocd makes it hard for me every day on top of that so i’m.. just making it through every week to be honest :( i feel bad to fake sick, but i want to stay home tomorrow and, apparently the guidance counselor is worried about me because i seem depressed

I feel for you and have experienced feeling like that a lot when I went to school and it's really hard to get out of especially if you're under strict rules. School is so stressful and with other problems to do with friendships and mental problems definitely make it worse, but I can totally understand how your feeling because I've been through the exact same thing. I'm not sure if your parents are strict but they should know if you are going through things if you think they will understand and be a help to you. Maybe in the morning you should say you need a break because it's been too much for you recently and that you've been working hard and it's only a one off, and if that doesn't work maybe the counselor could help if you want that, and I understand that maybe you wouldn't because of talking and being socially anxious because I have that too. My mum was lenient a lot and let me stay home whenever I was going through anything that would take away my attention, which is another thing you could say. Again I'm not sure about your situation and if you have strict parents, but you can try to reason with them or just your mum or dad I'm not sure, and they hopefully feel bad or sorry and let you have the day off. Most of the times it's about coping very sadly, I just got out of year 11 and it had been horrible for me years in and out, and it's very draining. All I can say is that time flys extremely fast even tho it doesn't feel like it and whatever year or grade you are in that it'll be over soon, and I'm always here if you do need a friend to talk to ❤️

Thanks for sharing. I'm older now, but I was going through the same things you and so many here are going through. I wish I could pull you ahead 10 or 20 years, because although every moment of every day feels like a lifetime to you, take comfort knowing that it's temporary. It will pass. Write the thoughts and feelings on the sail of a sailboat floating past and let them there. The boat may pass slower than you'd like and those thoughts and burdens may seem to last forever, but in time it will pass. Allow it, know and care for yourself. Your profile mentions Jesus, He's there for you. Always will be. In a way I'm caring for the teenage me as I write this to you. God's there, He knows. You're more than you even realize, just give it time. Big hugs to you!

Hi fresh panda, I'm sorry you're going through this by yourself. It's hard and your feelings matter and you should talk to your parent's as this can lead to more anxieties as time goes on. Running away from your feelings is not a solution but an escape. Our thoughts has a way to create more fear that make us scared and making the situation worse than it really is. No matter what happened btwn you and your friend's is not all on you but part of life as inexperienced and growth. We all do say things we don't mean and difficult to fix, but that's not all on you, and that's ok. Most People are forgiving and understanding. Try not to be so hard on yourself or other's. Remember school work is important and you still have a lot to learn. Your future depends in it. The Most important thing is your grades not who likes or dislikes you. Friends will come and go. But your time and education is all you have now and forever. Stay strong. You got this! 👊

@Someone99 I’m doing ok i guess ? Thank you for asking It’s a long weekend for me because i don’t have school on monday so i can rest for a bit before going back to school but im still battling with feeling like a bad person and ocd is trapping me, though i haven’t done compulsions for a few days now and im gonna keep on going, but now im sorta battling with feeling a bit hopeless and depressed about getting better. Because it feels too far gone with me like i wont go back to normal or go back to feeling like a good person Im sorry for saying a lot

@fresh panda Thank you for saying a lot. 🙂 I battle ocd's lies as well, "I'm the worst person in the world..." is a common voice for me. And I can relate to feeling hopeless. These are OCD lies. There's hope for all of us, you too, and you deserve healing. I'm always here if you need someone to write to. You're not alone. 🙂

ocd is controlling my life

hey everyone. i’m not sure if this app will help me or not, but i feel the need to try anything because i can’t keep living like this. i struggle with obsessing over everything in my life. it feels like everyday my brain picks a new thing in my life to obsess over. for the past couple days ive been obsessing over my interpersonal relationships. for example; “do i like the people im with” “do i like my friends as more than just friends” “do i actually love these people or am i lying to everyone”. it’s been really messing with me and making me question my support system. i can’t stop stressing. i’m even afraid to talk about it with my therapist because i have those thoughts about her too. i’m new to my OCD diagnosis (got diagnosed last month) i was hospitalized for a week because i couldn’t function. i also obsess over my sexuality and nothing i pick for me ever feels quite right. i recently started a relationship with someone who’s trans, so maybe that’s why? does anyone else go through this? my brain tries to convince me that i do this to myself and that im making it all up. but who would want to feel this way? uggghhh

“I’m not okay mom”

I’ve got ocd (lol obs) and I’ve always had it, and I’ve tried to tell my mom so many times. I’m 17, and for years I’ve had so many horrific (what I call) flare ups. And it sometimes feels like a bingo game w the amount of types I’ve had. Sometimes I really do just wish I could go to my mom and say “mom I’ve got ocd and it’s really bad atm and I just wanna be okay again because I know it’s ocd but I’m sick of it being there can I please please get some help please it’s not okay please get me some help.” The ironic part is she’s a frigging nurse. And she must just be in some kinda denial. I’m just kinda waiting for this part to pass, I’ve made it 17 years w nobody to help me. I’ve only just told my friends what it’s like but I said things that weren’t currently in my flare up. I swear I’m on the verge of being sectioned for psychosis at this point. But I have made it this far- it will go away at some point on its own. But why won’t my mom help me. Why’s she so defensive- (I know why just like “why oh why won’t she. Yk?) but she’s so blinded by no no it’s all okay everything is okay. I’m sat in my room thinking the only way I could make her see- mom I rly am not okay is if I k*//ed myself. Like, then she’ll be like “…ohhh so she wasn’t okaaay” 💀🥹 if any one person could read this, and just type that it’s okay or something not as obs and generic as “it’s okay” but like just something to show someone’s listened. Thanks. I’ll ignore my trust issues, it’s an ocd app we’re all out here struggling but thanks x🤍🤌

Could use some advice

Struggling today with my thoughts and maybe some dissociation. I can’t get any clear thoughts. I felt like lately I’ve started to recover and then the past few days have felt so hard. I feel scared for the future. I am scared I don’t have enough hope for living with ocd. I am scared that I’m not gonna be happy. I’m scared I’ll chose to end my life over this. I’m scared I’ll want to end my life. I feel weird. My thoughts are jumbled today. Something feels like it’s going to happen and that’s what is giving me anxiety.
