oh, i really feel for you~ i've been there so many times, feeling like nothing will ever change đ whatâs helped me get through those tough moments is to remind myself that OCD is just like an annoying radio station that plays in the backgroundâyou don't have to listen to it or take it seriously! itâs so important not to be hard on yourself because living with OCD is incredibly tough, and you're doing your best in your wonderfully messy mind. remember, even when it feels like you're just getting by, you're still moving forward, and that's a victory in itself!! sending you so much hope and encouragement~ youâve got this!!!
@obrooks thankyou i just feel how long can i keep being dragged down by the same thoughts and situation i have real event ocd so its always the same thing i had cbt the beginning of the year but i feel nothing is working its the constant uncertainty keeping me in a loop
@NaggingOCD So itâs the obsessions and compulsions that are dragging you down. Remember that trying to reason with it or trying to feel differently is not going to work because that is putting your focus there. I think mindful awareness, being as present as possible, and gradual exposure (if you havenât already tried it) can be vital here.
Have you tried any erp therapy? Iâve definitely felt what you are going through, worried that it will never end and itâs a scary thought. Something thatâs helped me is radical acceptance statements. It feels a little scary at first to say something like âmaybe it could happen, maybe notâ but over time it will Help your brain realize those thoughts arenât a threat. I also watch this guy on YouTube, his channel name is ocd and anxiety and his videos have helped me a ton! Itâs going to get better â¤ď¸
This is a common thought for many, especially those with OCD or other anxiety disorders. I feel your pain. Normally this is where I would give some advice or say something to help you feel better, but not only do I know that may not help, but I would feel like a hypocrite because I feel the same way. However the one thing that I find wonderful about you is that at least you want to be happy, and at least youâve been trying therapy. It could be that you simply havenât found the right therapist or type of therapy for you yet, or perhaps you need to begin or change up your medication? Also, have you tried regular exercise and meditation? Youâre not alone⌠ever. And I feel your pain⌠I feel the same way many times.
I struggle with self harm and depression. I told my doctor a week ago that I have suicidal thoughts and she put me on an anxiety/depression med and she said it could make things better or worse. I have noticed I barely eat anything anymore and I started to self harm more. I go through my day struggling and Iâve lost my friends and I stay in my room 24/7. I donât feel like doing anything anymore. People say âoh itâll get betterâ or âyouâll overcome itâ or âdonât worry itâll be okayâ but guess what itâs not true. I feel like no one gets me or no one will listen to me. No one understands the pain I go through every second of the day trying my hardest to put on a fake smile. I canât do it anymore. I want it to stop.
as the title says. i am trying, i really am but i cant help but think that i have been gay this whole time. it feels like i can never be happy again unless i come out. i cant do it anymore. everyday is hard. there are not easy days. i just want to love my partner and i cant. i look at him and i get this wave of anxiety and guilt. why can i just be me again? i miss the days there this was just a past thing. i feel alone and i feel stuck like this forever. my heart hurts all the time. i am trying to sit with uncertainty but i cant because it feels certain and that i know i am gay but i dont want to be. its really really sad. i hate my life and i need it to end. bye.
I think Iâm going through the hardest depression right now. Iâve never felt so compelled to just stop getting up and stop living. I know itâs hard to hear, I just really feel bad. Right now I even feel like an attention seeker. I just wanted to know, are there any tips to raise me from this hole im in? Has anyone else felt like this an pulled themselves out?
