😞

oh, i really feel for you~ i've been there so many times, feeling like nothing will ever change 😞 what’s helped me get through those tough moments is to remind myself that OCD is just like an annoying radio station that plays in the background—you don't have to listen to it or take it seriously! it’s 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~ you’ve got this!!!

Have you tried any erp therapy? I’ve definitely felt what you are going through, worried that it will never end and it’s a scary thought. Something that’s helped me is radical acceptance statements. It feels a little scary at first to say something like “maybe it could happen, maybe not” but over time it will Help your brain realize those thoughts aren’t a threat. I also watch this guy on YouTube, his channel name is ocd and anxiety and his videos have helped me a ton! It’s going to get better ❤️

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 you’ve been trying therapy. It could be that you simply haven’t 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? You’re not alone… ever. And I feel your pain… I feel the same way many times.
