Suffering
I’m so sad all the time and struggle with s*icidal ideation because of my ocd,I think about it all the time I’m in so much pain and therapy isn’t helping.

I’m rookie of this app from taiwan, and i am suffering from ocd for half year. Most of them is about sth i have done and that may “barely”lead to some tragedy. I knew it barely happened but my mind doesn’t agree with it, my mind always show the most awful results to me, like somebody’s death. And an hour ago I suddenly think what if some day I can’t afford the pain from OCD and choose to s*icide, this thought make me soooo scared, I’m with you, we can get better together. Btw my English may not so good.
Are you doing ERP therapy? This type of therapy can feel like it's not working initially this is usually the brain readjusting. Keep moving forwards no matter how slowly or how small the steps are. Each step gets you closer to recovery. You've got this! If you're concerned about treatment talk to your therapist about it, there maybe something they could help you with. 🙏
@Claire Thompson UK No I’m not doing ERP
@lina_.m Which therapy are you doing CBT?
I want to let you know who ever is reading this that God loves you so much. I understand how hurtful and hard OCD can be, as I go through it as well. Please feel free to vent, whichever you’re comfortable with and what ever is needed or have any questions about the Lord. Your lives are so worthy and you’re important as well as cared for. If you’re alright with it, could I share some scripture with you or recommend. If I could help any of you.
I’m really down and don’t have anyone i feel i can turn to. I’m just so tired of living as myself. I hate who i love with including myself. I feel so worthless. Having ocd on top of it makes me feel like im just a waste of space. I dont know how to stop feeling this way. Or if i deserve to. That’s all :(
I can't live with OCD anymore. It's ruining my life. I feel like I'm being constantly bullied in my own mind all day everyday. I don't know if what I think and feel is ever real or normal or okay, what is me and what is the OCD thoughts. I don't know if any of my experiences are normal. I'm exhausted from picking apart every single conversation I ever have with anyone until I'm strung out by a vague and ambiguous feeling of guilt. I'm tired of feeling like I'm a bad person and feeling scared all the time and not knowing why and having my brain spin me out on an endless spiralling train of thoughts that never goes anywhere and just makes me feel disconnected from everything and everyone around me. I don't know what I feel and if what I feel is normal or if anything I am doing is real and actually me or if I'm 'losing my mind.' I don't even know if this makes any sense. I get into these states of mind where every thought in my head and everything I feel and perceive makes me question my own sanity. I don't know if anyone likes me because I have absolutely no concept of what I am actually like. I feel completely lost and confused CONSTANTLY.
Hi fellow OCD warriors I'm at an all time low :( I've been battling ocd since I'm 11 years old now 31 I didn't get a diagnosis of ocd till I was 17 years old though! I also have a diagnosis of borderline personality disorder...depression and panic disorder ... I know myself what needs to be done in order to gain more self control and let ocd take the backdoor seat ! Erp I have seen and heard is the gold standard treatment for ocd...unfortunately my previous psychiatrist moved away and when I mentioned how I felt to new psychiatrist and that erp is main treatment he just laughed :( . I've had 8 months of basically talk therapy which I feel has made me question weather it was beneficial or not :( I left her room in tears weeks ago because she is retiring soon and said we were finishing up I just told her you can't help me anymore so I'll have to just go :( I feel guilty as she tried her best with me but unfortunately I'm stuck in a constant loop of thinking I'm responsible for someones death who I had an interaction with years ago due to my episodes with my bpd and past trauma and bullying been triggerd !and I know deep down right this is irrational and it's my ocd but I still can't shake the shame and guilt of it all and am half believing it's real and true :( this is going on weeks now and I'm tired! :( Responsibility ocd it is also and real life event I can indetify all of this but still feel ashamed guilty embarrassed and like I can't live with this 😕 Sorry for such a long post I appreciate your time and effort if you've read this far .
