Ugh

You are breathing. You are still alive. Thats tangible and can be believed. Yes things will improve with time. Seeing believing. The world is not imploding nor exploding. You can trust the science in that. Getting your mind to STOP is true work on our parts. I sometimes (hen truly depressed and physically tired from the anxiety and non stop worry) even if Im crying, go sit in front of a mirror and talk about it or just talk about anything, even make faces to try and get myself to hold it together. Yes whoever you live with will think it strange but their reaction is really funny sometimes!

Heeeey! Whatever you’re feeling will get better with time. 🙂

It gets easier

I’m sorry to hear that tonight has been rough! I’ve had a hard night too, so we’re all here together at least What’s helped me is just remember you have so much life ahead and some of your favorite memories haven’t even been made yet! There are countless good days waiting for you and so many exciting experiences that are still yet to happen😌 I recently saw a video that really resonated with me. It basically asked you to imagine being an older person who gets the chance to be young and full of life again, even if just for a day and suddenly all the things you “have to do” become things you “get to do”. This perspective made me realize that nothing is actually as scary as it seems. Even with OCD and intrusive thoughts I feel so so grateful for where I am and wouldn’t change my life for anything

Things always get better. That is something to look forward to. :)!

When we are stuck in an ocd bubble we lose sight of ourselves and perspective. Things are never as bad as the ocd mind percieves. Remember you are not your thoughts, Dont judge yourself or the thoughts. Let thoughts be meaningless. Practice being kind to yourself. It will pass I promise you! Most importantly you are not alone.

Hey! Same here, just remember tomorrow, once you head to bed and get rested, will be an amazing day.
