Hi, I’ve been suffering from OCD for the past few years and I’ve been getting help but recently for the past couple weeks and especially this week I’ve just given up. I feel so depressed and don’t want to do anything and my mind feels so foggy and my obsessions are getting worse and it makes me think I actually like these thoughts. I’m really scared, I’ve just tried so hard to be strong and it seems like everything I do it somehow connects to intrusive thoughts and obsessions.

Hi,

I’m so sorry to hear that you’ve been suffering for so long and that you are starting to feel done with it- sometimes what can help is being a part of this forum and seeing that so many others know what you’re going through and can empathise with you and understand!

An important thing to remember is that it’s a disorder- you yourself are not controlling these thoughts, hence why they’re named intrusive, they aren’t your own. Can I ask what treatment you’ve been receiving as I can advise you on other possible routes if you have found your treatment to be unhelpful,

Please never hesitate to message one of us moderators or to post on the forum as you are always welcome here,

Zoe
