My OCD is ruining my life. It is holding me from doing anything at all. I'm imprisoned. I want it to GO AWAY.

The same.
It's getting really bad. Every single day it's something new to drive myself insane over.
I don't know when I'll finally seek help but I've got to do something

You're the person who is worried about inhaling particulates in the air?

Posted this in a similar thread but I had severe OCD that ruined my life in many ways, got helped a ton by medication. On Venlafaxine which works great, would recommend trying it

I am.
I have almost three years of this now, every day. I want to explode. I'm trapped. I do nothing now. I don't brush my teeth. I don't bathe. I don't leave bed. I don't open my mouth to speak. I don't speak to anyone. I can't do anything without a huge argument with myself. I went to a store to purchase earphones and spent probably one hour just standing in the aisle thinking whether or not I should purchase these $10 earphones, which to purchase etc.. going into the country of origin, materials used in the product which will contact my skin and the toxicology of them, the morality of giving myself earphones, whether or not I deserve it.
I want to explode.
I don't want to do that. It will require rituals just to see a paychologist. My OCD tells me that it's actually good for me. It "keeps me in touch with hardship and makes me stronger than other people for enduring it". It's making me into a masochist or something. Even when I say "this is not good for me" My OCD twists it into why it IS good for me.
NOW, i've done it for almost 3 years, so my primary issue is
>you'e come this far, if you quit now them you're a weak failure. You will never amount to anything if you can't do this. You can' handle one more day of rituals? You're pathetic. You're just like everyone else. You'll never be the person you've always wanted to be. He would be capable of enduring this.
Them I say "I can't quit now. After 3 years, I'm too far into it to quit. I want to prove the OCD wrong. I am strong and can do it."
I feel like it makes me feel superior to others, or special, because they wouldn't be able to endure this. What a joke. What a disgusting logic this disorder gives you. I hate it. I hateit so much. It is ruining my life. It is taking everything away.

I had OCD for years. A very severe form. I fixed it with no medication. I can help you if you want, but I need to understand certain reasons for why you are doing it. My rituals used to take up 10-12 hours every day for nearly 2 years. It is honestly fixable but requires real effort and introspection.

>I need to understand certain reasons for why you are doing it.
You would need to elaborate.

I have OCD too OP. How is your diet? I've greatly improved my OCD recently by changing what I eat, but I'm still working on improving it even more.
Jordan Gray
I'm sorry to hear that fren. I have OCD as well. I'm 24 and have suffered from it for 10-11 years now. It got a lot better when I went to therapy when I was around 14, but it's gotten worse in recent years. Have you seen any specialists?
David Gonzalez
My diet is very restricted. Right now, I only eat four items(including water). I eat the exact same thing each day. It requires rituals. It is tedious and painful.
I have not. I almost did but then I did not bother going. They won't help me. My OCD will just twist everything they say like it does with these threads.
