Waking up and facing the day with this horror in my head. Distraction doesn’t help. I’ve got no one to turn to, I have hardly any friends, my family don’t care, my career has been ruined, the local community mental health team is ignorant about OCD and I’m just tired of it. One thought one day in 1995 and it’s now 2022. I can’t go on like this.
I’m really sorry to hear you are struggling. I’d suggest calling the OCD action helpline. They really helped me think of a plan and a way to get though this. I’m sure you will be able to do this. Sending all my hope.
Thank you. I’ve been round the houses today ringing to get support – or treatment. The gist is apart from going to A&E which could lead to a psychiatric unit admission which I don’t want I’ve really little option but to grit my teeth and survive until I have an assessment with OCD Specialist Services where I live on February 3rd which seems a very very long way off. It’s not like I’ve never felt so distressed and hopeless before – I have – but I just don’t feel I have any coping strategies at all. It’s an awful way to feel as I know other sufferers know.
