Hey there, i suffer from depression, anxiety, ADHD and OCD.

dealing with my OCD is horrible and i can’t find any solutions it’s gotten that bad i’m ready to go on medication to quite my brain, the side of OCD that i have tell me that i have to do something or something bad will happen for example, i have to check that the door is locked 3 times before i go to bed or something bad will happen. it’s very exhausting and time consuming. i also have the obsessive side of it witch cause me to obsess over my intrusive thoughts mainly. my OCD also like to tells me lies like “if i think it it must be true” or “if i keep thinking about it it will become true” and etc. ATM i’m struggling with my OCD telling me that i’m allergic to everything i’m going to eat witch it therefore causing me not to eat anything witch i fear will eventually make me quite sick. It’s making me feel like i’m crazy and it’s making me hate myself.

I also struggle with making friends as i live in a small town and no body is accepting of who i am they all call me weird.

I find it hard to accept or seek out help as i feel my problems are not as big as everyone else’s.

@enthusiasticNickel5008 I just want to assure you that your "problems" are very much real and your feelings are most definitely valid. You have a right to feel as you do and you should never compare your "problems" to others or think any less of the struggles you are going through at the moment. Yes, others may have things they are facing that may seem bigger than yours but it does take not away from yours! I am so sorry to hear that you struggle with OCD amongst other things. It is real and I can see why you are feeling the way you do. It is affecting your health and you are not eating as a result and that is alarming. Your body really needs nourishment. I may not understand to what agree it is affecting your every day living but I empathize with you! :( <3 I bet you are an amazing person and I want you to know you are not weird. You will find people who accept you as you are. True acceptance is a beautiful thing. Please reach out to a listener here if you ever need support. You are not a bother. Listeners are here to help. <3
