Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) Support Group

Like your avatar. Funny!

I have fought loneliness, boredom and depression along with OCD and GAD for decades now. It does suck. My anger went away but is back now in a BIG way.

I am sorry you do not have access to med care because I am sure some ERP and meds could help you.

There are community mental health centers that charge on a sliding scale (what you can afford) and most drug companies have "patient assistance programs" where you get meds for free (I have).

Keep fighting and educating yourself on OCD. Hopefully med care will becaome afforable for you.

Good luck and best wishes.

oh and thanks for the reply man i was just kind of leting it out of my chest

I know how you feel, or at least a little bit. I always feel like I have no one around me and that I'm just going through life in a constant daze, like a zombie. I hate how OCD has changed me, I used to be very optimistic. Now I'm afraid to let anyone in, because I think that if I told someone about my OCD they wouldn't understand. It also sucks because I see everyone around me getting engaged, married, having kids, and what do I get? A mental disorder. It doesn't seem fair. I feel like I can't enjoy life to the fullest anymore, because it always feels like something is wrong. Sorry, I know I'm being a Debbie Downer, but I can sort of relate to your post. I feel so tired and annoyed with this, and the sad part is I haven't even been dealing with this for that long. And your last question is one I ask myself nearly every day: How the hell did I get like this?

Take life one day at a time and look for anything positive and build from there. You are in my prayers :) P.S. You are not alone....

Hi.

I can relate to the loneliness, zombie feeling etc. I had to pull myself out of the gutter. What I did was stay at home with mom for a while and paid a low rent while I tried to fix myself. I also paid rent while staying in another place using a student loan.

I didn't know I had OCD then, so I was quietly suffering.. while I was building my own business, trying to study and working long hours.

If you're "grown up" it might seem like a let-down to move back with your parents, but you have an illness, and you need help and care. :)

Otherwise, maybe talking to the boss and explaining your situation will give you some days off or time to research what options are out there.

Maybe even take up a small loan to get some expertise and meds,,
