I have not started OCD therapy yet

I have not had the best of days lately.

I haven’t had the best of days lately. I’ve obsessed and compulsively acted so much to the point that my life is currently out of control. I’ve ruined lives this week and hurt others feelings badly. I’m at a loss and do not know what to do. I don’t start therapy until the 6th and am not on meds at the moment because I haven’t started therapy yet. I fear for the next few days and don’t know how to survive the next couple of days.

So sorry you feel so bad Sami! Sometimes listening to music and exercise is a good release for me. If you need to talk ever you can message me anytime ok!! Hugs!

I’ve been listening to music. But it’s not helping too much. I thought about going for a walk but haven’t found the ambition to get up and do it. I’m feeling so depressed.

Jennifer Nicholson
I know it is so hard. Just try not to let it win ok. Getting up is a strong first step and fresh air may help you feel a little better. Are you able to talk about your obsessions and compulsions here? Sometimes it helps.

Sami Jo Wilcken
Yes I can talk on here. My messenger isn’t working properly.

Jennifer Nicholson
OK what have you been obsessing about?

Sami Jo Wilcken
I separated from my husband about 3 months ago and for the first month or so I was OK. But the last month has been hard. I’ve had a lot of time to focus on my issues and disorders and they are too much to handle. I obsess about everything. You name it I start obsessing about it. And when it gets too bad I act compulsively which usually results in a big fight, guilt, feeling depressed, and worthless

Jennifer Nicholson
I am sorry to hear that. I went through that a few years back after my divorce. I know this sounds very cliché but I had a friend who started pushing me to eat cleaner and join a gym . I started working out and that is the best I ever felt. I also wrote everything down before I said it. I am a red head which for me equals big mouth and bad temper. It is a hard time so I can understand. It is very hard to come back from bad compulsions, but give it a try if you feel you can. If not feel free to vent anytime to me.

Sami Jo Wilcken Thank you

Jennifer Nicholson Your welcome. Sorry it’s not much help.

Sami Jo Wilcken
It was I think I am going to go find a notebook that I can carry around with me to write down the thoughts. Thank you
