Ocd is a cruel cruel illness, I’ve gone through months of hell with it and still no better, I sometimes think will it ever get better, but I have a little glimpse of hope that it will, i have a wonderful husband, the best family, a lovely house and I’m still so lonely, depressed and simply don’t want to be here but we keep going despite the cruelty of the illness, try to think of the good days/times, I know they are few and far between but when the good times occur embrace and enjoy every second you deserve it, keep smiling where possible and remember your not alone, always here if you need to talk x

Thanks! Exactly, I was doing well, on an upswing and then one little obsession has worked its way in and destroyed my progress. Then sleeping turns bad, eating becomes hard and my partner becomes more frustrated. Unfortunately I dont have a close family and my symptoms have alienated most of my close friends. I lost my job etc...but my cousin has really supported me with such generosity and I love birds, reading, music, I am grateful for the beauty in the world.
