Hey everyone,
When everything falls apart when you have OCD, one may immediately or eventually begin to contemplate killing him or herself. It's because when the mechanics of the brain short-circuit or go haywire, the only ultimate solution to the pain and suffering may seem to be suicide. The OCD drags you down further and further into the depths of oblivion, into the lowest circles of hell. BUT...
We survive, we persevere, we fight for our lives, we battle with the armies of OCD with the power of our will, our soul, our hearts, and our faith. Something as debilitating as OCD can make anyone a more competent person for having learned to deal with it. It's extremely undermining not only to mental health, but also to physical health, which reveals itself in symptoms such as fatigue.
Remember, the one thing that you can always hang on to, no matter how descending the OCD may become, is COURAGE. Bravery is the thing that can get you through. And remember, you have to learn the tricks of OCD and how it twists and turns to get you to fall into the traps of rituals. You have to know your enemy very well, because this enemy will find ANY way to put you down and make you feel hopeless.
Remember to LAUGH, SHARE, and have COURAGE.
With love,
Tareq
