Aw that's not great! You want to talk about it at all?
Everyday tasks are difficult for me too! OCD has turned my life around (not in a good way).
Creativity ftw! It's catchy!

It's great to hear you're overcoming that! I don't really know much about OCD and what might be helpful for you. Just an idea, could you maybe not do 1 (maybe the most minor seeming one) of the rituals and see what happens then gradually build up to skip more and more? Sorry if that's totally useless.

Yeah, I'm really hoping friday's psychiatrist will be good, I could really do with a hand with managing the voices. They were so loud during lab today but somehow I managed to pull off an 80% in the quiz which I'm really pleased with myself about.

I do indeed support the Panthers! Though I'm rooting for the Penguins atm as they're the first team I ever went to see so got a bit of a soft spot for them. Are you interested in hockey?

It's good to hear you're doing okay sorry for the delay in replying btw, been studying pretty constantly.

I'm quite variable at the moment; haven't had any full panic attacks recently, which is a good sign I guess, and my ED is under control

Just having massive dips, where I feel low and like nothing can get better. Idk if it's just stress, or a sign of anything worse - I'm surprised any of my friends still put up with me ahah

Idk what's wrong but probably my MH issue kicking in. Everything seems meaningless and that feeling is annoying because when I sat a exam a couple of weeks ago that feeling overtook me and I didn't give everything to the exam. And when my "healthy" side returned I was like wtf did I just do lol

I don't have OCD so I don't pretend to understand your struggles but what annoys me is when people make jokes out of OCD, PTSD etc. They wouldn't make a joke like "You look unwell, you must have cancer!" so why should they be allowed to make jokes out of mental illness

Have a good day

Yeah i understand that, no worries!
Really? Thats a long time, im sure things will improve before then!

Thank you Airmed i'll tty there x

Mental illnesses are awful!
Nothing is meaningless! Aw no! Im sure you did awesome in that exam!
You managed to do it so thats a positive sign!!OCD is super annoying!
Yes that annoys me massively too! I even started a blog on tsr to try and help peoples understanding of it all!
Exactly! No one does that so it should be the same with mental illnesses!
I hate it when people joke about it!

Thank you
They won't because they can't cos all my problems stem from my current situation which isn't going to change and is only going to get worse before i can move out.

Yeah a part of me knows nothing is meaningless but a big part of me just perceives everything meaningless and I am not always successful in fighting against it.
Realistically I couldn't have done awesome as I spent a third of the exam fighting against my thoughts, but at least I turned up

Your positivity and exclamation marks make me laugh XD it's incredible
