  1. I have nothing left. I have lost the only person that wanted me for me and loved me for me. She understood me in ways nobody else could. I have no idea what to do now, whether there is any chance or hope of being together again. Waiting is all I have done my whole life and its killing me. I just wish I knew for sure if there was a chance is or if its pointless and things will never be good again. I'm stuck in my head 24/7 with thoughts and images flying at me with such scary detail. I thought I finally had a shot at life and love and being happy and I guess I was wrong. I don't want to be here any more if this is my life from now on. What did I do to deserve this? I want the pain to go away.

  2. Dear ocdlonely,

    Sorry that you're feelin so low at the moment. You need to focus on the future rather than the past and concentrate on getting well. Things will be good again. OCD is cyclical, and recovery is highly likely. A few months from now you may find it hard to recall how you feel right now.

    If you can gonand see your doctor and discuss your medication and other avenues. Concentrate on the OCD and the other things may resolve themselves.

    Best wishes

    David.

  3. Things seem bad right now but time can change things. It can't help with the added torment of OCD. If I were you I would explore some treatment to deal with the OCD- maybe in time the relationship will have another chance. It feels hopeless right now ( I've experienced that feeling) but you can feel better in time. Be good to yourself.

  6. So sorry you are feeling so low, Daniel. I do hope you will speak to your GP.

    David, I do wish my OCD was cyclical. I think it varies from person to person, but for some of us it seems pretty relentless.

    P.S. Don't know what happened, but the message appeared in triplicate.

    It happens sometimes, but I have deleted the two copies of this post for you.

  7. Hello, just joined today and while my state of mind makes me not much help please be aware that you are not alone. OCD has consumed me and now I want it to spit me out. We must believe that contented minds CAN be ours. Keep typing-I will I can't wash my hands while I type-my first positive!!!
