everything is getting worse

[vivi_x]

this is my first post on here so I'm not sure what to put, things have been getting really hard for me lately and I've found myself in a position with my mental health that is so much worse than I have been in years. It hasn't been good on my relationships with other people and I don't really have anyone to turn to. any advice would be appreciated

Hi Vi, I'm so sorry to hear this but you're not alone!! I think most of us have been where you are at one point or another, you've come to a good group. Hang in there, it will get better!

thank you both for your replies, its just really hard to see the good in the situation when instead of getting better I'm getting worse

Hi Vi

Have you been diagnosed with OCD? Have you had therapy for it? We recommend cognitive behavioural therapy, which is a talking therapy aimed at breaking the cycle of compulsions that maintain OCD. I also highly recommend the self-help book Break free from OCD which will take you through the structure of CBT and help you to apply it to your situation.

yes I have been diagnosed, had several rounds of cbt, read the book 4 times and have my medication but sometimes it still gets bad
