Anyone up? OCD/Feeling worthless and low

Just wondered if anyone was up. I’m so down at the moment and keep thinking my husband is better off without me. I’m not suicidal at all but feel I want to run away and hide. I have ocd and my intrusive thoughts are loud and awful. Struggling so much. I’m exhausted but can’t sleep or eat.

I don’t have any advice because I’m exactly the same but just wanted you to know you’re not alone. Xxx

Thank you @TheFrustratedRedhead. It’s painful isn’t it? I really hate myself and my brain right now.

Oh gosh it really is. My life is so good and I feel so much guilt for having such a horrible brain that’s out to spite me and make me feel worthless and bleak. I’ve been prescribed sertraline and have self referred for counselling this week (mine is post natal depression). Taking a stand against my mind has made me feel slightly more positive in itself if you see what I mean! X

So sorry to hear this but really hope that counselling and sertraline help you. Xx Mine is ocd that’s flared up due to a big life change and I feel so incredibly out of control it’s painful for me and my rigid, annoying brain 😖
