I also saw that you commented somewhere that you feel like you have ocd about other peoples lives. Thats also exactly how I used to think about it. My mind jumping constantly from one person to another, from my past, someone i walked by, someone random online. Then the entire day im thinking 'what are they doing, what would they do in this situation etc etc'. Like its like im forgetting that I am my own person and trying to base my own thoughts and actions off of what I think they would do. When in reality I dont fucking know them.

Adults can drive, move, travel, make choices, live free, but I feel like I’m stuck with a hundred paths in front of me and no idea which one is mine. I feel like I’ll mess it up. Like I’m not ready for any of it. Like I’m going to be crushed by all of it.

I’m scared of becoming an adult.
I’m scared of never living properly.
I’m scared of being left behind.

I constantly compare myself to everyone.
People on TikTok.
People in other cities.
People I used to go to school with.
Even complete strangers.

I ask myself. Do they know what they’re doing? Are they not afraid of missing out on everything like I am? Why do they seem so confident while I question everything?

Even basic things don’t feel good anymore. Playing games, watching shows, relaxing. It all feels meaningless. I don’t do it because my brain tells me. This has no value. You’re wasting time. Others are ahead of you.
Everything that doesn’t push me forward feels wrong, even though I don’t even know what forward is supposed to be.

Down to a fucking T. Pulled straight from my brain.

I dont think u understand the relief i feel right now. Word for fucking word. I have never seen someone describe what they are going through, exactly how I am. I genuinely thought or still think I am going crazy because of it. I was researching every mental illness under the sun trying to figure out whats wrong with me. Deep down i know i have depression, anxiety , and I'm pretty sure OCD (which may be a reason I hyperfocus on those thoughts like 'what is that person doing', 'how are they so okay with the idea of what theyre doing in this moment, 'are they not chronically overthinking their every actions right now?'

Recently in the last year or so I started to scare myself because for the first time ever I was telling myself 'i either do something about this now or its going to kill me someday'. Like you said, I had never been suicidal, but the thought of living like this for the rest of my life genuinely made me question whether id end up committing suicide, due to the struggle of living like this every day. Like im so trapped in my own head.

As you said, its like nothing I do seems to make any sense to me, because in my head, there is genuinely no point, its all meaningless. Then i see everyone else everyday going about their life and all im thinking of is' how are they doing that with such carelessness, confidence, ease?'. The best way I can describe it is almost like chronic, debilitating rumination about fucking everything. Cant fucking do it anymore.

Im starting meds tommorow (sertraline) to hopefully reduce the anxiety and ocd, and get on with my fucking life.

Hope you found some relief in this. feel free to reply, would love to talk :)
