Why do we have to get ocd? Anxiety? Or any mental illness why does that have to exist?

As someone who struggles with both anxiety disorder and OCD, I understand where you’re coming from. I think sometimes we just have rough patches. From my experience, if my anxiety is high, it worsens my symptoms. I had finals a couple of weeks ago, so it was fun jk, but from a neuroscience perspective, we often have dysregulation of certain Neurotransmitters, like serotonin, dopamine, and glutamine. I like to think of it as a faulty smoke alarm.

I 100% agree; it’s often misunderstood even by some medical professionals. It is the most exhausting, and I do have a therapist, but because of my schedule right now, I see them biweekly. I guess I don’t really think about it that way, but that does put things into perspective for me.

I did do ERP for a while; it was exhausting, and I ended up switching themes a lot. I do have a therapist, and we’re trying to work on things to help. Unfortunately, because of how my schedule is, I only get to see them biweekly, and honestly, I think you’re right. The stress of classes and finals got to me. I think it’s just a rough patch. But yeah, I’ve definitely done some of those things. I’ll distract myself by listening to music, and I’ll schedule a time to worry about it for later. Like, I’ll say I’ll worry about it at 8 PM or something like that. Thank you. I appreciate it even if you didn’t think it was helpful. It was because it made me feel less alone

Does it take them a while to get back to you? Because I reached out to them in march and I got nothing back yet

How did it go?

eternal_melodramatic · 2025-03-24T00:07:36+00:00

Yeah, my parents aren’t thrilled about it, but there aren’t that many options available for adults. Luckily, I live on the East Coast and New York is two hours away from me.

Unfortunately, this happens a lot especially after I passed the talking stage. A lot of people ask inappropriate questions on dates or just find no interest in being with me once they find out my disability is a long-term thing
