like i want to just die. but i'm scared. i'm scared to live. i'm just scared. i've had to take 2 days off work. i feel hopeless. i feel so intensely frustrated. i've cried 70% of the last 2-3 days. i don't know how to cope.

i fear i am going braindead.
i fear i am dying.

i feel i will die and there will be no relief, just eternity of suffering like this.

please, someone offer some comforting words or something, i feel so lost

FACT: You are not going brain dead.
FACT: You will not die.

It is hard for me to find words that will comfort you as I'm in the exact same position at the moment.

I would recommend you spoil yourself with lots of chill out time and some healthy eating.

Try to find yourself a good movie to get lost into or a good book as I'am about to do right now.

Get your mind on something that relates in no shape or form towards this SYMPTOM.

Because thats all it is, a truely horrorfying symptom.

Dear Flowingly and Imagine, right now I am going through your same dilemma, I too have feelings of dread and I think "Will this pain ever end?" And you know what? I have had MANY episoded of ocd and dr/dp in my life, since I was 17 (I am now 41) and I have always come out of them.We will be normal again, whatever is normal to each one of us, HUGS, hang in there, it will pass!

You can and you will. Repeat after me; you can and you will. You can and you will. This is NOT a life sentence.

Yeah hopefully it's not a life sentance, just mental probation.
