I’m unhappy, I suffer for no reason. And the fact that I perceive that I am suffering just makes me suffer more. I don’t know what living means, as soon as I make a move I’ve made the wrong decision. I am in a constant battle internally, with disassociation and my whole existence at large. I’m self pitying, depressed, anxious, empty, confused about it and do nothing at all.

If i see that there is no choice I can make to be happy again, what do I do? If no thought or action can fix all my confusion, stress, anxiety, frustration, and all the emptiness I carry around, what can i do? Because as soon as i make an attempt or exert my energy, it’s not good enough. If i look at that fact with intensity, is the reality of it clear? Only choicelessly can I be free, living effortlessly, not with a million choices or thoughts in front of me and having to pick one. If you see what that implies, it’s possible to live without suffering like this

I remember when I was in the same place…time seemed to stand still …almost like it was purposely exaggerating the misery…now lookin back I dread how much time I spent in that place…not sure any of us have a choice but to trudge through it…I remember feeling like my time was up..the harder I fought the deeper i sank…but we all have a future with positive things that we can’t foresee…the moment we give up is when we find something to be grateful for…I have a great life now after years of agony but I still fight to stay level everyday….we all have to make new memories to fill the void of our past traumas.

I completely understand. I have very severe OCD surrounding my own existence, the existence of my family, the outside world, my friends, I’m extremely numb to my surroundings. I took a bath but it feels like it never happened, and everytime I try to retrieve memory of it, my ocd latches and says “what if that never happened?” It only perpetuates the DPDR so much so I am bound to my bedroom some days. My ability to think has drastically fallen, I feel so numb and awful, I feel terrible. My mind will try to convince me that the objects I see around me aren’t there, or that my brain is so damaged the objects I see aren’t the “real” objects they are (what if the bed I see isn’t a bed)

My ocd was self harm…there was no escape..if I did something to one part of my body I’d have to do it to the other…ocd always finds something else to cling to….but I promise it is not forever…your body and mind cannot keep this goin forever…my processes slowed down after years of chronic stress.

We all need our fight back…whatever that means to you all…do it…and if u feel your body is not helping you fight..find out why..the common theme amongst us all is emotional suppression…honestly crying is the best thing U can do to ground urself if u are helpless.
