pls talk to me I need support

Hi @Former-Member

It's okay; you don't have to apologise. And it's completely fine that you're young. Good on you for reaching out and asking for help.

I'm nearly 50 but I'm more like an 18 year old in my head, if you know what I mean. I'm very much in touch with my inner child and inner teenager. You are welcome to talk to me anytime and ask me anything you want.

And there are lots of kind, friendly people on here who you can talk to about anything.

Thank you so so much! I think I'm having like ocd type things happening to me but I get so so panicked when I'm at home at the moment because the house is triggering me. And I don't want to die. I don't know what to do anymore. I'm sorry I don't want to put my problems on to other people but I just need people to talk to

Hi, you're not putting your problems onto anyone; it's okay. You have come to the right place for help and support.

It sounds awful having OCD-like symptoms. Is that what you mean? Is it like having anxiety? Please excuse my ignorance about obsessive compulsive disorder; I'm not sure what it's like. I have severe depression and anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder.

Is there anything that helps/makes you feel better when you're feeling like this?

I would say ocd like symptoms yea. Things feel 'wrong' like my phone case or the way my room is arranged or things like that. People also do if they trigger me too many times then I can't be near them because of the anxiety but then for me it turns to the person being 'wrong'. It's difficult to explain and more difficult for people to understand. It's like anxiety but more panic for me than anxiety.

oh that sounds awful, I hope you are ok!

there isn't anything that really helps. I have multiple issues and my anxiety comes out as physical symptoms. For example it's currently 2:40am where I live right now and I'm laying in bed unable to move my legs. And I can't take medication because of too many bad experiences.

You're fine haha it's difficult to understand 🙂

Oh sorry, I keep forgetting to tag you. You can tag people on here and this will send them an email notification.

I will tag you and a couple of other people on here so they can join in the conversation.

Sorry, I'm a slow typer (I'm on my phone).

I'm just going to make myself a cup of tea and I will be right back. I have tagged some people and I'm sure one of them can find some people you can connect with.

Don't worry, I will be right back.

Thank you so so much!
It's all good .

Okay, I'm back now.

I know what you mean about being triggered by other people. That happens to me too.

It sounds awful, especially not being able to move your legs.

Does it help to talk about what's going on? Your symptoms and how you're feeling?

Sometimes but it can also make it more real for me if I do. So it sort of depends honestly. And it's difficult to explain to people and then my brain can't put sentences together properly sometimes so people never understand
