Afraid of everything?!

Has anyone else ever felt like this?
I have severe ocd (mainly the obsessions) and as a result bad anxiety. All through school and college I didn't really have any friends because of it and was always judged which made things worse. I don't have much of a life and struggled all through college. My parents and I argue a lot because they don't understand my disorder. It's gotten to the point where I'm always on edge and afraid of everything in life, like I literally don't know what to do! I'm afraid to live my own life in fear people will judge and I will make mistakes. My medication doesn't help and I'm just always scared my thoughts always control me. Anyone else ever feel like this?

i have no friends no facebook

and im banned on most forums why they make excuse because i dont fit post and English to perfection

it hurts but you have to look in that mirror every day and start saying things gifts you have

counseling to show the wonderful gifted person you are

without bs your posts seem like you have a great person inside that you have to take hold of

my fam dont like or understand me i have this and 10 or more other disorders

it comes to can i change it can i live with it that kind of thinking

realizing im a great wonderful person everyone is missing out on

took me a long road to get there and only having my wife i still get upset

there's hope and solutions were here for you best wishes

Hi there, i have severe OCD as well. Mine is in compulsive cleaning the house and my thoughts never stop : )
Im just getting on top of my anxiety now.
Friends and family should always be the ones to give you unlimited support, even if they dont understand what your going through..
You know, mistakes arn't a bad thing, we need to make them in life in order to know what is right and wrong, and what makes us sad and happy.
Goodness, i had a fear for years of the world going to end. Its an aweful feeling going through it alone and the racing thoughts being so uncontrolled.
You sound like a really wonderful person who just wants to make others happy, but your forgetting about yourself and your happiness.
Have you considered some form of therapy, even just for confidence building ?
It also sounds like your having self esteem issues and i know its a terrible feeling.
You need to focus on you and realise you deserve every bit of happiness in life.
I went through what your experiencing, and i only got better about 2 1/2 years ago. Can you get your meds reavaluated with your prescribing doctor. Sometimes our brain gets too used to the same meds and has less effect on us over time. I just wanted to give you my support and let you know, your not alone : )  Hang in there  : )
