Default introduction and hello

i guess this would be ones place to describe ones problems. anyways, here goes..

im 21, and have social anxiety/agoraphobia/OCD and it's all destroyed me.

i don't like to leave my home, but unfortunately because of my ocd im literally stuck in one clean spot. i sit there for days on end, rarely venturing outside, because i only then loose all conscience and am only there in body. i have no friends anymore, i couldnt handle more than one, and my best friend of year has unfortunately moved on. i have nothing, except this corner of a room in my home that ive been sitting in for years now. i'm afraid i've lost it, being like this. medicines don;t help, ive just recently tried my 17th to no avail, nore do cognative exercises.

i've wanted to die for a long time now, i just can't find a gun or anything feasable

Hi I'm sorry you are feeling the way you do right now.

I have the same anxiety disorder as you but I have never been on meds cause I have found ways to control to my best accord. Although it doesn't always work and I have major depression along with it so with the combo it's difficult and a lot of people get annoyed with me cause of certain things I can't do no matter how much I may want to. So I def know where you are coming from and I want to just die a lot too.

Dying isn't always the answer though. Think of all the stuff you may want to do later on. Even though it's hard to think you will ever get there, you will one day just take your time and move at baby steps.

Have you ever thought of getting off the meds? Do remember if you were the same or worse after taking them? That's one step to think about too.

I dunno if any of this helped you at all but you are not alone

Hey tom dula welcome.

To gather the juice that's been spent or been spilled
To find a spark in myself that hasn't been killed

And these Christmas dreams are just painted coal
