    Feeling foolish for asking for help

    Okay so, long story short, I more than likely have OCD, and lately I've been feeling really depressed. I've emailed my pastor before asking for advice regarding my breakup with my ex, but almost every time I email him, I feel like I shouldn't. It's not that he's mean, I just feel like I'm being...

    I'm been feeling horrible

    I've been feeling horrible since May. I broke up with my bf on May 13th, and I've been feeling miserable ever since. I was 27 when we started dating, and we dated for a little over a year.

    Coming back after a long time…

    Oof, I don’t even know how to start this. I used to be heavily active on this forum for a little while a few years ago because I was suffering heavily from OCD and was always seeking assurance and wanting answers for my questions. Sometime between then and now, I got heavily involved with...
