Hey /adv/,
I really need help. I suffer from bad anxiety, depression, and OCD and it affects every area of my life.
It stops me from working out like I used to and relaxing on days that I actually have off. I'm so exhausted. I just can't deal with this anymore.
I've changed my diet and started taking vitamins but the invasive thoughts and impulses just won't stop. I work out in solitude because I'm too scared to go to the gym. Not because the people there but because of my own repetitive thoughts. I always end up working at the same machines multiple times or start crying because there are so many mirrors and I don't know which one to focus on.
It's like I'm everywhere and I can't focus. I start studdering and gasping for air, my arm goes numb, and then i end up rushing out like my house is on fire.
I joke to close friends about all of "muh spaghetti" but in reality, it is pushing me closer to my own self destruction.
I can't do it anymore, brehs. Please, does anyone have any experience or advice? I'm pretty much desperate and devastated at this point.

It's not rocket science dude. Go see a doctor and try different meds. Keep in mind that if you really do have brain problems and aren't just being a emo fag, then you're in for the long haul. There's no silver bullet that will magically make you "normal", but you'll probably get better over time when you learn to manage your anxiety/depression or find a drug that works.

Go to a psychiatrist. This is why they exist.

OCD is not a first-world problem. It's not even a human problem, it can be induced in animals as well.
It's considered almost purely biological and genetic: if your identical twin has OCD, you're basically guaranteed to have it too.
In a different environment, OP would simply have different worries to obsess over, and different fears to drive compulsive behavior.

I have OCD, ADD and Dyslexia and I learned to just live with all that shit but I did have bouts of depression for a while and the best thing that helped me was phisical exercise. Just running and shit mostly. If you don't like that theres yoga and stuff but just forget everything and try to just focus on exercising, it helped me a lot anyway.
