Hi mrsinconsolable

Firstly, my sincere sympathies to you in your situation.

Secondly, now you’re written your whole story down, how do you feel about it?

Thirdly, like Anita, I don’t believe in fate either. I believe we are the product of many, many things, among them our choices. There is no doubt you’ve been dealt a poor hand in life with your OCD and your depression. The question is, what now? Can you make positive choices to steer your life in the right direction?

I’d just like to reflect back to you some of the words you have used: nothing seems to work. Every goal I set I seem to be unable to reach. And it’s very frustrating. Everything i ever wanted in life failed.

Well done for trying to make things work and for setting yourself goals and you would really help yourself even more if you could think of something that does work, a goal you have reached and something you wanted in life which did succeed. On these wins, however small, you can build a way forward.

I hope this helps

Kind regards

Pete
