I've never in my life felt like a failure as much as I do now.
I've gotten an F in 2 classes and I have to repeat them next semester. I have never gotten an F in my life which is a huge shock for someone like me (I always get A, A-, and 1 B) I think this has to do with what was happening this semester, I had to visit a psychiatric for the first time because my OCD was getting out of hand. Sometimes I go days without sleep because of the thoughts. Sometimes I lock myself in my room because thoughts of harming other people and myself. I'm really sad at the moment, and I feel frustrated with myself. I don't know what to do. I'm scared I'll fail more classes next semester. I'm ruining my GPA. My mother herself doesn't know how to deal with me. Psychiatric/therapist is hella expensive, money isn't the main problem but finding an appointment is very rare, you need to wait months. |

Sorry you are going through this.
I hope you try to get an appointment soon. The time will pass whether you have one or not.

If you take therapy, do you know what type?
I am reading that you have a significant problem with a lack of self-worth. OCD suggests to me you deal with catastrophic thinking too. Do you additionally experience 'performance' anxiety? These things can significantly affect and permeate our lives. They do not set us up for success. Talk to your therapist and raise the topic of CBT. Do they think it might be helpful. They may not be trained in it or perhaps you are not seeing a therapist in the first place. Still, there are ways of helping yourself. Get yourself a book modeled on CBT - preferrably a guided workbook. Actually do the work involved - and keep doing it even once you complete the exercises. Some of these books also suggest coping skills to arm yourself with for dealing with worry and other emotions like the feel of failure, etc. |
