Hey @Hozzles, I am really glad that you are able to have the space to vent, and I am glad that you were able to get this off your chest You have done an incredible job of highlighting and outlining how you are feeling, and why you are feeling that way, which is really amazing insight. I know that sometimes it can feel useless to recognise the root of an emotion, especially when it is wreaking havoc on our mental health, but it's such an important skill for processing and reflecting on our thoughts. However I really don't want to diminish how difficult things are for you right now. I can hear that things seem to be increasing in intensity, which would be very understandably scary. It fantastic that you have been able to book an appointment with a psychiatrist, and I am glad that you are looking into seeing a psychologist as well. I know that the wait between appointments can be incredibly tedious and exhausting, so sometimes I find it can be helpful to search for resources online. A lot of the time, psych will post how-to guides on some basic CBT/Mindfulness skills, which might be useful to tide you over until you can speak to your therapist. I did find one site for the International Society for OCD, and they have a section which lists some resources that you might be interested in. I've linked it here :)
