I've just started going to Cognative Behavioral Therapy for OCD and depression and maybe something more. Part of me wants this all to go away so I can live a normal life, but the other part wants to get worse, maybe to prove to people that i needed help and no one cared. Can anyone relate?

The preassure you feel it is normal. All of us are very needy if we only have a flu not to mention if we are battling something worse. But also we all have our ups and downs, you have to get used to them and help yourself see positive things in most of the things - to see the bigger picture. Maybe you are not seeing all in a right way?Hm?:) Don't worry, everything will be alright as long as you try. I have a bf who suffers from Schizoaffective disorder - before we met you don't wonna know how he was, but battling all his problems showed him that he can win too! Take care!

I can relate. When I was actually 24, I decided to starve myself to the point that my body was eating the fat on my muscles to stay alive. I never had an eating disorder before then. I went to the doctor and he told me to go to therapy. In some way I wanted to get help because I didnt want to die. And another part of me said screw that because of issues I had with therapy in the past.
The whole thing of doctors saying " I understand" to your problem just really pisses me off.
I have lived with depression for so long, I honestly dont know what I would do without it. I know that sounds dumb, but I have become so used to feeling like this that I dont know how else to feel.

I recommend that you research Inter Family Systems Therapy, another cognative therapy method. The thesis is that our emotions and motivations are all like tiny little people in our heads, that talk you into and out of taking action. They way you describe one "part" wanting one thing and another pulling you to a different direction fits the format.
See the movie Little Miss Sunshine.

There could be another reason that you might want it to get worse...there is a certain component of addiction to certain OCD activities and perhaps you do not want to give it up? If you give it up perhaps you may think, what will I replace it with? Just keep on doing what you are are doing in therapy and little by little you will feel the need to do those things less and less.
Good luck!

I was in a kinda serious car accident, fractured my skull, etc. Actually this was a lot worse than the fracture part but I don't want to go into any details.
Changed my life. I thought I was dead and living in a different world for a while. Nothing could help me in this state I was living in, seemed to me like I would be stuck like this forever. I could never remember what happened the previous day. Seemed to me like I could not heal my wounds.
Well obviously if I can remember not remembering I did heal, just sort of scared where you can't see it (a MRI can). Nobody cared when I was in rehab? No that was exactly the opposite of what was happening. If it wasn't for people caring for me when I thought they weren't then I would probably be a vegetable right now.

All human beings have a natural resentment about being told
what to think and do. It comes from when we're young and
always get told what to do.
Denial is not an attitude. It's a self-defense mechanism. If
we listened to every complaining, criticizing thing people say about us, we would lose our minds.
You can past these things once you realize we all have to struggle with it. Even the therapists. Who might hurt you more than help you if they take a personal dislike to you.
BEEN THERE DONE THAT!
Just be YOURSELF.

yes! I cut, and part of me just wants to keep doing it...and the other half is just like you need to quit.
I can relate, I was starting to wonder if I was the only one who felt that way.
