Why do you feel guilty about slamming a door? Don’t beat yourself up everyone is allowed their occasional “immature” moment. You’re not responsible for your sisters feelings. I mean it’s good that you care but don’t beat yourself up. Ocd is doing that enough already

Ok dude you’re acting like you killed someone’s cat. If slamming a door would ruin your family’s Christmas then THEY’RE the ones with the issue, not you

I think I've ruined Christmas. My sister isn't back yet and my parents aren't talking to me. I've apologized and told them slamming my bedroom door was an immature thing to do and I'm sorry. I also told them I wasn't upset with any of them. But it feels like Christmas is over.

@canigetawitness It's only ruined if you think it is. Do what you need to to make it festive for yourself.

@canigetawitness Your parents and your sister are the ones that are being immature. If they wanna act like that let them who cares. You had a bad moment but there being oversensitive and making it about them ignore them they’re the ones acting immature to help. They’re being brats You go about your Christmas to the best of your ability ignore their behavior and don’t let it effect that you

@Bookworm91 I dont know if they're being oversensitive though. It was a horrible thing to do. My parents just told me they're leaving the house and going somewhere else for Christmas. I'm trying not to let it get to me, but I really wanted to be with my family today.

I notice a major flare up in my symptoms during holidays. Give yourself extra kindness during this time. It was very good of you to apologize to your family, and now you deserve to forgive yourself. Remember that to those whose burdens are greater, God supplies greater portions of grace. Remembering that gets me through hard times. Sending love and hugs your way

Thank you, this really helps. I was just hoping we could all be together on Christmas day. I didn't mean to run anyone off, but I guess I have.

I've had a shouting performance yesterday. It happens. I don't like it. No one does. I try my best not to but OCD is so strong at convincing you you have to react.

I'm sorry you got into a shouting argument. Anxiety/OCD really does suck.

I'm having a break down. I dont know what to do. I didn't mean to ruin Christmas by slamming my door yesterday. I've apologized multiple times to my parents and my sister. I just wish we could have Christmas. I feel awful for ruining this.

You didn’t ruin Christmas! They did. Their reactions are much worse then your action. I’m sorry you feel bad but you’ve got to stop letting your family push you around. This is just a control tactic.

@Bookworm91 I did slam my bedroom door pretty hard. I wish I could take it all back. Thank you for your support. I'm trying to not let it get to me, but I feel awful.

I know it’s been a few days just wanted to throw a coping thought at ya! I see that you are really bothered by the idea of ruining the holidays for your family, I believe this comes from a deep respect and desire for your families happiness. It makes sense that you would be bothered by slamming the door because you do not want to hurt your families feelings especially around the holidays! Your rumination over this issue is simply trying to tell you very loudly that you really really value being a good family member. When you find yourself ruminating in guilt place one hand over your heart take a deep breath and say out loud “this is really difficult for me, I struggle to meet my own expectations right now but I know that I am a person with good intentions in my heart. I am allowed to make mistakes” ❤️❤️

Today is Easter and it was supposed to be low key for me and my family but my mom invited a family member that bothers my ocd alot and now they are on their way here and I'm freaking out I already had a panic attack (still having it) and my family is not helping either they keep making comments about how they just want one holiday with no problems and some other comments and it's like I'm sorry I'm not normal like my siblings I didn't ask to be like this now I'm just hurt, upset and I locked myself in my room for the rest of day. (And I was doing so good with erp and this is like making me have a ocd relapse)

I had the biggest emotional breakdown of my life. I don't even understand why, but because of something that bothered me the slightest bit, i started yelling SOO loudly and bad at my parents: "YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT ME!" I threw some things, i even ran, tried to leave the house, and i ran to my room, i hit my head and i got a bump and some really bad scratches. Afterwards i felt super guilty, i feel horrible for having made my parents feel this way, and how was it possible that I hurt myself like this? I don't understand why i reacted that way, it's so, soo bad. They hugged me and we cried for a while, but i don't understand, am i crazy?

Yesterday I had a panic attack from OCD fears. I live alone, so in my panic I called my mum just to get some emotional support. It did not go well. I was asking for reassurnce to much and basically she got annoyed with me and started to chastise me. She said I was being ridiculous and accused me of just making up my symptoms to emotionally manipulate her. She even went as far as threatening to call the police on me to have me sectioned. I feel so humiliated. I know that I can be annoying during my panic attacks, and that my OCD puts a massive toll on my familiy. But I don't want to manipulate people. Now, I feel like an abuser. In these moments, seeing how much my weakness makes my family suffer makes me just want to not be here anymore.
