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” ❤️❤️

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.

Today I kind of snapped and I do feel bad. At Chipotle, a worker wasn’t letting me finish my order and every 2 seconds she kept saying “that’s it?” “That’s it?” Like rushing me, and I yelled, “YES, THATS IT!” I do feel bad because maybe she was having a bad day but I was also frustrated. I do regret it because I need to stay calm in situations, especially because I understand how hard it is to work in fast food, I’ve done it before. I was overwhelmed and frustrated, she kept talking over me and I couldn’t even think about what I wanted next. I’m irritated with myself but I also feel my feelings aren’t wrong, I just handled it in a negative way. Now my OCD has latched on the situation and I can’t stop thinking about it. I feel like I’m an awful person and like I need some sort of punishment, as if having OCD isn’t enough punishment. I did try to call the restaurant to apologize but no one answered. I sent an email with an apology to customer support, I’m not sure if she’ll even get it. I’m having so many ruminating and self deprecating thoughts now. I’m not a terrible person but I feel like I am

I feel so horrible and guilty, I've been pretty depressed lately and I don't know if i'm doing something wrong or not but my mom keeps getting mad at me, and I keep getting snappy with her. The other day she tried to take a selfie with me and I kinda got mad at her because it was in front of everyone and I didn't want to get anyone uncomfortable if they were accidently in the background so I told her stop in a kind of mean way. She stopped talking to me for the rest of the night and she keeps bringing up how disrespectful I am. I tried to explain to her I didn't mean anything mean by it?? It's triggering my OCD so bad and tonight i'm going to see a band I really wanted to see, and i'm super afraid shes gonna start bringing up how mean i've been lately. I've been really depressed and upset because of school and how much work their giving me, and I've been in my room for mostly more than 10 hours a day doing nothing but watching TV because I can't bring myself out of it, I don't know what to do anymore and the guilt of me possibly being a mean and aggressive person is haunting me.
