Hey I’m sorry. My family doesn’t get it either. It is sooo frustrating and makes me angry sometimes. But they just don’t know what it’s like to have brain hiccup like this. I try to have some compassion for them, but I also don’t tolerate any criticism of the reality of this disorder (for example my mom kept suggested I stop my meds, and I told her never to tell that). I just try to find community else where (like here). So yes, have compassion for them, but also draw boundaries!

You’re welcome! You can tell them in your own time :) Who knows, they might totally understand. There is a great book by Jon Hershfield called “When a Family Member with OCD”; maybe you can give it to them! Also, just make sure you have other supports in place. Not sure how old you are, but if you are an adult then friends could be helpful. If you are younger maybe a school counsellor? Someone you trust. Good luck! :)

Hey, don't feel bad. That sometimes happen 😕. My family didn't took it seriously, I had only 12 years when I noticed it, and they didn't helped me. It's awful? Of course. Most people don't understand what it's OCD. They really think about it like just a little obsession for order things. They don't know about the struggle, they don't understand how hard it's live with this, how sick makes you feel and how we suffer for this. If they can't understand don't feel bad, they just don't know how it is. We are here with you, and we know how hard it's for you live with OCD. Look for help, some day your family will understand if they can't do it now. But never feel bad for that, because isn't your fault, you aren't dramatic, it's a metal disorder and it's real. The most important thing here it's you and how do you feel.

Ocd is like this bully that leaves you alone for a while and then come's back worse every time. This morning I just switched my tv on and for some reason I had this thought pop into my head that what if someone on the tv told me to harm someone... what if the ground is lava, man... I was doing so well last few weeks... then this. Worst thing is I feel alone in having these weird thoughts... feels like everyone's thoughts are normal or can atleast happen in reality while mine is totally out there... and I just started getting motivated again to enter modelling, now I'm scared AF is I can even do it with my mind always doing this shit.

Kind of having a hard time today . Keep getting thought about something called disassocitive identity disorder , I saw it in a tv show called bates motel awhile ago . My brain keeps telling me that I will get it . It keeps comparing to the time I kept feeling like a boy . And I’m scared that One day I will turn into a different person and all this other non sense it basically telling me I will completely lose myself and go insane or crazy . Trying not react with fear but it’s getting to me a little bit and it’s causing me serious depression while I’m at work . Keep thinking about how I problem won’t make it past 20 years old . It keeps saying that I have no hope in getting better and I will kill myself soon . I also keep getting thoughts about how I feel so alone and how I have no family or friend support I’ve told them I have ocd and sometimes they talk to me about it but most of the time they tell me that I’m being stupid or just disregard it all together . I don’t wanna put my problems on other people so I try to not take it to heart but it really makes me feel like nobody cares . And I feel like if my mental illness was to ever become even more serious than it already is nobody will help me . Not even my family . I will probably end up being neglected and die alone . I can’t take this . I’m at work and I can barley focus. I just don’t know what to do .

Sometimes I worry that I don’t have ocd and that I’m losing my mind and that I’ll never feel better again. I was starting to feel really good last night and I thought it was finally over so I went ahead and did a lot of the stuff I enjoyed doing before this happened (the reason I had to stop was because certain things were triggering in either one way or another) but eventually I hit a point where I just could not bring myself to do something because it was causing too much anxiety. I got this horrible image last night in a dream and then I began to get a flurry of bothersome thoughts, so now I have 2 obsessions to worry about now. The first one is kind of in control but I’m just afraid what’s going to happen to my brain and I’m worried about having an episode in front of my family, who I’m supposed to be having a small dinner with today. I don’t want to tell them what’s going on but I’m afraid they’ll notice that I’m not well. I’m never present because I’m always in my head analyzing and ruminating and worrying. The feeling last night gave me hope that I could be myself again but I just worry that these thoughts will always linger and make me lose my mind. :(
