Hey guys hope you’re all doing okay . Just wanted to come on here and say I’ve just opened up more about my ocd to my mother . She was being dissmisive entire time I tried talking to her . So then, I lost my temper and yelled out intrude ocd thoughts I’ve had in past . POCD , harm OCD....she didn’t take it well. Completely misunderstood me and in fact asked if that’s what I like and I got so angry . So now I’m sitting here thinking she actually believes what I told her is true. she told me to go away and ignored me .

Send her links of YouTube videos explaining. A couple weeks ago I told my mum my ocd was bad and she didnt even know I had it (even tho I’d said I think I have it a couple years ago now) and thought it was all about clean clean and germs and that. People who don’t have OCD don’t understand it well at all. And some aren’t that open minded when it comes to mental illnesses. Try to be patient as hard as it may be and as I said find YouTube links and articles for her to look at and see if that helps her understand more.
