i’m sorry, this probably makes you feel so lonely. i don’t mean this sarcastically- it’s good for her that the thing on the forefront of her mind is this guy and this new, budding, exciting relationship. that’s lovely for her:) At the same time, it must be so frustrating that the bulk of yalls time together is spent on how she feels about this new thing (it feels really big and important to her right now ig). What do you think about telling her about your mental state right now? And maybe about how isolating it feels. You have such a right to be angry. This is fucking infuriating. You sound young. You both should be talking about boys and other light-hearted things. You shouldn’t be left alone to have to navigate these difficult and heavy feelings. It’s so infuriating when no one has any idea of how difficult things are and then they keep requiring the same energy from you in life. We know it’s our job to communicate, but it’s still frustrating. I’m sorry, friend. If you think she would take it okay, maybe try to mention that sometimes you get a bit tired of talking about him. Remind her that you’re happy that she’s happy! But that things have been feeling really heavy for you recently and you’re having a hard time getting through it. idk, what do you think?

I just feel like im literally living on a different planet from her. Like, my everyday life and concerns all center around ocd and my constant terrifying obsessions. She knows all about it and is very supportive. Its just hard because her main concern is a guy and i feel so jealous that she is in a relationship but also that she has the chance of having this as a main concern and not s*uicide ocd, pocd, etc. Im gonna try and bring it up to her but you're right im young (19) and im just so fucking exhausted of having to deal with a mental illness that is literally stealing my life and happiness. Like, everyday ocd comes up with terrible scenarios and makes me so scared, i just wish it was more simple. But thanks for your message
