I know it is hard dealing with parents. My family I'd horrible. I arrived to the conclusion, that I can't share with them my problems anymore. Every time we end up fighting, with them judging me, or telling stupid things like "just stop thinking". And my mother will use everything that hurt me to hurt me more later, when she does something wrong. One day I didn't listed to her about bed time; (I was 16; I mean...) and the next day my first bf broke up with me. I was destroyed and I told her... al she replied was "he did the best thing he could, you don't deserve to have someone, it's obvious that he left you" just because I didn't listen to her the previous day... So yes. Now I know that I have some cousins/ good friends that can really understand me and support me, but that's it! I understand that some people will be very understand, so the more you try; the more you will get disappointed and sad.

I have also decided to no longer try and stress myself out when explaining to them aboht my mental state . Simply, there’s no other way to try & get them to undertand me . I have accepted that. And I will do my best to better myself even if I Habe no support from family . I have you guys and friends , all I need 💕

And now when I think of the thought it feels real and because in that moment of time wheen she said something - ocd convinces me my thoughts are me and almost like I have to act on them . It feels real and l just want myself back. I know what I am dealing with. I been thru this over and over . I want it to stop 💔

Yep, I feel the same way. I don’t get as much anxiety anymore, so it’s definitely a struggle for me because I feel that I constantly need to say no to these thoughts and try to replace & push away them.

I’ve gone this numerous times beginning with my mom many years ago & recently with my partner. I understand. Ultimately it’s up to us to be able to cope with those things too. It’s hard after you’ve explained BUT don’t wait for them to do something to feel better that’s an ocd trick! I believe you may need to feel through your feelings & focus on removing needing anything for comfort compulsively. Her getting upset makes you feel bad which starts the ocd up & needing her to understand could be ocd keeping you from coping with the guilt or doubts that are relevant to her talking about your room. I truly understand this 1st hand you aren’t alone. 🧡

I really do want to go to therapy or psychiatrist to diagnosed my OCD and give me a treatment but it costs a lot. OCD ruins my life and consumes my mind I wish I can take a break from my own brain. Having OCD but undiagnosed feels like I’m crazy because people think I made that up but they don’t know how I’m struggling since I was a kid. So anyone have an advice for treat OCD especially checking OCD that doesn’t cost money? because I don’t work yet..🥲

Having ocd is so incredibly exhausting and depressing- my mom and dad argued with me for over an hour talking about how im a pain to be around, go in too many loops, and ruin everything and everyones mood… this conversation started with me saying im stressed out because of school and that i dont want to go because im exhausted- and idk if this is like ocd directly but it takes me like 2 hours to get ready in the morning because i need to look PERFECT and the same everyday literally 😭 and that process feels so exhausting every morning at 6am but i will NOT go to school without going through with it- i will literally be crying and shaking and wanting to go home the minute i get to school if even a single strand of my hair is not perfectly straightened or any blemishes or flaws are showing- and i cant even walk to school or anything bc im scared the humidity will mess with my hair and everything- and it just really affects my life? And yeah its freaking exhausting. And i have two more years of highschool and I dont know if im going to make it 😭i get super stressed over grades too because i need them to be extraordinary otherwise its a fail. Nothing below 95%. And thats also tiring! 😁 and my mom told me today “medication IS NOTTTT AND OPTION!!!” Like oh okay so im just cooked 😭 and therapy isnt really helping me at all- i feel like what im being told is so basic and generic and it doesn’t help me when im in a huge ocd episode- which is often… and what i hate most is like my mom says “don’t come to me with your problems after 6pm…” im sorry i cant schedule my feelings 😭 im so tired

So my mom doesn’t think that i have OCD but i think i do. I also do have anxiety medication, and aren’t there some types of OCD that involve anxiety? I also have been feeling a little bit depressed lately struggling to love me and my body. I feel like i don’t belong in the world anymore. I started feeling depressed around 6 months ago before that i was doing fine. I also struggle getting out of bed, i cant get up to do simple tasks like throwing away trash or brushing my teeth. Some things that always trigger me is that when I’m with someone and they use the bathroom but don’t wash? It makes me feel so sick inside. I also need everything to be PERFECT like if my phone is a tiny bit crooked i HAVE to fix it or else i get anxious. My mom also told me since i have a messy room i don’t have OCD but i looked it up on google and it said people with OCD can also have messy rooms. I did do a test online for OCD and it said it looks like i have OCD. And i also get very mad if my brother messes something up. Yeah so I don’t know, do you guys think i have OCD??
