I need a support system

It's hit me so hard lately that I have pretty much no support system to support my mental health outside of my therapist. I have a couple friends but they don't struggle with mental health like I do, so I don't really feel that I can go to them for much. What has hit me the most lately is that not even my own girlfriend can be a support for me. Despite her having several mental health problems herself, whenever I am struggling with something, she says that I am doing it to myself and is the furthest away from any sort of support.

Also sounds like you have an unbalanced relationship causing you to not feel supported. :(

Same. The amount of gaslighting and misunderstanding is unreal. I literally have no one besides my therapist. Oh well.

That's the dream. I'm sick of constantly feeling isolated even when I am surrounded by people who are supposed to love and support me.

Hey Collin, im jenna!! Remember that us with OCD are way stronger because we’re the only ones that can kick our own butts. No one else is allowed to feed us conclusions or facts about our ocd if they don’t know what it’s like. Is there anywhere I could listen to your music?

Hey! Thank you very much for your kind words. My apologies it took me a while to reply to you, but I couldn't quite find the words to say. What you said meant a lot to me and I really appreciate it. I do have 2 released right now, which you can find on pretty much anywhere you may stream your music. Spotify, Apple music, YouTube, Pandora, etc. If you search "Collin Lacki" on any one of those platforms, you should be able to find me. I have new songs coming out in a couple weeks actually that are way way better than the two that I have released. So, hopefully we stay in contact so you know when those new ones are available. I am much more proud of the new ones that are going to be released soon. Anyway, sorry for all the writing, but again, I really appreciate your words and they have definitely stuck with me and meant a lot.

Who said you should be sorry for all the writing? It’s not a bad thing!! I loved your songs and I’m genuinely impressed. If that’s your voice, it’s so lovely. You should be proud. I’m glad that my words resonated with you! Always remember “Someone like you deserves to feel like they’re enough”

Omg 🤣👏 I think you may have made my entire year lol. That was good and I love that haha. I never thought I would receive words of encouragement using My own lyrics, but here I am. And I suppose I should keep that in mind and try to remind myself that I do deserve to feel like I am enough. It's just really hard to do sometimes when I'm not always surrounded by the most supportive people. And I'm glad you like the music. If you are impressed with those two, I think he will really love what is coming out in a couple weeks. But again, thank you. I haven't heard such nice things said to me by anyone besides my therapist in a very long time. It sounds kind of sad but it's true. I just want you to know that I really appreciate your words.

My Partner

Recently she has told me she will be calling a lot less and stuff, this bothers me because well I’m scared, as I’m writing this I sent messages from 1pm to 7pm and tried calling her, no reply or anything, as a man it’s not good to be left alone with my mind, I’ve had “those” thoughts because of everything else going on, I told her how I felt and she said she’s sorry but she’s uncomfortable calling a lot, granted I’ve been doing good not calling her but when I really need her or call her she doesn’t pick up, this entire situation has screwed me up, it doesn’t help I have a overthinking problem, I’m scared to lose her, I’m scared to share my feelings fully without it being a burden or emotionally wearing her down, well that’s life, god do I hate it.

lonely

My pocd makes me feel really lonely. I have friends who I love but they also struggle with mental health too, and when I'm there to listen and support them sometimes it's just too much and I feel like a bad friend. I can't help but feel like it's not the same, I know you can't compare your struggles to others but sometimes when my friend is telling me how they feel a lack of motivation and depressed I honestly wish I was just dealing with that instead of that and fearing that I'm a pedophile ontop of it. Like at least the thing you're dealing with isn't something that will make 90% of the population despise you, you know? I know that sounds bad and isn't very mature but I'm always the therapist friend for other people, and I'm the only one actually seeking help and trying to get better and I arguably have the worst thing to deal with. I feel like my friends only want to talk to me when they're depressed or need advice and I'm so tired of it.

Help please support

I'm struggling severely. Please comment so I have a therapist or someone to talk to. Someone has caused me to spiral in another group.
