I know how you feel. You want to rely on someone but they can’t help you the way you need to be helped. The guilt is the mind going down the rabbit hole in overthinking. Trust me that’s my fortay. Overthinking to the extreme. YOU ARE NOT A BURDEN!

I completely relate to this!! In fact my guilt often triggers my OCD and sends me spiraling further. I too have had to stop driving and my sister has to drive me everywhere. I feel so inept right now, but I haven’t yet given up on my determination to recover. Just because things are one way now doesn’t mean they will always be that way! And when you are able to do more in the future, you can show appreciation to those who helped you. It’s a helpful motivator for me anyway.

I’m so glad! I don’t drive because I am afraid I’ll have a panic attack while driving and hurt someone, and I obsess on the thought to the point that it triggers me further. So for the sake of safety at the moment, I don’t drive unless absolutely necessary. BUT I went through the same feelings about 7 years ago and I was able to recover. I even got to the point I was able to drive on long road trips! I’ve just recently hit a set back, so I try to remind myself that change is possible. In the meantime, I like to think of the ways I can help out in the future when I can drive again.

Yes

Me too plus harm thoughts about my fam when they’re so good to me is making me feel shit
