My sister told others about me suffering of POCD
My sister told several of her friends about me suffering from POCD. I told her off for it, I felt so betrayed. She said it also has in impact on her, so she thought and still thinks it is okay. She then told me, that she thinks about telling her kids. I told her not to. She said that it might be better, they know. I said no. She asked her therapist and he told her not to tell them. Only then she decided to not tell them for the time being. I feel violated. I met people who don't understand POCD and who thought I was a pedophile, me telling them it is POCD and offering links to official websites, didn't help. I want to tell her, that if she ever tells the kids, or anyone else without my permission, that I don't want to speak to her again. @POCD sufferers: What are your experiences with family and friends? How did they react? Did anyone cut you out? Did anyone tell it to other people without your permission?
