I don't feel supported by my family... Just exigencies.

Same... They keep telling me I'm "weird" and that they are tired of me acting like this, like I want to be this way... I didn't ask for all of this and what I need is support and understanding. It sucks when your own family judges you for mental illness.

i don't have the support i wish i had from my family either, feels like everyone is just waiting for me to "snap out of it" (like that's gonna happen..) =/ but we can be here for eachother and support eachother instead :) nothing but love here ❤

Every time things get complicated they ask how I will solve it academically, how I will improve my grades, how I will take more and more and mora particular classes to improve my grades. But they doesn't seem like they see that I'm feeling bad mentally, and even it's getting worst, but all that affects my grades and that appears that's the only thing they notice that it's happening. Thanks you for giving support, I'm so happy that I found this app.

i know the feeling and it definitely doesn't help when people around you only focus on the things you don't get done or their expectations of what your life should look like.. that only gives more anxiety and stress which just feeds the ocd more. instead they should be positive and lift us up and focus on the things we actually got done/through.. cuz even if it might seem like a small thing to them it might be a mountain for us. but i also get that it's hard to understand when you're not living it and when you have control over your own mind. i try to be very open & honest and try to explain as much as i can to the people around me.. which has made things a bit better, but i've also realized that they will never understand completely. and thankfully i have you guys here for those parts :) i know it's really hard sometimes and that you can feel super alone (because of the lack of understanding) but when you feel that way just come here and talk a little.. cuz here you will always get understanding! like i said, there's nothing but love and support here ?❤ and if i can, i will always be here to help or talk.. whatever you need :) and if no one else has said it i want to say that i'm really proud of you for fighting your way through school and doing as much as you can (cuz that's what really matters) despite your ocd and everything that comes with that.. it's really awesome of you! and i can bet that you will get it done, maybe not their way but who cares.. this is your life and your path. and i also think you should give yourself a pat on the back and be a little proud of yourself too.. cuz i don't think half of the people complaining could do what you're doing right now! you are a warrior, and don't let anyone make you forget that! ❤
