Feeling guilty about living at home due to OCD—does anyone relate?
Living at Home
I have really great parents, that have helped me every step of the way with my OCD. And when I go through bad periods, I can always rely on them. When I relapse, my OCD prevents me from leaving my bed, which means I can't work, eat or bathe properly, or maintain outside relationships. Therefore, I've moved back in with my folks semi-permanently over the last six years. And as I get into my late twenties (going through another relapse), I start to feel guilty. As if I'm taking advantage of their kindness and mooching off them for free housing. I know that's not true, I would be dead if I couldn't live at home, but does anyone else relate to this?
