I’m sort of new to this app and I have my own ocd but from what I’m hearing I used to struggle and sometimes still do with asking if people are mad at me. Like I used to and still do ask my mom if she’s mad at me and then I used to get upset if she was actually mad and I wouldn’t feel better until she said she wasn’t mad anymore. I don’t have the problem as much anymore though because I’ve learned that people are going to get mad and you can’t please everybody all the time. And just because someone is mad doesn’t mean they will stay mad forever. Also if your friends didn’t invite you because your clingy or have ocd just know that God made you just how he wanted to and maybe they aren’t true friends because true friends would love you no matter the ocd or being clingy. So my advice would be to find some good friends who maybe have ocd too or just some good friends who will be there to support you.

Hi astroworld ?? I’m sorry you’re feeling left out right now. I hope you know that everyone feels left out sometimes. Even the people who were invited may have felt left out of certain games or conversations once they were there. Feeling left out is a really common human experience for everyone. You may want to ask them why you weren’t invited and tell them that it hurt your feelings. Just be aware that you may not like the response (if you do get negative feedback, try not to take it to heart. Use it to better yourself if it makes sense, and ignore it if not). But no matter what, keep working in yourself. If you think you’re too clingy, see if you can try to give others more space sometimes. If someone doesn’t like you because of your OCD, that’s okay; others will like you anyways. Maybe they just weren’t the right friends for you. Get out and meet some knew people or talk to people you normally wouldn’t. You’re at a time in life where everyone is still figuring out what type of people they want to be friends with long term. You can also be someone who chooses others, not just someone who waits to be chosen.

Also, normal 14 year olds don’t get invited to stuff ALL THE TIME. No matter how cool they act or seem.

I am so angry with ocd. I hate that ocd even exists. I wouldn’t necessarily say I wanted to be a mom when I was younger. I grew up without my mom around. But now my sisters are both moms and I see them and I feel like I’m missing out. But having pocd and hocd has definitely made me feel like it’s completely out of the question. I even made sure my fiancé knew that I didn’t want children/ feel like I can’t have them for fear of hurting them or passing on mental health issues. I was abused growing up and one of my old therapists told me that “people who are abused can become abusers”. That is something that I am not willing to risk. And even though I feel set on that choice, my brain still tells me that I’m missing out. So I’m constantly questioning if I truly feel like I don’t want them or if ocd is convincing me I don’t. Ugh. It’s just so frustrating.

I’m feeling kind of sad cause today was not a really good day in terms of my ocd. I was feeling kind of foggy/numb and that send me to spiraling. I’m 21 years old currently studying but my family has been having trouble with money for the last couple years(we’re just me and my mom) and I kinda want to get a job but everything is far from my home and I wouldn’t be able to return back at night, also it’s either way more expensive to move or the schedule wouldn’t let me take my classes. The point is that because of that every time my mom is stress tends to treat me bad, she speaks to me like I’m stupid or she just screams to nothing cursing all life and everything and that actually makes me feel soo bad and guilty for not doing anything, I know it’s hard for me to get a job that actually helps us without quitting school but that doesn’t stop me from feeling like I’m a burden. I want to help, I want to maybe hug her or something but I know she will be angrier and probably will reject it. So that’s it, I just feel like she punishes me for the stress she’s carrying and I get it but one day is happy and it feels like all love and the next is treating me like that, Idk it’s hard (also I feel like I shouldn’t be saying this cause it’s all my fault) 🫤

My last and almost life long theme/sub-theme largely subsided recently and my ocd felt like it wasn’t even an issue. Then I went on winter break from uni and being alone made my mind come up with a whole new topic to obsess over. TLDR on my fears, my advisor wouldn’t email me back for a while about signing up for classes so my mind started to worry “what if he doesn’t in time and you can’t enroll this semester and you lose this whole life you just built and all these new friends” So when that issue was resolved my mind found other scarier ways I could be uprooted from my current life and friends that I’ve grown so attached to. Then my mind remembered back when I was struggling with false memories and scrupulosity and I essentially made a post on a forum 2 and a half years ago saying I did something or was convinced I did something that I never actually did. Now I’ve been spiraling about someone finding it reporting me and I either get seen as a horrible person or arrested or something over something I never actually did but “admitted” to out of fear of going to hell. My mind won’t let it go and keeps finding new reasons for it to be “valid” “logical” or even inevitable. I feel like it’s just hanging over my head and I can never rest easy. Especially when I try to focus on my daily tasks or plan for the future I get this horrible flair up of “why plan for the future when this could come back in that future and you get uprooted from all of it” my mind won’t rest without certainty being uprooted won’t happen but certainty doesn’t exist, at least not with ocd. This sucks and I miss being care free.
