I’m sorry you are experiencing this. You are not alone.
@Erin P thank you i truly do appreciate the response & support
Sometimes even our loved ones just don't understand OCD and can end up saying something that hurts us but if they knew what OCD felt like or how it's not just about snapping out of it they would understand. Hang in there, I'm here if you need to talk.
@Greenery99 yes i’m just starting out on my therapy journey and I feel as if i’m in such a fragile and vulnerable state that i’m easily offended or i’m subconsciously hyper aware and closely analyzing everything they say to find comfort or support and when they fall short simply from not having ocd, no fault of their own, i feel alone, disappointed, misunderstood and the hopeless feelings come back but i’m hopeful that things will get better and thank you i really appreciate that.
I have this strong yearning to tell my mother all my thoughts and what I go through on a daily basis but then I get scared of what she'll think of me or that she'll worry even more and feel like it's her fault. I just want someone to understand what im going through but whenever I even begin to explain my thoughts to my therapist, she doesn't really get it and today it feels like no one ever will. like I try to make my therapist understand and bless her heart, she's super compassionate and understands how much pain it causes me but beyond that, it still feels like im not able to fully convey it. I'm sure this is something many people can relate to, but still. I feel alone.
Lately I just feel like I’m on the verge of losing it and I don’t know why. I feel so uncomfortable in my own body. Physically and mentally. Not due to insecurity but just that something isn’t right… I never feel good, I’m always fatigued, my head hurts all the time, but my blood work comes back fine so doctor’s will do nothing. I have anxiety and panic attacks and recently I guess depression since I’m always down. I have relationship OCD so my partner deals with me not being sure of him constantly and it breaks my heart. I don’t want to leave him because he’s great but half the time my brain is telling me he isn’t the one. I keep counting as well, constantly counting every letter in every word and every word in every sentence… it just feels like I’m gonna go insane one of these days and I’m scared. When I talk to someone about this, they have no clue what to tell me or how to help. Am I alone in feeling this way??
Sometimes I feel like nobody really gets me. Nobody knows what’s going on in my head. I try to explain in vivid detail, but my ocd immediately reads the other persons face and registers that they don’t get it. It’s a very isolating experience. Anyone else have something like this?
