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.

OCD & Isolation
OCD can be an incredibly lonely experience, especially when people around you don’t understand the thoughts and fears you’re facing. But you’re not alone—others have been there too. What’s something about OCD that makes you feel isolated or alone?
