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.
No one understands what I’m going through. My husband used to be my biggest supporter but not we’re separated and I try to explain to my parents why I’m upset when I have panic attacks but they don’t get it. For Example: This morning I told my mom I was having a panic attack. And she just kept asking “why? What’s wrong? U were so happy yesterday. When I said, I didn’t know I just was having this panic attack. She did not understand one bit. She just kept asking me why why why? And I’m like I don’t know. 😭 it makes me just wanna stay away from everyone and just isolate because people don’t understand. I know it’s not their fault. I’m actually glad they don’t understand because that means they’re not going through the pain I’m going through.
feeling alone & scared : how is everyone doing ? 🥹
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.
