I feel like I annoy myself and others with my ocd and that they can tell by looking at me that I am a ruined mess. I wish I didn’t have this compulsion for perfectionism that doesn’t seem to exist.

Sorry you are feeling this way. ERP helped me manage my OCD and getting better helped me be less hard on myself. I hope you can get the same help if you aren’t already.
Awh. I’m sure you are loved and no one that matters is annoyed by you. Be gentle with yourself 💞
Makes me feel lost. I feel like I don't know who I am anymore.
Having ocd is so incredibly exhausting and depressing- my mom and dad argued with me for over an hour talking about how im a pain to be around, go in too many loops, and ruin everything and everyones mood… this conversation started with me saying im stressed out because of school and that i dont want to go because im exhausted- and idk if this is like ocd directly but it takes me like 2 hours to get ready in the morning because i need to look PERFECT and the same everyday literally 😭 and that process feels so exhausting every morning at 6am but i will NOT go to school without going through with it- i will literally be crying and shaking and wanting to go home the minute i get to school if even a single strand of my hair is not perfectly straightened or any blemishes or flaws are showing- and i cant even walk to school or anything bc im scared the humidity will mess with my hair and everything- and it just really affects my life? And yeah its freaking exhausting. And i have two more years of highschool and I dont know if im going to make it 😭i get super stressed over grades too because i need them to be extraordinary otherwise its a fail. Nothing below 95%. And thats also tiring! 😁 and my mom told me today “medication IS NOTTTT AND OPTION!!!” Like oh okay so im just cooked 😭 and therapy isnt really helping me at all- i feel like what im being told is so basic and generic and it doesn’t help me when im in a huge ocd episode- which is often… and what i hate most is like my mom says “don’t come to me with your problems after 6pm…” im sorry i cant schedule my feelings 😭 im so tired
Anyone else wish that people understood what OCD does to us and why its so hard for us to breathe or act or think like them? Its rough.
