I’m so sorry you’re dealing with this, this platform already shows me that there will be so many people like you out there, be kind to yourself and put yourself first before absolutely anyone for a while, even your mother, forget about her feelings and actions for a while and focus on yourself! Stay safe

I don't even want to go there. My mother. Narcissistic egoistic monstrum. Had to run away from home to survive. Had nothing. Was hungry for 2 years. Worked like hell just to get enough money to pay rent. Had no family no relatives no friends. I still do not have the first two. My best friend is my husband, I guess. My mom utterly hated me because of my ocd, made it 1000%worse, took away my dad and siblings, relatives. I had nothing and noone. I still don't have a driving licence. I don't drive. I ran away like 300 kms away from then home, hid in the capital city and struggled to survive. I was around your age when I lost it all. I get you. Your mom is toxic. If you believe she has the potential to understand ocd and support you, suggest a meeting with a therapist who can explain ocd to her. If not, start looking for a way you can as soon as possible get as far away from her as you can. And do not look back. Is there a dad or a sibling in the picture? Maybe they could help you with her. My mother took my life away, but I was reborn on the day I secretly ran away from her and my dad and sister and never looked back. Hadn't I done it then, now over 25 years after, I would not be alive for over 25 years. I understand you. Gosh, how I do. I wish you all the best in life. Life is so beautiful once you grasp that it can be beautiful even with ocd. But without toxic people. That is a fact, no matter how much it saddens me. Biiiig hug.

Thank you. You will be OK too. No matter how hard it gets, there is a higher purpose to your life and you will get through it all. Never give up on yourself, on life. Your mother's behavior does not determine who you are, your value as a person. It speaks volumes about her, though. She might not know any better, but that doesn't mean you have to suffer because of her. It is soooo hard to break free from your family even when they are very bad towards you, because they are your only parents, siblings,...and it is soooo hard to understand why your parent doesn't love and respect you, but sooner or later one has to just accept it for what it is and start fresh. Your own life, rules. Ocd can be very disabling, but with meds and therapy, life can be pretty good. Big hug and my best wishes to you. If you need to talk, any time, let me know. I am here for you. 😊🍀

@ocdaintit Yo yo yo, homie, stay positive and live lol. Also, your mom should be supportive of your mental health struggles, not criticizing your every move. So that sucks that you have to deal with that and can’t have her support the way you want. Like outofbraincells said (lol her username) don’t give up, don’t lose hope, and don’t believe her hurtful words.
