narcissist mom.

I know I can count on all of y’all to understand how difficult it is already to deal with OCD. Now imagine you had an enemy watching your every move, using your ocd against you despite how much you’ve asked for support, and constantly telling you that you either don’t have ocd and it’s just in your mind, or that you need to stop making excuses for yourself when you’re doing compulsions. That’s my mom. And she’s threatening to kick me out when she knows I have 0 friends and have not had a single friend since I was 15 (I’m 19) because she was moving us around right before lockdown. Idk how to drive because my anxiety and also I don’t have access to a car to practice like that. I’m so tired fr

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.

tw // abuse i don’t exactly know if this is related to ocd, it might be but anyway if you’re a victim of emotional abuse, do u ever find ur self making up excuses like “it’s not even that bad, it was a long time ago it doesn’t matter, people have it worse than i do, am i even being emotionally abused”? im dealing with narcissist abuse from my mother and i have been for most of my life and my mind keeps telling me that i’m making all of it up and it’s not as bad as it seems. it even feels wrong calling it abuse. i told my therapist this and she reassured me that this IS abuse and that self doubt and confusion is common but idk why i cant allow my self to accept it. i plan on moving out bc of this reason, but again my mind will tell me “u don’t have a strong enough reason to move out, ur being so dramatic” ugh this is the worst feeling

Okay so this is not about OCD but I need to get it off my chest and this is the closest thing to therapy that I have cause it it very expensive and I can't afford it. I feel like my mom has a sexual problem. I feel unsafe around her. When I can growing up she always wanted to touch me and touch and see my boobs. When I hugged her she would always try to touch my back trying to figure out if I was wearing a bra or a tank top. And between 1 and 2 years ago I stopped letting her touch me. Not my hands, not a hug, nothing. And even though I've told her that I don't like touching she always tries to grab my but, or my thigh or my belly. When she does I feel like I wanna push her and I have a panick attack. I'm 19. She doesn't like when I have friends. It feels like she gets jealous and she always tries to keep me home, to not go out at all. I feel like I'm not making any sense but I needed to get that off my back

I don’t know what to do

I really need help. This isn’t ocd related but I don’t know what to do and I have no one to go to. I think my mom is verbally abusive and I don’t know if I’m overthinking because I’m told all the time I overthink things but I can’t calm down. My mom has treated me horrible my whole life she doesn’t pay attention when I tell her things I’m excited about, she dismisses my feelings or when I’m upset and makes me feel like I’m a problem or that I don’t matter and that her problems are always worse than mine. She has threatened to hit me many times throughout my life but never has except for once when I was little I had a horrible headache and was crying from the pain in my room and we had company and she came in and hit me and told me to shut up that I’m worrying the company. She’s called me so many horrible names and just did today. We were playing cards and listening to music with my grandma and when I made a music suggestion she had a strong opinion about a singer that she has also listened to and when I got irritated about it she stopped playing and said I was a “little bitc*” said “another holiday ruined” and made a comment about my friends at work and that I treat them some way is why I lost them or whatever and she’s always called me much worse. I don’t know what to do. I’m scared and I want to escape so badly but I can’t I have no where to go. I’m 23 and live with my mom and grandma. I can’t afford to move out and if I did I would have to live in my car. I’m so scared and upset. I hate myself. I wish I could just give up and I’m scared if I do that than it’s going to get much worse for me but at this point I don’t care. I have no one who loves me or cares about me and I definitely don’t have my mom because if it were any one else she would be so kind to them and treat them so nice if they were going through a hard time because I’ve heard her do that for many people but in real life when no one is listening and I tell her what is going on and why I’m upset she yells and screams at me saying I’m a ungrateful bitc* and that there’s nothing I could possibly be stressed about and many other things. I can’t do this anymore. I wish I could be free
