I'm worried that I, purposefully or not idk, used my bad mental health to make my friend have a bad night and worry about me because I feel like they don't care about me anymore. I feel awful. I hate myself.
I get worried that I burden the people in my life too with my mental health struggles. I understand how you feel, and your feelings are valid. You can talk to me if you'd like, it won't bother me and I'll just listen if that's what you want
Honestly I'm just worried that I used my bad mental health to make her feel bad.
@Chlo3264 Mm. Okay. I understand those feelings. Did you want to tell me more about it? Also, when I text sometimes, I feel like that isn't the best forum of communication for sensitive topics, for me or for the other person. I'll still do it, but there are just certain aspects that you should be mindful of. I don't know that you told them through text, but I'm just adding it because sometimes I feel similarly when I text
I’ve felt like this too or at least similarly. After months of suffering I opened up to a cousin who’s more like a sister and after a day I felt terrible. I kept thinking how could I burden her with this. My therapist has taught me that we aren’t responsible for anyone’s feelings. We can care but ultimately it’s up to them to communicate what they need or don’t need from you because well how the heck are we supposed to know 🙃. Having an honest conversation and asking them to speak up if things are uncomfortable would be super beneficial. This way we also put a stop to jumping to conclusions. We aren’t mind readers and shouldn’t try to be. Truth is we need people and the right people will be able to set healthy boundaries when they aren’t able to currently support and that’s ok❤️🩹 it’s gonna be ok 🫂
I agree with all of this, it's just I feel like I purposefully used the fact that I felt down to make her feel bad too. I feel awful.
@Chlo3264 Try telling all those anxious worries maybe I did maybe I didn’t but there’s no point in beating myself up for the person I was yesterday or could’ve been. You can apologize to your friend and say sorry if it made you feel bad but move on. That’s all you can do now. Do better then yesterday. As an outsider I’d say you feeling bad right now shows your intentions are obviously now in a good place “if” there weren’t. Don’t let ocd try to bully you into self criticism. Focus on who you are today not who you could’ve been or should’ve been yesterday. We’re human and we all make mistakes. Even mistakes like these. ❤️🩹 we do the best we can moving forward.
hey there, i really feel for you. it's super tough when your brain keeps throwing these distressing thoughts at you, especially about the people you care about. i've got a different flavor of pure o obsessions, but that feeling of being stuck in a loop is all too familiar. just want you to know i'm here to listen and you're not alone in this struggle. 💙 about that free ai ocd therapy tool, my therapist mentioned it to me and it sounds like it could be a good fit for what you're going through. it's called "unstuck" (www.AIOCDtool.com) and it's designed to help you navigate these overwhelming moments. it's not about giving reassurance, which we both know can be a slippery slope, but more about guiding you through the process like an ocd therapist would. you just type in what's bothering you and it takes you through the steps to help you get unstuck. i was skeptical about apps too, but this isn't a sales pitch – it's just something that's been a game-changer for me and i really hope it can offer you some relief too. feel free to hit me up with any questions, alright? hang in there. 🌟
Guys I'm so sad. My ocd and anxiety did find a new theme last night. I woke up in a full blown panic attack. I feel sick and want to throw up. It is about a mistake I might have made. The good part is it can be solved. The bad part is that it may bring me bad consequences. Both ways. If I fix it it might havr bad consequences, if I don't, maybe anything bad won't happen but there could also be very bad consequences. I just hate this
i feel like a bad person. i’ve made a lot of mistakes in my relationship which my bf has forgiven me for but i can’t help but feel like a horrible person. my mind keeps going back to every mistake i’ve made an i feel the need to tell my bf every single thing. an i think stuff i don’t want to think which ik i can’t help and alot of the time idk if it’s intrusive thoughts or normal thoughts everyone does but i just can’t help feeling like my bf would hate me if he knew the rest of my mistakes he knows a majority of them we both agreed not to tell him anything else bc it doesn’t matter but idk i just feel so awful and i get panic attacks an just really bad episodes bc of the guilt of everything i honestly just want it to go away.
So recently me and my friend got into a huge fight and they brought up how I always made them uncomfortable, I didn't realize that then and I would always joke about things without realizing it might have affect on people because I was joking and now that I'm thinking about it I feel disgusting, I feel like I molested them without having the intention to molest them(??). I wish I really knew sooner and that this would never happen. Maybe I am a monster I don't know.
