I can’t seem to understand you, I’m sorry. ? can you come back in 10 minutes so you can explain the situation in a calmer state? This is what I so far know: Your girlfriend told you something It is 100% true. your parents thinks it’s a lie (I don’t know where the “I don’t like being played” comes from but I will assume it’s from your parents) You don’t want to say something (idk what) Your girlfriend is mad for telling them the thing that wasn’t true (idk what the thing that isn’t true is) And your parents are mad. I’m so sorry about your best friend. How does that make you feel? If you want to talk about it, we can! I’ll be here
She was having bad anxiety and she needed me there but but then told my parents that she was okay when I knew she wasn’t and she knew she wasn’t so my parents think I was just telling them that she needed me there as an excuse to go over past my curfew but I don’t want to tell my parents what she said to me because I respect her privacy so they think I’m “playing them” and lying to them when I’m not. I hope that makes more sense:(
Would it be possible to have your girlfriend come over to your house when your parents are home so she can explain what's troubling been troubling her. Maybe your parents can help her.
@Secret I understand way better. Thank you. I agree with JCM. You can have her write a letter or come in person. It’s just a simple misunderstanding!!! Can you ask her if she’s fine with you telling your parents the reason why you came over? I don’t think it will hurt to try. Update us soon! Over all, if you can’t explain, apologize to your girlfriend if her feelings were hurt by the situation. Not for your actions but because of your parents response. You are doing a good job respecting her privacy. You sound like you care a lot about her.
I love her so much, we talked about it and stuff but the same thing is kinda happening again but idrk I’m just really feeling bad tonight and my ocd isn’t helping and I don’t think vaping is a good coping method but I don’t know. Like I’m so sad sitting on my couch after work listening to sad music and I’m just feeling so overwhelmed with my ocd and just feeling like shit. I’m thinking taking a nice hot shower and playing some of the video games that I love to take my mind off of things but I don’t know anymore...
Take that hot shower and give yourself time to play games and relax. I understand those days, when sometimes things happen all over again. And the anxiety comes back and you’re choking on thoughts. I remember thinking “god please not again. Don’t ruin this for me.” At one point. Take some time off of it. Come back when you’re ready to handle things clearly. If you’d like, you can explain what’s happening again. But be strong. Take it one day at a time. One day.
My mom just told me she doesn’t really believe that I have ocd because I don’t have enough “repetitive actions” and I just have bad anxiety. I feel so beaten down that someone so close to me doesn’t believe my struggles :(
TW. Also long post ahead . I’ve been dealing with OCD for the past 10 years. I’m 32 years old . I didn’t get diagnosed with OCD until this year. I was always diagnosed with GAD, panic disorder, and depression. I don’t have your typical compulsions. Mine are mostly all mental. Reassurance seeking, avoidance , repeating a prayer , etc . I have three main themes . Schizophrenia OCD, sexual orientation OCD, and HIV. Sometimes i deal with harm OCD and POCD but my main big three are the ones I listed first . I feel like the schizophrenic OCD is the most debilitating for me. For the last ten years I’ve been thinking I’m losing my mind . I thought once I got to a certain age the fear would go away but it hasn’t and is in full force . I’m constantly checking my surroundings, what I’m hearing, how I’m acting , questioning if things are real and so on . Now I do have times where this theme doesn’t bother me . It’s put on the back burner . I go through cycles . But when I’m focusing on this theme I feel like I’m hearing stuff . Most of the time I can’t make it out but recently I feel like I’ve been hearing a whisper saying “hey” . It mainly happens at night . It sends me into a complete panic and I feel like “this is it “ I’m seeing an OCD therapist and she recommended me to go to this psychiatric place in town to get meds to help my anxiety from the OCD. My last psychiatrist always pushed the newest medicine and was constantly changing up my regimen. I thought I would give it a try. WORST IDEA EVER . Keep in mind my therapist gave me a letter to give to her explaining I have been diagnosed with OCD and explaining it . She doesn't think I have OCD at all. She wanted to put me on an antipsychotic so me with my OCD brain . I asked her if she thought I was psychotic . She said I was nearing psychosis . She called me interesting . She feels like I have major depressive disorder . I'm just at a loss for words. It was honestly the strangest meeting I have had with a psychiatrist. It was very unprofessional. She has no idea the damage she has done nor do I think she cares. I just don't know what to Believe in anymore ... We met for approximately 45 minutes . First time ever meeting. I just want to cry and I’m freaking out 😢
