..why do I feel so alone? So disgusting and alone with my thoughts. I feel like a monster and I can’t explain to anyone the extent of my anxieties. They are there, and they can listen to me and reassure me but they don’t understand how much they affect me. This is so hard.
OCD is full of silent sufferers, but I can assure you that you are not alone. I completely understand what you're going through, in fact right now I'm going through quite a bad flare up. It's hard but you're going to get through this.
@Studybug This is it right here
So they say everyone has intrusive thoughts. I guess that means we are not alone there. We take them personal and try to push them away making them worse. I have learned so many have problems that they just don’t talk about. You always have a place here to open up about things. OCD is hard to understand unless you have dealt with it. I hope this helps somewhat to know you are not alone.
OCD makes me feel so alone. These last few months I feel like I’ve been unable to be honest or open fully with anyone. I’m so ashamed of what’s inside me and I’m scared. I feel like everything is my fault and I’m lonely despite having wonderful people and things in my life. I am alone and feel so fake and disingenuous.
I’m fairly new to treating my OCD and have felt crazy for most of my life. It didn’t help that no one in my life truly understood OCD and always said I was being dramatic. I very recently (within the past few months) finally got diagnosed with OCD and my whole life started to make sense. However, I recently opened up to someone I really believed I trusted about the intrusive thoughts I have and now feel worse than I ever have before. They essentially called me a psychopath and said they are worried for the people around me. Even though I would and could never hurt anyone. I’ve never felt more alone and broken in my life. I already try very hard to hide my OCD and everything associated with it because no one in my life understands so it’s been easier to deal with it myself than listen to everyone say whatever they have to say about my situation. After what happened today I’m even more inclined to just keep it to myself. I don’t know what I’m expecting from writing this but I figure this is the best place to write what I’m feeling. Going through OCD is hard enough on it’s own. But when people are telling you they think you’re a danger to society and are crazy because of your intrusive thoughts it really hurts. I’m just tired.
Does anyone feel alone with all the ocd struggle? Like, this is not something that we can tell to anyone. I've been feeling so lonely and missunderstood. I mean, I feel like a weirdo. This is so hard. There are some days when I feel like "this is it, i'm gonna be stuck on this forever". Tomorrow i'll see my psychiatrist to make some adjustments on my meds.
