My opinion would just be a sincere apology. Talk about how both of you feel. I’m very impressed by how strong you’ve been through all of this, and you deserve your health. You deserve to take a deep breath and be able to relax and fall asleep. You deserve a home cooked meal and hugs and smiles. You deserve to go outside and take a deep breath of fresh air. You got this.

But you didn’t and don’t deserve what happened to you.

Wow. My heart is hurting for you. You deserve so much better. If you’ve made it through all of this you’ll definitely make it out okay.

Thank you for your kind response ❤️ I moved to Dubai for a new life and weaned off my medication. Fell in love and then got laid off. Had to move with my boyfriend to his free company accommodation on the conservative outskirts of Dubai. I was dealing with depression and had a drunk scene lashing out and he punished me for months. He even threatened to leave me without food and water and abandon the apartment and I faked a jumping balcony scene so he would stay. After all of that and going home I can’t even describe to u the mental state I was in. Going outside even made me anxious. He brainwashed my mom and she always takes his side, even when he spit in my face she said I provoked him. I have huge resentment towards my mom and her controlling ways and ironically she’s the one I confess embarrassing things to as a compulsion. I did apologize and hug it out and then she starts up again and I get a rush of anger in me. Now I just hold it in but it’s not healthy. She brushes off meds and mental health and says I need to be grateful and if I want meds I need to move out (I can’t afford to now I work 7 days a week, 2 jobs, paying off credit card debt) but when I was on meds and therapy I was ok. Now I’m in full ocd relapse. And me attacking her really makes me feel like a horrible person. I can’t describe the resentment I feel towards her even though she’s done everything for me and is selfless. I had a verbal fight with her once and he called my dad for backup and he ended up beating my head. So I was around a tumultuous household growing up.

I feel so horrible and guilty, I've been pretty depressed lately and I don't know if i'm doing something wrong or not but my mom keeps getting mad at me, and I keep getting snappy with her. The other day she tried to take a selfie with me and I kinda got mad at her because it was in front of everyone and I didn't want to get anyone uncomfortable if they were accidently in the background so I told her stop in a kind of mean way. She stopped talking to me for the rest of the night and she keeps bringing up how disrespectful I am. I tried to explain to her I didn't mean anything mean by it?? It's triggering my OCD so bad and tonight i'm going to see a band I really wanted to see, and i'm super afraid shes gonna start bringing up how mean i've been lately. I've been really depressed and upset because of school and how much work their giving me, and I've been in my room for mostly more than 10 hours a day doing nothing but watching TV because I can't bring myself out of it, I don't know what to do anymore and the guilt of me possibly being a mean and aggressive person is haunting me.

For context, im going to college for 6 years (less than 2 years away to graduate college) to focus on fixing my GPA, volunteering, and MCAT studying... as well as graduating... My parents keep guilt tripping me and asking me questions like "did you know how much we've spent to keep you in college?" And telling me the amount they've spent on my college education... my mom keeps saying that "shes not trying to make me feel guilty, but it's a fact you have to accept..." I know they've spent a lot of money to help me... my mom claims she spent over 70k on me... and I know they're suffering... but them constantly telling me the same thing and saying things like I should drop out to focus on making money to save is honestly degrading my mental health... My mom is the only one who knows the full extent of how extremely horrible my extremely awful and terrible POCD real events when i was either 13 or 14 were... so it feels like im indebted to her for helping me throughout... but her constantly asking me these kinds of questions and then saying "im not trying to make you feel guilty" is counterintuitive... UPDATE: when I called my mom just now... crying about how much I l0athe myself every time she guilt trips me, she kept bringing up her own pain, and that I didnt keep my promises... to the point where I genuinely asked her if I delete myself, will she be happy... she at first compared me to other kids who graduated in four years, then asked if I thought I had suffered more than she has... and if i did, that I should "stop talking to her"... I genuinely cant take this anymore... I cant take this from her anymore... I cant take life anymore... she makes me feel like I shouldn't be here... I genuinely dont want to be here...

As a teenager and in other ways up until age 21, I was just an absolutely horrible person. It wasn't just a one time event that I regret, it was a lifestyle. I was a hedonist and a narcissist to an unbelievable degree and didn't even realize it. I read people's stories on here related to their real events and I just feel that I've done so much worse so it fuels this feeling that I'm unredeemable. And again it's not like I just made "one mistake." I was living under such a cloud of self-delusion and non-confrontation that I couldn't even embrace that what I was doing was wrong. Something pulled me out of that one night and I was forced to confront my actions (I believe it was God) but I've been living in this hell that is obsession ever since. I'm so guilty and ashamed and I'm desperate to find redemption. I can't forgive myself and I can't understand why I was the way I was or how on earth I even covered up what I was doing from others and even from myself mentally. I would just put a veil in my mind and not even think it was an issue. It's more likely than not that I am what I fear I am, so I guess trying to unconditionally accept the possibility of being what I fear is the only real way through this. Realistically I deserve all the suffering I'm receiving but I realize I can't have that mindset if I'm to have any hope of recovery. This is unbelievably isolating and I can't talk to anyone because of the risks involved. All I can do is try to limit compulsions, try to (somehow) accept the possibility of the worst case scenario and do my best to serve others.
