Why does it feel like nobody understands you?

Feelings are not facts. Sometimes they lie & deceive us by telling us there’s danger, when there is none. For example, last week I pulled my back & felt the pain. However, OCD latch on & I interpreted as kidney stones. My family kept telling me I was angry at them. I explained that the anger they see in my face is actually pain. Henceforth, they’re good observers but poor interpreters.

Sometimes they do understand and sometimes we’re good observers but poor interpreters.

OCD is a complex issue! People try to oversimplify it!

I'm scared right now because of the intrusive thoughts and I feel really misunderstood, and it makes me feel even more horrified when I try to explain my intrusive thoughts and they are like " that's probably real" but I 100% don't want it to be

I cannot help but feel exhausted as I go through life. It feels like I've lost the spark in me. And I'm pushing myself for no cause.

I want advice
My blood has never boiled this much than before. I genuinely wanna throw hands at someone and just scream. My parents always ignore my feelings and shit and always make me the bad one. I can let my shit out around these motherfuckers. My college plans and basically what I dreamed of is fucking destroyed. Nobody fucking understands the shit I have to deal with. It’s always on me. All the damn time. I fucking hate everyone. And whenever I try to fix myself for the better, surprise surprise, EVERYTHING ALWAYS FUCKS UP Everytime i try to vent, they never respond or never understand or it always turns back on me. My heart is beating so fucking fast. I can never enjoy anything with this shit.

No one understands
No one understands what I’m going through. My husband used to be my biggest supporter but not we’re separated and I try to explain to my parents why I’m upset when I have panic attacks but they don’t get it. For Example: This morning I told my mom I was having a panic attack. And she just kept asking “why? What’s wrong? U were so happy yesterday. When I said, I didn’t know I just was having this panic attack. She did not understand one bit. She just kept asking me why why why? And I’m like I don’t know. 😭 it makes me just wanna stay away from everyone and just isolate because people don’t understand. I know it’s not their fault. I’m actually glad they don’t understand because that means they’re not going through the pain I’m going through.
