Why does it feel like nobody understands you?
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.
That's a great perspective.
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
