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

What to do
It becomes so difficult when you don't know what to do when you are feeling extremely irritated and frustrated and cannot communicate with others as they might feel disgusted. Nothing seems helpful.

Feeling alone with OCD
Sometimes I feel like nobody really gets me. Nobody knows what’s going on in my head. I try to explain in vivid detail, but my ocd immediately reads the other persons face and registers that they don’t get it. It’s a very isolating experience. Anyone else have something like this?
