Vent
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
No one who cares No one who understands No one who shows up No one who listens I have no one… Not even on a post venting to the world… I have no one…
Having ocd is a nightmare. I feel so alone. Most of society doesn’t understand it and it feels so awful. I feel like sometimes I don’t have anyone I can really vent to because no one truly gets it. My family and husband are supportive but I feel like they just don’t truly get it.
Is it weird I been thinking about my therapist every single day waiting till my next session just for me to be able to Vent and express myself . I be feeling weird I think of her because I wanna talk to her .. I don’t really got anybody to talk too but if I do they maybe listening but they not understanding me … Is it weird me not feeling understood makes me feel lonely .
