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

ROCD & friends
Hi everyone☀️ has anyone ever vented to a friend without knowing it is a compulsion? Meaning like you believe the thoughts so much in your head you vent to them and they agree with you? Which then fuels your obsessions about your relationship even more? I have really done that less lately the more I have learned about my ROCD, but wanted to know if anyone else experiences this? It’s so hard when we think we are just venting and then someone agrees or goes along with the obsession because they don’t understand the OCD..which then fuels my ROCD 😭 idk if I’m making sense lol hopefully someone understands

Just a vent
So I’m always telling people who say I’m not getting any help or advice on my post that maybe those people just don’t know what to say or they’re afraid of possibly making the situation worse… well while that is completely understandable I feel like the amount of help/advice/ interaction has went down drastically on this app.. again not complaining I’m thankful for everyone on here but I just wanted to know if others have felt the same way

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.
