ruining relationships because of my ocd
i’m feeling so hopeless today because of my ocd around sickness and germs. i was just sick about a month ago the first week i came home to visit my parents, which was hard mentally and caused a breakdown. after i recovered i was feeling so good and happy, then my dad got a respiratory infection and it caused me so much fear that i decided to rebook my flight to an earlier day. i keep washing my hands and checking my symptoms obsessively. my throat has been scratchy and i feel like im getting sick now which caused me to spiral and feel so down on myself. i ended up cancelling a fun outing with my mom this morning because i was crying so much and having anxiety. my parents both exploded at me saying i focus on every little thing and want to be perfect, am so selfish etc. but im really truly just struggling with my obsessions about germs. i feel like i ruined my good positive relationship with my parents and feel so worthless and misunderstood.
