What about showing them the NOCD community posts. They will first hand see how many people are truly fighting ocd and also different types of ocd. If that doesn't convince them, I am afraid they are a lost cause. In such case keep putting up with themuntil you get the first chance to make it on your own and get away from them. If after you have tried everything, they still don't believe you and keep insulting you, they are just toxic. And sweety, your ocd is way more than enough torture in your life. You really do not need extra obstacles and toxicity. I apologize if I am too blunt or sound to rigid. I have been there, been through similar stuff and my healing was not possible until I cut my ties with all of them. New life, new people, fresh start. Well, that was now 25 years ago. I say I am 25 years old, because on the day I left them all behind, I was reborn. Good luck. All the support you don't get from them, you will get from us here! 🙏👍🤗

Thank you so much and no you're not being too blunt .I really tried explaining I even showed them videos explaining it but they get upset and tell me that watching videos like that will only make me worse and that those videos are the reason I think I have OCD it's so frustrating recently they told me that I'm just not trying hard enough and I should just stop like what😭😭I keep trying to explain it's not that easy and that If I could stop I would but it's so much more complicated

Is this psychiatrists/doctors telling you this or just people in your life?

@Stupidbrain22 Perhaps you could find a YouTube video on ocd to send to them. People who don’t have ocd have trouble understanding what it is and how debilitating it can be. It’s a hard disorder to explain

@One_moment_at_a_time Well I tried doing so but they tell me that it's just me convincing myself that I have it and I should stop watching videos about it and researching about it

@Stupidbrain22 They are wrong and you don’t have to convince them. Do the work you need to do. If they don’t understand, that’s their problem; I know that’s easier said than done.

@PianoMan99 You are actually right it's just sometimes it's exhausting when I'm trying to make progress and they keep getting angry with me because of my symptoms and I try to explain but they never listen

@Stupidbrain22 You will. And it’s ok if they’re wrong. They’ll come around when they see the progress you made and your improved in-the-moment-ness. You can prove them wrong with your improved happiness. But no pressure. Take your time, pace it, day by day.

@Stupidbrain22 😊 I’m glad. Genuinely, best of luck!! I’ve been through the RING-ER and have suffered with debilitating ROCD, so, believe me, in my own way, I understand completely. It’s HORRible.
