I am sooo unbelievably sorry to hear this! You do not at all deserve for her to say these terrible things to you! You deserve sooooo much better! You deserve so much kindness and grace! Please remember even while you struggle with OCD you are still an amazing person inside and outside! often times I have thoughts of I am ruining things because of my ocd and you deserve grace!

It isn’t fair, this is a truly debilitating disorder. My mother has BPD as well, and I know it is very difficult to handle sometimes. I wish your mother could understand it isn’t your fault. OCD makes normal desire for safety, stability, etc. go into paradoxical overdrive. I understand the deep desire to be like other people, but just because we have this disorder, doesn’t mean we can’t still live fulfilling lives. You clearly love your family very much, I’m sorry your OCD tries to take that from you, you don’t deserve that. You’re not weak, not at all. Many people do not understand how much strength it takes to fight OCD, but you are doing the best that you can just to stay here and keep living. Don’t give up. It may always be there in some way, but it will always get better, and you will be glad to have waited for a brighter day.

Yup ! You are definitely NOT weak ! Just experienced that feeling of not wanting to be alone with my thoughts . I got my laptop and did some work until I felt tired . I woke up the next morning saying to Myself “what am I doing , don’t distract yourself , allow your self to feel all of the feelings “ it sucks I know ! And having your mother not being supportive must be beyond tough. I’m not sure how old You are but this is time in your life that you accept that your mom is human with her life struggles . Get the treatment you need and focus on your healing. Sounds easier said but I know but you can

I’ve shared on here before that I don’t have the best relationship with my parents but I still care for them a lot. I love them. This disorder has been so debilitating for the last 4 months. It keeps getting worse. It’s been attacking any physical contact with my parents. Any touches, hugs, playful jabs, caresses, anything. Anything that’s supposed to be pure and loving. My brain jumps to it being inappropriate, or weird or just comparing it to something sexual. Then I just feel so uncomfortable. I don’t know if I’m just hyperaware of how I feel, I tense up badly or if I’m checking how I feel. I don’t know. It breaks my heart. It genuinely hurts so bad. I feel like a child who just wants to cry in her parents’ arms but OCD is trying to take them away. This feels so painful, I’ve been dealing with so many themes but this specific situation hurts the most. I feel devastated and scared. If anyone else has been through this or has any advice, I’d really appreciate it. And if not, just knowing that someone heard me would mean a lot. I feel so deeply sad.

I'm going through a rough time. I used to think medication would brighten my world, but if anything, it's muted it. The physical anxiety is less, and I felt okay(ish) for a while, but things are getting bad again. I'm so afraid I'll never get to a point where I feel safe in my body and in my mind. Today is the first day I've cried in... I don't know how long. But I didn't feel the relief I thought I would. Initially, I did, but it morphed into dread, and now I'm sitting by myself, trying not to panic. I really want to begin seeing a therapist for OCD, but I don't know how much my insurance covers. There's just so much on my mind right now. A whole bunch of old themes are resurfacing. I wish I could've been given a different path in life. I'm trying to stay strong. It's just really difficult. I feel like I'm being sent back to square one :(

Today is Easter and it was supposed to be low key for me and my family but my mom invited a family member that bothers my ocd alot and now they are on their way here and I'm freaking out I already had a panic attack (still having it) and my family is not helping either they keep making comments about how they just want one holiday with no problems and some other comments and it's like I'm sorry I'm not normal like my siblings I didn't ask to be like this now I'm just hurt, upset and I locked myself in my room for the rest of day. (And I was doing so good with erp and this is like making me have a ocd relapse)
