Tired
Anyone else wish that people understood what OCD does to us and why its so hard for us to breathe or act or think like them? Its rough.

Yep. Always a pain to explain to someone what ocd is. Especially more taboo themes because they might say something that will make you spiral

@Fruitsnacks People also just think its regular anxiety which is nuts. Like no to treat this I need to do the opposite of what you would do for GAD

Agreed. my partner doesn't have a worry in the world about ANYTHING and while this is a really nice balance at times, its so frustrating because its hard to explain that i could do something yesterday that i cant do today and i might be able to do tomorrow and YES its because of this one other thing that happened that has nothing to do with it but thats just how it is right now. or that i now have a new rule for myself that came out of nowhere. OR that im frustrated at myself for the way i have shifted things to make them harder and the guilt i now feel that something he wants to do i can no longer do with him.

@Alison_cox Thats how I feel with my boyfriend, he is also very chill and nonchalant. I unfortunately am a squirrel on crack like 85% of the time

@wafflemonster I’m convinced he’s gonna leave me every other day because I’m like “why is he putting up with any of this”

@Alison_cox I struggle with asking if he loves me because what if one day he says no because I’m just so much to deal with. Sucks to be us, but I totally understand you mamas ❤️❤️🩹

Not in a good place
My OCD wants to kill me. I have been crying to the point of nausea and the idea of carrying this disorder for the rest of my life has put my body in a state of fight or flight for well over 5 years. I’m exhausted, I’m tired, no one messages me because all I talk about is my OCD because that IS my day, week, month etc. I’m a struggling alcoholic because of this fucking disorder and it’s too much, I want to drink so bad but I know I’ll mess with my medication in a pretty scary way. But at this point I’m starting to not care. I’m scared and it feels like a bad dream where no one understands what I’m going through. Sorry for the word dump, I need to vent here because at least you guys get it.

What's the hardest part about living with OCD that others don't see?
OCD isn’t just about compulsions—it’s a mental battle that can be completely exhausting. The anxiety, doubt, and pressure to "get it right" can feel unbearable, especially when others don’t understand what’s happening beneath the surface.

I really wish yall would actually help.
This app is too flooded with posts and not enough people returning help. I really need it like. I’m sorry to be a nuisance but literally nobody else understands OCD & how debilitating it is. I’m so tired. So so tired.
