Do you ever just try to be relatable to someone who hasnt hocd and ur like omg do ever feel like u jusr dont enjoy life anymore and im done im soo not happy and sad all the time but u know damn wellnits because hocd and they litteraly would be like uhhhh, sis u depressed and then im like why tf am i trying to convince myself that its normal and that the feelings i have are natural and human. Theyre not its hocd and its just not normal to have it and its not a common thing to happen to a lot of people so its not weird that i feel like this if i make sense. Im trying so hard to normalize my feelings just so i can convince myself theres nothing wrong with me but there deadass is a lot wrong and it has a reason. How tf do i want myself to relate to someone who doesnt have hocd bevause they wont relate and that’s logical. Idk if i make sense its hard To explain but its like i try so hard to be normal and i try to make people feel related to my problems so i csn convince myself its not hocd and i just be having normal people problems but its like the whole ass reasom why i feel like this is because of hocd. If i didnt had hocd i wouldnt feel like this knowwhatimean. Thats the problem but i try so hard to avoid that hocd is the problem i want normal people to relate to my problems even tho they dont have hocd so that i can be *normal* again. Ugh i need me some therapy

I knowww but like i never dropped thst its hocd. So i try so hard to make them understand without letting them know and idk hoe tf i expecr people to understand or relate when they dont know i have hocd or if they dont know what it is. And thats just hard because they would understand if they felt it or knew what it is and then I expected someone to unferstsnd be but i cant expect it bevause they litterly dont know what hocd is. Its kinda stupid of me but indont wanna let ppl know this is what i have

@hocdgirlsummer I get you! I felt the same! But fortunately or unfortunately all my family suffers from it!so once I told my mother she didn't gave me a choice! She said it's OCD!and that kind of make me happy! Because this means we are not freaks but we have a problem and since it is a problem it is solvable! People will never understand it if they don't suffer from it! Everyone has problems and we won't be able to identify with everything people feel! The same way they won't! I think you should start by assuming what you have! And if your lucky as me you'll see many people pass something similar! When I told my sister she reminded me that she already had HOCD when she was 16! And when I talked to my bf she told she had been feeling the same has I! The difference between me and them is that I assumed I had OCD which is hard to accept! But now I know what I need to do to end it!!

@Mimi123 Ahw that gotta be comforting to know ur familt Knows whst ur going trough. Its very sad rhat they all had to go trough hocd tho...
