Sometimes my OCD makes my parents very angry. It bothers me so much. Cause i dont want to have this thoughts. I dont want to be this way. I used to hate the way my father looked at me when i did my ocd rituals. I thought i see shame in his eyes. When i was in school. Every time i did my rituals I felt ashamed of what i was doing infront of others. It hurted so much. I so wanted to stop this. I just hated the way i looked. It just feel bad when my mother says "your driving me crazy" or " what have i done that you became like this" or "i wish god kill me" when she is bothered by my ocd. Or when they shout at me. I feel so bad. Cause i dont want to be this way more than anybody else. Im trying and i have improved so much. Im still trying. But my mother constantly put me under preassure for going to my therapist. I think she dont like her because she expect therapy to work fast.

I’m pretty sure most parents of OCD children get tired after some time, but that’s no excuse to say horrible things to their sons or daughters. My parents are kind of like your mom, they think therapy will change me after one session. They don’t understand that it takes time. My father doesn’t even believe that I have a mental illness.

More than me i think my parents needed reassurance that ocd is a mental illness and not some shit that is explained by general reasoning. They thought that i put myself under ocd because i thought too negatively during my life... I'm just glad i have their general support don't care that they don't assist me in my ocd battles I'm grateful for them but their opinion on my OCD doesn't matter...

This is not a nice thing to tell you, i dont know and dont think that I have ocd, I have not meet a therapist yet, but I used to always seeks assurance and share stuff with my mother until she actually shouted at me (not literally shout but rather a loud annoyed voice) and told me to go and pray to God to help me and that she is just a human like me, and I do forgive her for that because what she said was accurate, but that does not mean that I have problems either

I’m so sorry you have to deal with that. When they don’t understand it can definitely cause anger, frustration, etc. My parents have been weird about it. When we thought it was just anxiety for they seemed fine with everything but once it came out to be OCD it’s like the frustration and doubt came in. My mom gets almost annoyed it seems or maybe it’s just worrisome when I talk to her about it. She has told me “you’ve never dealt with this before so unless you’re not telling me something... (implying I did something and hid it from her that caused my OCD), you’re just looking up things online and claiming it as your own, you keep jumping around from therapist to therapist (I only switched once from a regular therapist to an OCD specialist), etc.”. My dad has been more supportive but he doesn’t get it. When I first told him I had OCD he said I didn’t have it, then said I probably got it from him.
