Hi beautiful. Take a minute to breathe. ? You are a meaningful work of art who is worth dying for because Jesus did it. Listen, I know it’s easy to feel misunderstood in the uphill battle of OCD. But remember, basically everybody has experienced anxiety at some point, just not on the same level as us necessarily. You are not alone. This whole community gets it. ? Here if you need to talk.

Hi Tori...you're so sweet. I've got tears thinking that someone can be so kind to me. Thank you for your kind words. My husband is saying I'm attacking him bc I've repeatedly encouraged him to download this app so he can better understand me and he just wont do it. But he says he loves me so much and all that. He feels attacked? I attack myself everyday all the time and I'm supposed to feel bad for him??? This app has helped me so much and I really feel that if he read some posts he would see I'm not some kind of alien. Then my mom, my poor mom she understands the most but I explode on her out of nowhere which makes me feel horrible guilt making me think no one should love me. It's just my brain doesnt stop so things set me off and I understand that's not fair to them I really do. But its it's not fair to me. So ocd is messing me up and those I love and at the end I'm responsible bc ocd isn't tangible. It's a vicious cycle. Its better not to talk to anyone and just seclude yourself. I always swore that talking and communicating can fix things. It doesnt..not for me.

@poohbear21 You are welcome in every way because guess what? We are CALLED to love one another. & it’s my favorite thing to do. Also, this sounds devastating. What a heavy burden to carry. My story is similar. I am only 18, but I tend to bombard my mom for reassurance & it takes a toll on our relationship. But she still chooses to love me every day. She is a wonderful mama. I could never ask for a better one. She has, however, been through a nearly identical struggle to mine when she was around my age. So when I constantly push her, she says it’s like post-traumatic stress flashbacks. She has come through such a hard time in her life, but me always asking her for help does tend to drain her even if she doesn’t want it to. After all, she is just a person. I encourage you to start doing a morning devotional. Mom suggested that to me, & it helps a lot. I used to struggle with guilt from my thoughts torturing me when I am trying to devote my time to worshipping Jesus, but as I am maturing, I realize God already knows my heart & how much I love & adore Him, & that I do NOT mean the thoughts that bully me. Hang in there sister. My Instagram is in my bio on here, feel free to direct message me. ?

Hey! I completely understand how hard it is when you don’t have support at home. Sometimes my dad tells me I don’t even have ocd which makes the doubts I already have so much worse. Everyone else just doesn’t care and doesn’t want to take the time to care. I get it. And no one is going to judge you here! You have a whole Community here to back you up and support you no judgment at all! We all understand how hard it is and all the weird and dark intrusive thoughts we all get. Don’t feel alone. You are understood! Trust me:) sending love and support!?

It's just they will bring up something else to for me to obsess about not knowing what I'm already going through so I get angry...its not right but it's not intentional either. I cant win with this
