Hi! I’m noticing & I’m caring! I’m so sorry you feel like people around you don’t care- OCD is very very hard to understand for those who don’t have it. It’s hard for parents to admit that their children are not well be it physically or mentally. If they are making you feel bad about your pain then that is not okay. You maybe need to a have a real sit down with them- maybe even with a psychiatrist- to help them understand that what you are dealing with is painful & it is hurting you. The most important thing for you to do right now is practice self compassion. You are not worthless and the world would not be better without you here. Despite your families inability to understand, they care about you & so do your friends. And you should care about yourself too!! You are valuable & wonderful & you have & will do great things in the world! Even if you hold a door open for someone, you make someones day! You make the world a better place by doing small acts of kindness- that is valuable even when it seems easy to forget. You do good things without giving yourself credit. Pat yourself on the back & tell you that you love yourself. You deserve the self compassion❤️

You're gonna get through this, it's hard for them to understand the situation you're in but don't give up, you're not alone in this

Sending you love and compassion. I was reminded once that "not being here" is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. This will pass. I am sorry that your family doesn't understand. The people who have made the most positive impact on others and this world are those who have overcome adversity, just as you will.

Reading this makes me think of myself so so much. I feel the exact way some days. You are trying really hard and you are strong give you yourself credit for that. It’s hard for family to accept and understand this. It’s hard but you matter ! You matter so much ♥️ sending all love and compassion too. Stay strong.

I’m sorry your family acts this way towards you. I have to ask—do you think you are in danger of harming or killing yourself? If so please call a hotline. 741741 is a text line in the us that has been helpful to me. I’ve also called the national suicide hotline a few times and found that helpful. Reminder: even if your family doesn’t understand, you have all of us behind you. Also, are there other relationships in your life (friendships, ect.) that you can maybe give time and attention to? Always here if you need me. ❤️

So I and my mom got into this big fight yesterday and I said some things I didn't mean to say to her and she said some things and I know what I said was bad but what she said cut deep in me because Even though what I said to her wasn't good her words hurt because going through wat om going through rn is honestly the worst thing a human can go through my worries and fears now all of a sudden now become feeling of Suicide and self-harm and honestly she's right because at this point I'm at a dead end and there's no going back I didn't tell her what was actually going on with me because I know she will never look at me the same and growing up with parents that are Gen x back in the day mental illness is a fucking joke to them apparently and is not taken seriously not all of them are like this but I know a few now I've been thinking about offing myself I don't think I'm gonna make it I'm really struggling.

I hate sitting in my room with only me and my thoughts. I have lost my faith in the lord and can’t seem to get on with my life. I’m so stuck on everything and can’t seem to get better. I keep self harming and get to the point to where I see the second layer of my skin. It gets worse and worse each time I have suicidal thoughts. One of these days it’ll get so bad that well you can probably guess what I may do. I have been abused physically mentally and sexually in my past and it haunts me every single day of my life. Any time I try to talk to someone about my mental health they tell me I’m a waste of their time or that I need to talk to someone other than them. But all that does is make me keep it all bottled up and I can’t take it anymore. They say mental abuse is worse than physical and I can see why they say that. I just want a normal life so I don’t have to be depressed 24/7. It ruins my social life and it makes me loose my friends and family because of how distant I am. I just need help and please give me advice. Also sorry I’m not very good at explaining things.
