Maybe she has a small amount of it, it runs in families. I always find arguing people on it makes them doubt you back harder. I’d give her a real example: triggering thought, fear, compulsion, feelings before during and after compulsion, repetition, and aftermath destruction of life. See if she can find any situation- then be like; “sounds like anxiety, but not OCD because of XYZ not being present. If you feel like it’s ruining your life go get an assessment, but if not, you probably don’t have it”

I do think a lot of people sit with their symptoms and cave to their compulsions so they don’t realize they have a problem. And don’t realize how hard it is to try to get better. And it doesn’t cause problems for them. So maybe she does have some mild ocd? The thing is; if she says it to diminish your symptoms like “oh i have it and I’m fine so why can’t you be fine” then she needs to know it’s not true and needs to educate herself (i have a friend like that which is super hurtful). But if she’s genuinely concerned it would be good to help her discern what it really is and if she has it.

Does anybody else feel like their mom just doesnt understand the extent to which u are suffering with ocd and it makes u so upset. Like i told my mom i was cleaning bc nobody else in the house does. She got so upset and said she always cleans. She meant like vacumming and dishes and stuff, but i meant disinfecting bc i have contamination ocd. But she didnt underatmd me and started saying how she always cleans but im just sleeping in too late to see. She was really upset w me. Then i said that she is thinking the worst of me the while time. Then she said that im the one being so judgy.. what?? Like does she even understand this occupies my life. I literally have dreams about it, my whole life revolves around it. Its the only thing i think about.

Here I am having a bad day with ocd . Meanwhile , my mom is giving Ton of crap for ridiculous things like ; having my hair messy, being late to work, not being able to do things on my own like drive a car and/ or transport myself to own places on my own. This is so exhausting she has no idea what I am going through and everyday is a fucking battle for me . The other day she was very upset I hadn’t cleaned up my room but that is all due to my ocd :( I can’t even do that . Not to mention, if I ever do clean my room I have to always do it in such precise way . I can’t have any interruptions and I always have to have everything done the way I feel is right . Aside from the anxiety I get from that, I’m also feeling overwhelmed with my daily ocd thoughts . Somebody help me !

Feel like you have to tell everyone about your ocd
I always feel like I should tell my mom about my intrusive thoughts. It’s constantly in my head but I don’t really want to as I feel she won’t get it and it may be a compulsion to want to tell her. Has anyone experienced this?
