Been there. Am there. It will get better, I promise. Be nice to yourself right now, you’re doing the best you can. Try taking baby steps. If you get out of bed, tell yourself good job. If you make a choice that feels good for you - maybe a short walk or listening to an upbeat song or just putting on pants - good job! I’m sorry your family doesn’t understand. You will find people who get you and you will get through this.

Me too. I can’t talk to people about my condition. So many just don’t understand and completely disregard your feelings.

I know it's hard. My family knows of my rituals kind of, and I do seek reassurance from them. But this was before I knew I shouldn't. Now I feel like I have bombarded my mom with reassurance questions and that's why she is so mean to me. Probably because I'm constantly cleaning circles around her, asking her not to touch things, hellicoptering over her, and just in general stressing out. I know how you feel

I have started contacting support groups. Even if people have different themes it's nice to hear from others and can relate to what they are thinking and feeling.

Not in a good place
My OCD wants to kill me. I have been crying to the point of nausea and the idea of carrying this disorder for the rest of my life has put my body in a state of fight or flight for well over 5 years. I’m exhausted, I’m tired, no one messages me because all I talk about is my OCD because that IS my day, week, month etc. I’m a struggling alcoholic because of this fucking disorder and it’s too much, I want to drink so bad but I know I’ll mess with my medication in a pretty scary way. But at this point I’m starting to not care. I’m scared and it feels like a bad dream where no one understands what I’m going through. Sorry for the word dump, I need to vent here because at least you guys get it.

so overwhelmingly sad and need someone to talk to
My OCD has become so bad and I feel so alone. I have religious OCD (Christianity) and I’ve been doing okay with letting the blasphemous thoughts go in the moment, but I’m so overcome with guilt and shame I can barely function. I can feel okay and hopeful for a few minutes and then I’m reminded of the horrible thoughts and how nothing can take them back and I can’t handle the guilt. I’m becoming a burden to my family and feel so alone. I do not know what to do. Please help.

Feeling alone with OCD
Sometimes I feel like nobody really gets me. Nobody knows what’s going on in my head. I try to explain in vivid detail, but my ocd immediately reads the other persons face and registers that they don’t get it. It’s a very isolating experience. Anyone else have something like this?
