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.

if any responds to this, it would save my night. Just knowing there is someone there who understands. This past week my ocd has been worse than usually. My harm ocd is so terrible, violent thoughts and images fill my head and I can’t make it stop and the thoughts constantly are centered toward my family members. It’s so terrible I just feel like crying and I’m so heavy and empty inside. Does anyone else understand? Know what it’s like. All this fear and doubt. Are these my own thoughts? Why am I having these? Am I a psychopath? Do I want to do these things? And so on. I just want to scream. I’m so so scared and I feel sick to my stomach and I don’t want to be anywhere near my family right now. Help me please

Feeling alone
Having ocd is a nightmare. I feel so alone. Most of society doesn’t understand it and it feels so awful. I feel like sometimes I don’t have anyone I can really vent to because no one truly gets it. My family and husband are supportive but I feel like they just don’t truly get it.

just want to end it
Been on this OCD roller coaster for 10+ years, I’m tired & nothing seems to get better. I want to leave this earth without hurting those who care about me, I’m done tbh. No hope left in me. I wish I had someone irl to talk to, cry with, someone who understands OCD (not a therapist). I hate this life.
