Hey another day, another crisisš. The story is a bit complicated, so Iāll try to keep it short and simple. Basically my best friend has been hooking up/ hanging out with this guy who is a manager at our job. We are all around the same age, heās just a young manager. Anyways once she told me they started to have a fling again, (because this has happened a couple months ago in the past), I got extremely upset. She told me and I was just really disappointed in her because this guy isnāt a good person, plus heās our manager which makes it worse. When I tried to discuss it with her she just kept saying āitās okay, we donāt know what the future holds, weāll see what happensā, although this is extremely unlike her because she also has ocd and is always extremely precise and overthinking about everything. Anyways itās been a few days, and Iām still really distraught. I want to just not care, but something isnāt allowing me to just move on. Keep in mind about a year ago I had an ex best friend who got a boyfriend and completely pushed me out of her life. Iāve been through this before, and I think internally Iām scared of getting hurt again. Not to mention my best friend is literally my support system. I realized I depend on her for most things in my life, since I have a not good relationship with my family. Her getting a boyfriend feels like sheās cheating on me in a way, which sounds absolutely ridiculous, but in reality she is my person. I wouldnāt be able to like survive without her. So Iāve been feeling this feeling of dread mixed with anger and just like crying a lot. I hate feeling like this and I want to get myself together, I just donāt know how. My ocd makes me obsess over it, and now Iām getting intrusive thoughts. What if I get so angry I go on a rampage and hurt the guy? That also sounds completely and absolutely ridiculous but Im scared Iāll want to hurt someone. Iām usually not an angry person, but now Iām convinced Iām turning crazy or something.
Not to mention I started worrying about my future. To be honest I donāt think of having a boyfriend right now or really like anyone in general. Iām confused about my sexuality, because most men give me the ick. So Iām thinking about the future and imagining all my friends getting boyfriends and them caring about them more than they do me, and making me their 2nd choice for when they arenāt busy with their boyfriends. Again I realize this sounds really dumb, but I keep imagining it in my head and Itās not very fun. It makes me think Iām some crazy person who depends on my friends caring about me enough or else Iāll have a whole breakdown. Anyways it felt good to write that out. I think like any other ocd āepisodeā Iāve had, itāll get better eventually, and for now I need to work on being more self dependent, and work on my self esteem.
