I understand and am with you girl. :( that must have been so hard but honestly who cares about her there’s ALWAYS going to be people who don’t understand because they don’t live in your head. Stay strong beauty

To be honest your sister-in-law sounds very inappropriate from the way she acted. This is just my opinion, but I think someone who refers to medication that’s for mental illness as “crazy pills” is not worth trying to explain anything to. Also you have absolutely no duty whatsoever to have to share about your mental illness to anyone unless you are comfortable to do so. She acted very inappropriately in that situation and she’s the one who should be embarrassed, not you. Let her continue on in her blissful ignorance.

When people make incredibly inappropriate comments about mental illness I just remind myself they are ignorant. Not ignorant as in rude, but rather uneducated.

@LaPink got it right, it is her problem, not yours!

@beautifully: I’m so sorry you had to go through that. I hope you know you have nothing to be ashamed of. Everyone has “crosses” they have to bear. Ours’ just happens to be OCD. The fact that you are taking medicine shows that you are a fighter who is taking action to get better. You should be proud of that! There will always be ignorant and unsympathetic people in the world. We can’t control how they act, but we can control how we react to them. Keep your head up, knowing that you didn’t choose to have OCD, be proud of what you are doing to get better, and always remember how special and important you are!!

How horrible! I’m so sorry that she did that. It sounds like she’s very difficult and immature. Next time she does something inappropriate I would say something along the lines of “you must feel really bad about yourself if you are trying to embarrass someone else. Is there something you are dealing with that is making you act so hateful?” Do it out of love and compassion instead of hate. Maybe she will see how terrible she is being.

Last night I was staying at my boyfriend’s house and couldn’t sleep. I felt like i desperately needed to go back to my parents and clean and organize my room. This has happened a few times before when I was staying at his place. Since then he’s been very upset with me. Does anyone else’s partner do this? Any advice? It’s been hard. He’s made me feel so shameful for having OCD. As if it’s not tough enough /:

Today is Easter and it was supposed to be low key for me and my family but my mom invited a family member that bothers my ocd alot and now they are on their way here and I'm freaking out I already had a panic attack (still having it) and my family is not helping either they keep making comments about how they just want one holiday with no problems and some other comments and it's like I'm sorry I'm not normal like my siblings I didn't ask to be like this now I'm just hurt, upset and I locked myself in my room for the rest of day. (And I was doing so good with erp and this is like making me have a ocd relapse)

So I was at a family thing yesterday and my ice was bothering me and I kept washing my hands and my family noticed and started making fun of me for it and it was like non stop it made me feel really alone especially since they clearly know something’s up but they just make it worse instead of at least trying to help😕
