I’m so sorry that happened. It’s really not ok for him to be treating you that way.

@shahsand I used to do healing sessions with a modality called Internal Family Systems and that is what I think of when you ask for advice. Basically, when we have past traumas that we haven’t healed from yet (which is common because you may not have been able to process them or you may not have had a safe person who was there to support you), we will end up in situations similar until it is healed. I think the fact that drama and fighting give you anxiety is a clue to what the original trauma was. Basically sometime before when there was drama and fighting…possibly many years ago. I’d be glad to answer questions you might have if you are interested in something like that, but it could be very helpful to find a therapist that specializes in Internal Family Systems. When it comes to healing trauma, it’s the best thing I’ve ever done because you are shown how to actually heal the root cause instead of just having to manage the symptoms forever.

@Elizabeth D. It can help a lot to befriend that part of you, if that makes sense. Basically getting to know and understand the part of you who went through that trauma, acknowledging him, getting to know what he’s feeling, etc. With no judgment, no expectation, just compassion.

@Elizabeth D. yeah i’ll try that it’s just uncomfortable knowing i have to watch my back constantly and there’s a lot of compulsions and reasssurance associated with it since there are a lot of facts

@shahsand The cumpulsions and reassurance are parts of you that are currently working really hard to keep you safe. What’s amazing is that when the part or parts that they are protecting are healed, then even the protector (compulsion/reassurance in this case) parts don’t need to that job anymore and they can be free to do something else.

@Elizabeth D. i’m not too sure about that. I think the compulsions and reassurance are the hardest thing right now like asking people i know questions about it and then making sure they don’t say anything to him etc so i’m trying to leave them and not act on them

@shahsand Oh that makes sense. It’s hard to deal with old wounds when you are currently in an unsafe situation. He really threatened you and that isn’t ok….finding safety in this situation is crucial and then you can work on the healing in a safe environment. Is there anyone safe that maybe you could stay with for a while? Do you feel like you need to go somewhere else or even call a crisis hotline?

@shahsand What he is doing is not okay. Do you think you could get advice from your brother on how to handle this guy?

It’s really awful. No one deserves to be in a situation where they end up in a street fight to begin with. It makes sense that your family has lots of drama and I’m sure that contributed.

I have this old friend I became friends with online at like 15-16 years old and they are a bit younger than me. I’m 18 and having a younger friend just triggers the pocd I have and I kind of don’t want to be friends with him anymore unless he’s 17. I don’t know if I should talk to him about this because I don’t want to ghost him as a friend cause I been through that shit. I don’t know what to do. We been friends for a long time.

my ocd and anxiety has been so bad a couple of days… so i started liking this guy that i am friends with and we also went to prom together… after prom, i caught feelings for him even more because he’s so respectful and nice… but he is also a boy that acts like one… but overall he’s rlly sweet.. the other day though since we go to the same school we were in the parking lot after school with our friends just talking and socializing… but once he was leaving i went to go give him a hug and hugged me… my other guy friend was with us who’s also friends with him and hugged him too and whispered in his ear and said “yo u and sav would be a good couple” and he nodded saying “yes” (my guy friend told me that) so eventually i told him saying “yeah i like him” blah blah but there is a problem that bothers me so badly… my friend likes him… i didn’t tell her for a while until i think my OCD was just bothering me sm if i didn’t tell her so i told her how i felt and i was just saying like “i don’t want this to ruin our friendship or anything but i have feelings for him…” yada yada… she was like “i understand but if i’m honest with u if u ask him out i will be upset” i’m just like i wasn’t planning to rlly i can’t tell if he rlly likes me anyways but i didn’t say that… i said “i’m just telling u how i feel” and she goes “i mean i would see u guys anyways because u guys are closer” then she says “can i ask u something and a non rude way” and i was like sure…. she goes “since i’m the first person that liked him can i give it a try if it doesn’t work that’s that” and i was like girl idk it’s Gods plan if it doesn’t work it doesn’t if it does it does” and i’m saying that in the most mature and respectful way yk? because i am christian i’ve been praying about it also. so we were good after that but my anxiety and OCD has been so horrible… i’m uncomfortable around them because she flirts with him but i don’t and she did it on ft when i fell asleep on ft and my best friend was on there and had to hear it….she told me that he does it back she just can’t tell if he’s joking or not… but i’m so overwhelmed about it i’m having thoughts like “what if u and him stop being friends” … “what if something bad happens” …. “what if ur not confident in yourself enough where he won’t like you” …. “what if this is a love triangle” i’m just so sick of this and i don’t wanna be so distraught over a stupid boy because i’ve been through sm with my past talking stage thinking it will work but now im like rlly cauious over being in a relationship now…

This is probably not OCD but I have made a post about this guy. So long story short, last week I texted him asking how his day went with his mom and all that. So he then texts me “how was your day” and I said good and I said “yours” and he said “tough” “I’m going to bed ttyl “ I asked what happened and what’s wrong and never get a response. Next day at work he’s not talking to me so I thought to myself to just wait and give him space. Hours later I eventually ask him at work if he was okay and he said he’ll talk to me after work. Never does. Still never talks to me. The next day is Sunday and he still never texts me so I continue getting ready for church and ended up staying hom and telling him “I’m staying home this Sunday” “I’m proud of you for getting baptized” still no answer until finally Monday night or Tuesday morning he responds with “THX” I come in to work today and my cousin (manager) says he asked her if (the other manager) was going to church tomorrow she tells him “she said no” and then my cousin says “did you ask Bree?” (That’s my name) and he says “I really don’t want to talk to her right now”) he asks my cousin will she go to church with him. I keep overthinking “what in the world did I do” I’m trying to figure out what happened. I feel crazy for wondering what happened for him to all of sudden do this. I just like him as a friend but now I’m starting to dislike him period and have permanently deleted our messages and blocked him today. I took my time and thought hard before blocking and deleting. Maybe he’ll talk to me maybe not but we’re adults and I’m trying to figure out what i did because I’m really confused
