My opinion: you don't have to worry abt what people think bout u! U owe nothing to This person... I've lerned not to give a fuc# abt what people think abt me... I think anger, hate, depression is part of our desease, but we must be stronger then ocd! We must reeducate our brains to know that This intrussive thoughts arent real, even If some "hater" says so, you know urself, u know u're nothing that shes telling, she Just might be jelous of u or something, because u're probabli better then This girl... Aniways, the point im trying to get is: don't let enybody take ur inner peace, Focus on ur treatment, on ur goals, and stay strong! I'll be Glad to Help, or, at least, try to Help! Dry your eyes, keep ur Head up, and move on! Don't let nothing take the smile on ur face!

I’m so, so sorry, my friend. I’m sending you lots of hugs and love to get you through this. People can be so hateful, but the way I see it is that their opinions aren’t worth anything if they don’t know you personally. Hard as it is, try to stay focused on getting better. Take care of yourself. Go for a walk, dance, take a warm bath, eat some sweets, watch your favorite movie, or read a book. Do something you enjoy and remember that there will always be someone who cares for you, because I certainly do. Also remember that although someone may read what she wrote it doesn’t mean they’ll agree with it. Even if they don’t know your story, people may still realize that it’s wrong to hurt someone like she did ❤️❤️

Dont be afraid to take breaks from social media too. I know all too well it can be really addicting and can actually do more harm than good at times. Im taking a break from mine right now. I just kept getting too overwhelmed. Its not weak to practice self care so you can focus better

@Catlady thank you so much. I'm okay, I just feel super anxious. I kept waking up last night because of what felt like jolts of intrusive thoughts. I was doing better and I feel like she just put thoughts in my head of feeling like everything my ocd is true and that I'm a terrible messed up person

I'm currently at one of the lowest points with my OCD despite me working so hard on it and everything that I know it stems from because a lot of my OCD comes from trauma from sexual abuse as a kid and as I got older and a lot of other stuff which is also why I have Complex PTSD. I was doing so well, I started medication, and I was in this dual housing program for treatment and everything was going okay. That was until I ended up getting SA’D by a man there and none of the staff cared or did anything despite me doing everything possible and gathering all of this evidence and all the people there either didn't care or bullied me relentlessly as they laughed with my abuser. It was so painful and I felt so alone. I think what triggered my spiral was that it was very similar to the reactions of my past assaults and thus my OCD came spiralling alongside my C-PTSD symptoms and I feel like it is worse then before. I left that place but its still absolutely terrible and I feel so hopeless and hurt. Not only did this man hurt me like I have been in the past he brought back the very thing that caused me so many years of suffering. It makes me sick. I don't want to think these thoughts or feel these horrible urges and sensations. I feel so disgusting and broken.

My ex just told me I’m a narcissist and I haven’t stopped thinking about it for days now. He broke up with me for the 7th and final time now and I did have an avoidance compulsion but I don’t think it was all ocd because he would continuously make poor choices and I was feeling used by the end of the relationship. However I was still trying to convince myself it would get better and it’s just a rough patch we’ll get through eventually. I blamed my ocd because I didn’t want to give up on him and I feel like maybe I was just in denial that it wasn’t meant to be but I also wanted out for a while now. I felt guilty for feeling relieved when he broke up with me but it was a civil conversation and it seemed like we were ending on good terms. But now he’s telling everyone that I’m a narcissist and I abused him emotionally and I was controlling when I let this man do WHATEVER he wanted. I’m controlling because I said I wanted to do his hair because I’m literally a stylist. He said I’m just like my mother and I’m a sh*tty person. He sent me a long paragraph of why I’m worse than all of his exes and that I’m a bad mother days after we broke up. I know I should’ve handled the situation differently but I don’t think that should ruin me as a person. He also said he no longer believes what the men in my past did to me because I’m a narcissist so that means I’m a liar. Knowing one of my biggest fears is becoming the people who hurt me. Part of me feels like he knew this was an obsession of mine and used it against me. I really feel like the worst person alive right now. Like Hitler level evil. I normally don’t post much but this is ruining me right now and I don’t know who else to turn to. I’m out of options and I’m really just helpless right now.

Super triggering set of events that’s been unfolding for some months now. I’m going to try and not seek reassurance but grounded advice or support is appreciated. A couple months ago, I had a close friendship with a female friend who was also new to town and we had a nice friend group. I developed feelings for her, articulated that to her, and she kind of breadcrumbed me until there wasn’t much of a friendship left unfortunately. I had a conversation with her about the impact that the situation had on me and the toll it took on my mental health. I was calm but assertive and was proud that I stood up for myself. This was sad but hey that happens sometimes as you’re growing and making new friends/trying to find your people. I took space this summer from that group and it was awesome. I felt so much better, my ocd symptoms decreased, I met a bunch of new people, things were good. I am now trying to jump back into my grad school community of students and I had felt a weird tension between me and some subsets of people. Yesterday I was told that the people she is friends with say that I am “unsafe to be around” and that I “blew up at her.” This hurts for a number of reasons. All I did was say that she hurt me by not communicating. I was vulnerable and I feel like I’m getting ostracized and dismissed as a nut case. I never ever spoke ill of her to this community. I kept my opinions to myself and tried to move on. Add on the harm ocd/real events ocd/ relationship ocd and I truly feel at my lowest. There’s certainly times where I have let my emotions and ocd dictate my reactions to situations like this in the past, but from the beginning of this one I made it a point to notice what was coming up and calmly respond with action based in my values. I am super proud of how I handled it and stood up for myself. Idk I’m human and I understand that everyone is entitled to their thoughts and feeling but this just feels messed up and disrespectful. Trying to get this out here because it’s hard to talk about rn
