I feel like I am making everyone around me miserable because of my OCD. I just want to be normal.

You are most certainly not! Your ocd says that but it’s far, far from the truth! Try to just let these thoughts breeze through your mind, breath, and tell yourself it’s ok and that it’s only ocd. You are strong, you can do it!

I feel that too :(

And so do I

Ditto, and how’d you like to be going on 60 and it hits you, all my life I’ve been the strong in, handle everything, now I feel I can’t handle my own self…

Same here. My mom and husband are telling me to grow up like I’m suppose to just grow out of it and it’s ridiculous.

My dad can’t handle it and my parents told me today that if I acted like this at work I would be fired, but it’s not like I want to be this way.

@Kejonida Exactly. I would give anything not to be this way. Sometimes I wish they could be in our shoes for a day just to see what we have to deal with.

Who cares if they are miserable? There happiness is not your job. Focus on your recovery. They can focus on themselves.
