Im sorry that your family is being difficult! I understand how hard it is to feel invalidated around family because they simply don’t understand why we go through the things we go through because they dont suffer from OCD. Youre feelings matter and dont let anyone or anything tell you other wise! Hope you have a good rest of your day

Set boundaries with your family. People often joke and share opinions because they don’t know what else to do, they may feel helpless. Why do you feel disgusting?

Haha, I wish I could set boundaries, those things don't exist in a "dictatorship" 😅 I just feel disgusting because of some thoughts that may have contained se><ual content and I just don't feel clean in general (even though I am)

@🌺Dem🌺 I get it. But you need to start living for you and nobody else. There is nothing wrong with sticking up for yourself. They don’t have to like it. And there’s also nothing wrong with having sexual thoughts. So many people experience that.

@Anonymous I try to but every time I do I am either belittled, treated like trash or accuse me of disrespecting them and treating them like trash, or things start getting taken from me or randomly come up missing. I do understand your point, if it was an option, I would totally set some boundaries. And thank you, you're a good person :)

@🌺Dem🌺 Abusive enough to report to CPS? Can you do family therapy?

@Anonymous They aren't physically abusive in any way, they are just toxic and I know I can't change them or make them understand, they say things but I have been through way worse. Any type of therapy isn't an option, they don't completely accept the fact that I have a mental illness and stuff, they don't want their image looking bad. I promise, I don't have too long to wait anyway, I will be okay :)

Hey:) I just want to vent
I’m feeling kind of sad cause today was not a really good day in terms of my ocd. I was feeling kind of foggy/numb and that send me to spiraling. I’m 21 years old currently studying but my family has been having trouble with money for the last couple years(we’re just me and my mom) and I kinda want to get a job but everything is far from my home and I wouldn’t be able to return back at night, also it’s either way more expensive to move or the schedule wouldn’t let me take my classes. The point is that because of that every time my mom is stress tends to treat me bad, she speaks to me like I’m stupid or she just screams to nothing cursing all life and everything and that actually makes me feel soo bad and guilty for not doing anything, I know it’s hard for me to get a job that actually helps us without quitting school but that doesn’t stop me from feeling like I’m a burden. I want to help, I want to maybe hug her or something but I know she will be angrier and probably will reject it. So that’s it, I just feel like she punishes me for the stress she’s carrying and I get it but one day is happy and it feels like all love and the next is treating me like that, Idk it’s hard (also I feel like I shouldn’t be saying this cause it’s all my fault) 🫤

idk
I feel like I’ll never lead a normal life again with OCD, my thoughts have begun to be convince especially about POCD. I feel like so sad and down that this will be my life forever. I’ll never get to fall in love again without intrusive thoughts. I’ll never be worth falling in love with. I can never be intimate again. I’m just done, my life is over. I can’t even look at my nephew and niece anymore without the smile fading. It feels like I’m so nasty and then my brain convinces me this is how I feel. That there’s some part of me that is a p*do and that’s it. I’m a disgusting human being for that. I just feel hopeless

I can't do this anymore
I can't live with OCD anymore. It's ruining my life. I feel like I'm being constantly bullied in my own mind all day everyday. I don't know if what I think and feel is ever real or normal or okay, what is me and what is the OCD thoughts. I don't know if any of my experiences are normal. I'm exhausted from picking apart every single conversation I ever have with anyone until I'm strung out by a vague and ambiguous feeling of guilt. I'm tired of feeling like I'm a bad person and feeling scared all the time and not knowing why and having my brain spin me out on an endless spiralling train of thoughts that never goes anywhere and just makes me feel disconnected from everything and everyone around me. I don't know what I feel and if what I feel is normal or if anything I am doing is real and actually me or if I'm 'losing my mind.' I don't even know if this makes any sense. I get into these states of mind where every thought in my head and everything I feel and perceive makes me question my own sanity. I don't know if anyone likes me because I have absolutely no concept of what I am actually like. I feel completely lost and confused CONSTANTLY.
