my ocd revolves around social anxiety so i compulsively post online to try to control others perception of me, I also compulsively over share and try to let people know I’m self aware of being mentally ill or “crazy” and today my bf messaged me to tell me i’m being unhinged and embarrassing and I want to throw up and cry lol

i’m sorry he said that to you:( i know how difficult it can be to go through social anxiety. maybe lower the amount of post you are posting to calm things down a little bit because you should be doing things for yourself and not other people. it doesn’t matter what other people think about you, you need to be kind to yourself and realize that not everything is perfect about anyone. also if you don’t mind me asking, why do you feel like you should tell people that you are self aware/mentally ill? i bet you are an amazing person and i want you to say kind things about yourself:)
