Just felt so attacked after spending a long time in the bathroom due to my contamination ocd. I took a long time but I'd assumed the rest of the family had all been to the toilet and gone to bed. I was almost done when 3 others came and started ranting about wanting to use the toilet which in turn caused me lots of anxiety and led to further ruminating. I just thought that I'm so considerate about others as I barely eat and drink to avoiding going toilet so others dont have to wait, but when they want to go they lack any sort of compassion for me and the excruciating mental pain I'm in. I really felt like crying but dont feel comfortable doing so in front of my family so I had to suck it up and take it. Any advice on how to recover when you have zero support?

Been there, with taking a long time in the bathroom. It’s really hard to have people mad at you when you’re in that fragile worried state. I don’t have advice, but sending support!
