So, the anxiety is not you. Nor is it your fault. The same is true for OCD. It may be difficult for your friends to understand what you're going through, but it also sounds like they're not trying very hard. Life is more difficult when you have a psychological disorder - it's like having any other medical condition, and it takes time to learn how to handle it properly. If you're doing what you can right now to figure out how to live, then you're doing all that you can do.

I realize this is a sensitive question...so feel no pressure to answer...but in what ways does it ruin your friendships? Are your friends not understanding, or does OCD keep you from spending time with them?

I had this happen recently. I only got diagnosed last month, so before I had suspicion but I wasn’t sure. My friend was gross, like his room was dirty with stains and dirt inside and so was the inside of his car. And this triggered my contamination OCD a lot, but I was too judgmental making insensitive comments about him and his home. I should’ve been kinder and have not said anything, I know he should be cleaner, but there was never a need for me to be passive aggressive and insensitive about it. He was a really good friend, but I was an idiot. But yeah, OCD has ruined a lot of things for me, including friendships

I can't stop thinking about ending my life. I feel like I'm not even living, I'm just surviving. Everyone is capable of being a person and functioning and I'm just stuck here avoiding everything. My psychiatrist said my ocd is severe and it will all take time and I'll start erp and I'm already on medication but I just feel so depressed and like I won't be able to handle erp and it's already too late for me. I feel inhuman, it's debilitating. My major theme is just fear or contamination, I can't even make myself a meal I can't touch anything in the kitchen. I get stuck in the shower for 2 hours and when I don't shower because I'm depressed I feel like a walking germ. My hands are a mess, my school work is shit, I avoid and avoid and I'm just so tired of "living" like this. My psychiatrist said they don't have any therapists available right now like.... excuse me? What do you mean u don't have any 😭 I honestly don't even know why I'm typing this becuase nothing helps, nothing ever will. I'm so deep into this I can't get out, my room looks like shit, I can't live in this body anymore, I really can't. I let everyone down, I am and will be such a dissapointment. I don't have any dreams or goals or passions I just wasn't made to be here. I don't know how or who to ask for help like there's nothing anyone can do, I'm already on meds. I can't keep being like this, seeing everyone judge me for acting insane.

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.
