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’ve been dealing with ocd and anxiety since I was a kid, but these recent years have been the worst it’s ever been. It’s hard to communicate with people about your mental health so I’ve been self isolating by accident lol, my social anxiety is terrible and it’s extremely stressful for me to hangout with people and my friends don’t seem to really understand even when I try my best to explain. They notice I don’t hangout as much but to them it’s “me being weird “ or “ a fake friend” I don’t know what to do and it’s frustrating

I ruin every single relationship that I'm in with my OCD I admit every single thing I do even when it really isn't a big deal ,if I don't admit I feel unbearable anxiety and I don't know what to do about it , I'm always on edge worried I've done something wrong always searching my mind and actions for a slip up it's exhausting I keep spiralling wondering if I will ever actually be with someone and be able to have a happy and healthy relationship Please tell me I'm not alone I don't know what else to do

My best friend hasn’t spoken to me in months. It triggered some symptoms that I now realize fall along the lines of ROCD. It’s making me behave in a way that chased my other friends away. I’m feeling very hopeless and guilty.
