Hi everyone, I havenāt been on here in ages lol. I hope everyoneās doing okay š«¶š¾. Just a little update on how Iām doing. The therapist/tutor I used to have on a certain day a long while ago doesnāt take me out of lessons anymore. I remember we had a final session where she asked if the sessions helped and if I wanted them to continue. I said they really did help, and she said sheād look into it, though it might not be her. After that, I never got another therapist/tutor, which was kind of strange. But that was a while ago now.
I also had a really close online friend who I talked to every single day, no matter what. We had such a strong connection (at least in my opinion). Sadly, she canāt talk to me anymore because of her strict parents, and we havenāt spoken in over a month now. It really hurts, and I miss her a lot. I just hope sheās doing okay :(
I know this rant isnāt really about OCD, but I just wanted to get it out. My OCD is still there, but I can cope with it a bit better now. For example, when Iām watching TikToks, my mind tells me to read loads of comments exactly and check how many likes they have. Itās so annoying, especially doing that every scroll š«©. I donāt want to do it, but my mindās like, āDo it or youāll regret it later.ā Even when Iām getting changed for school, I have to make sure all my clothes are perfectly placed in my wardrobe before I leave the room. Sometimes when an OCD thought comes in, I tell myself, āIgnore it, whatās actually going to happen if you donāt read that comment?ā
I havenāt really opened up about this, but I had a really close best friend back in Year 7 and 8. Iām in Year 10 now, and I still randomly think about her and how much sheās changed. Seeing her around school is really awkward now, itās like we were never close, even though we were. We just pass each other in the corridors. One day I told her sheād changed a lot and barely texted me anymore (and i thought this relationship isn't really going as well as it used too). She just laughed. Weāre not enemies or friends now, and I donāt think thereās any hate, but I honestly donāt know. I think my problem is that I canāt move on. No matter what I do, I just canāt.
Now I miss my online best friend who felt like a sister to me, and I lost one of my closest friends a long time ago too. If youāve read all of this, thank you so much for reading until the end. Even if you havenāt, you still mean so much to me, and I love you all deeply. Please stay safe and try to stay strong and resilient when things arenāt going your way.
I still get thoughts about the past and feel emotional sometimes, and you can probably see it on my face. Iām really quiet in real life, and I struggle to keep conversations going, if I even start one, it usually lasts two minutes and feels awkward. Sorry for ranting so much, and you probably didnāt read all of this lol. I probably wonāt use the app much, but Iāll check in every now and then. I only remembered it because of a random TikTok. I hope everyone who helped me on here in the past is doing really well.
See you everyone. :)
