My OCD Has Ruined my Health
TW// Eating Disorder, Sexual Abuse Mention
My OCD has completely ravaged my body. I'm so undernourished and sick all the time I don't know how much more my body can take. OCD has made me fear food and obsess over numbers, I can't eat anything if I don't know what is in it or how many calories it is. It's lead me to only be able to eat a handful of "safe foods" foods that I have convinced myself will not hurt me or make me gain weight. In my mind, being overweight is linked to the sexual abuse I suffered as a kid. If I'm overweight bad things are going to happen to me or my friends and family and that terrifies me. I feel as though the only way I can remedy it is to lose as much weight as possible, to be as far away from overweight as possible even if that means being dangerously underweight. I'm so tired of feeling this way, and I just want to feel less alone in this battle...
@Littletotoro22 I'm really sorry to hear that you're struggling with this. It sounds like this problem has many, many layers.
We are here if you need to talk through some of your struggles. I don't have an obsession with food and numbers, but OCD has absolutely demolished other areas of my life. I understand how frustrating is it to manage your obsessions.
Are you seeing a professional to help manage?
