Seeking OCD Support
Life is impossible. I can't do this anymore. I need help. Someone who understands OCD. Please.
Hi,
So I haven't been taking meds for a while, I'm terrible at keeping track, but it sits in the back of my mind that I know I need to go back to the doctor, I just can't bring myself to do it because the way people talk about OCD makes me feel like I need to stop being so selfish and deal with it. I've been trying, I was going to talk someone the other day about it but then something happened with them and it no longer felt important enough, but as soon as I am alone all the thoughts and feelings come rushing back, I feel like I have a mild form of OCD but to me it still feels like the biggest struggle of my life and I don't want to feel so out of control of it any more! I just need someone to tell me I'm not being selfish and stupid even though I feel selfish and stupid for even saying this

You're not stupid or selfish. I'm not saying that just to tell you what you want to hear. I know that for a fact because most people just dont understand OCD. I've been there. It's okay to try and take care of yourself. It's okay to want to be free of all the torment. They just don't understand that you are doing your best. That's all you can do. Ignore the insults from people. They just don't understand. And that's their problem. They need to educate themselves and learn that a little empathy isn't going to kill anyone. If you want to, you can try to educate them. But don't let someone else's ignorance make you believe the lie that you are less valuable, not intelligent, or self centered when you aren't.
