It’s as simple as that. That’s why they take things down and overly restrict or remove posts and honestly I think it’s ruining Reddi and it hardly helps with bots like they claim it does.

It messes with my brain but I’ve learn that most therapist and psychiatrist don’t rlly even know anything about ocd.. and will shun you especially if you are a woman. I’ve had bad ocd that I’ve had to learn to manage on my own as an adult. Someone on here, Reddit tried to tell me on the bases that they date a psychiatrist 🙄 that I don’t have it, and you know how this disease works. I have to constantly think that I’m faking it….

As a child,14, I had a very very huge episode with ocd it took away my happiness… I was washing the hell out of my hands , turning lights off and on, walking in and out of doors, checking obsessively on those I love cus I was convinced they’d die in their sleep if I didn’t. I was also having trouble sleeping, the intrusive thoughts were debilitating, I went from a teen who loved to draw to one who would sit there pencil in hand afraid to move it “ wrong” because it didn’t feel right. I had to blast music in my ears to get over the uncontrolled horror that was/is my mind. But people online will sit there having never gone through any of this and tell me I don’t have it, and therapist will refuse to “label “ it. I have had to study this disease to get to where I am now mentally and ofc it’s still not perfect but still. Anyone else? What’s your experience? I’ve experienced this and more in with ocd, at one point it even caused me physical pain. And at one point I had to sit on my hands to stop from doing compulsions…

I just can’t do it and if I hold off at alllll I binge the three days leading up to my period . I feel so so so hungry if I don’t give in it feels like suffering and not only do I feel psychotic mentally but physically feel as though I am being compelled to eat…. It makes me very very upset. I feel as tho u might have lost more if not for my lead up to period week.

The last time I argued with my father he snatched my phone(I was 25 btw) saying he had the right because he bought it ofc and he made an attempt to also take my tv that I bought and when I took it back he had raised his fist to me but didn’t hit me and he also threatened to “spank me like a little girl”. he also tried to take my sister(19 at the time) computer ( which she was using for school) and told me I had 6 months ( this was about a year ago)to leave as a threat but then later ofc told me that we could stay with him as long he lived…… all of this was because I had ignored his nagging at me and my sister to clean up after we cooked. I always clean up after I cook and had told him thousands of times he didn’t need to harass me about it but he didn’t listen ofc. He and my mother are extremely obsessive and controlling of every aspect of what we do in “their” space and no matter how much I clean it is always somehow
My fault, while mind you both my parents are messier than me. But yea what did you do?

Everytime I would try I would be heavily criticized or told to stop. “You’re not a white girl.” Said my mother to me when I simply waded and put my curls in a ponytail…. It ALWAYS had to be her who did my hair and when she finish she’d say “your hair looks so good the person who did it must really love you.” When just before this she had likely just criticized every opinion I had and disrespected/disregarded every part of me in anyways she could… it was only a compliment to herself and an attempt to make me feel grateful

I am in a very rough situation trying to escape abuse and it’s been technology that has helped me most. Even hotlines made for this exact situation have passed me along again and again and again, or even hung up or judged me…. Losing faith in people tbh

I’m so fucking pissed that I ended up with such a vile being as my mother. Yet she is the one that pretends I was evil form the start, she is the one that assumed I was trying to harm her as soon as I was unwillingly brought into this her BY HER. She looks at me as though I am the devil while she has abused me my entire life and I am defending myself from HER. She tells me that all I care about is torturing her and those around me, while she has tortured me my entire life.
