Totally get it, we often get those feelings when we care too much about our loved ones and their wellbeing, there’s absolutely nothing wrong in that. We need to understand that we often cannot control how we feel especially when OCD stands in the way, feelings due to OCD are just largely automatic, and they come and go without we willingly having control over them, understanding that feelings and thoughts are not always rational, and feelings are not “facts” can help a bit to keep things in perspective in the long run, hope it helps somewhat!
@UH52 But why do i get so saaad without knowing why.. and always when i should be happy around my loved ones
@Strugglezz Yeah I can definitely relate too, mostly it might be because we care for their wellbeing too much, like for me personally getting to a point having severe separation anxieties when my loved ones go out, so for you also maybe it might be due to the immense care and love we have towards them, so we might get consumed in the moment we are with them thus indirectly paving way for OCD thoughts to flood in!
I’ve been feeling the same lately. Pretty sure its depression. I’ve never had lows like I’ve recently experienced. You’re not alone . Hope you feel better soon
I feel super sad and depressed i'm tired of feeling so scared it's really changing me. My mom is a pretty difficult person she's a borderline narcissist. Over the years our relationship has changed a lot and recently i've been pretty hard on her because i feel so angry that she's not able to support me mentally in the ways that i need. I see now that she's mentally ill herself and i should be nicer and more understanding. she doesn't know better and she's trying her best. she was just a girl once and i feel bad that i said she lacks a motherly instinct. i love her a lot and i love seeing her laugh and be herself. she's super beautiful and unique and she deserved so much more out of life. I think my ocd makes me super angry towards the people in my life because i know i deserve the love i give. I would be so willing to have a really deep loving conversation with the people close to me yet i get such surface level support.
I usually would say I’ve never been depressed , but recently in my life since my anxiety/ocd has been so bad and having relationship problems I’m feeling kinda sad / stressed. I keep getting scared of being depressed I keep having intrusive thoughts of “ you’d would be better off if you weren’t living” “ I don’t wanna live if it’s like this” and it’s just scaring me 😞
Help please? I just feel idk..help ..
