I told my mom about my ocd

I’m sorry you’re being gaslit by your mother and telling you to pray it away. I hope you have others who can support you better.

Sorry this happened:( I wouldn't really waste my time and energy to convince her, some people just don't get it, try to not get too upset about it If it matters to you a lot you can maybe try and educate her on this topic, through articles and stuff I had a similar experience, my mother literally said herself that I struggled with bad intrusive thoughts since I was 4 and it was a big problem, but when I told her I have ocd she started denying it, then started saying that even if I have if ocd is not a big deal (even though I confessed that I planned to off myself because of it), then accused me of subconsciously creating myself problems because I don't want to be good at school and other stuff lol I juts kinda stopped giving a fuck about what she think, but that might not be the best case for everyone of course

All I can say is be careful sharing ocd with people who do not understand it. I would Share with my mom and she told me the same thing. I now know it’s OCD but having her say that beforehand just made it worse

I hate that for you. I had a similar experience. I just told my mom today and how OCD was linked to different events that she was apart of. She kept bringing up counter arguments that didn't align with what I would say and it made me super anxious because she was digging for answers for every scenario that I didn't have certainty for. She also did not understand Homosexuality OCD. I also only put out feelers for what my OCD is like leaving out more extreme examples, and I don't think she's going to know any deeper than the feelers. Unfortunately, I'm finding that a lot of my OCD is coming from or exacerbated by unhealthy family dynamics.
