the worst feeling is that no one in my life truly can comprehend how i feel and when i explain what i’m feeling it feels pointless to do so i try to not have that mindset but people that don’t have mental illness can never fully understand how it affects me if i lay it all out to people suddenly i’m a “downer” “over dramatic” or i’m just treated like a freak i don’t know a single other person close in my life that has ocd i wish there was a way to connect to people that have ocd in real life
