well i try to be positive and try to do what i can to make my life better..having ocd, everyday things that other people do can be a struggle or down right hell for us some days. in my family my father understands my anexity and ocd because it runs on his side of the family and he had it too. but trying to talk to him about it or get advice and help doesnt work. he says i make him nervous and stress him out so that seems like a dead end. my mother makes things absolutely IMPOSSIBLE for me. she will not take me to my theraoy apointments, she yells and complains about my conditon and how i handle it all the time. she even accuses me of making this all up to get attention or to get out of doing things. thanks to therapy i know i should just not listen and do the best i can on my own. but some days are so difficult to deal with and she only makes it worse. now i see alot of u on here are married or have signifigant others, i was wondering what kind of support if any are you receiving from family and friends? does anyone relate to having family or friends not understand what you are going through? its tough trying to deal with the ocd and anexity and staying positive seems impossible when your own mother is yelling at you and saying things that make you feel even worse. just wondering what advice anyone had....
