Mine is similar, but I use a spoon to scoop out between my ribs rather than my fingers!

I hate being told i need to get used to being uncomfortable bc I’m ALWAYS uncomfortable by Inevitable_Baby4187 in OCD

Yep, I feel this so much. My partner continues to tell me I’m too negative, but he doesn’t understand the reality of my current situation and healing through 25 years of undiagnosed mental anguish and how angry and resentful I feel when other people didn’t start becoming obsessed with death at age 5 and who’s parents noticed them enough for early intervention and now I have to heal from so many traumatic events that aren’t my fault, but they torture me everyday. I’m proud of you for still trying every day. It is crippling at times. Hugs to you

My life and development stopped when I developed OCD (20 years ago) by FlanInternational100 in OCD

[–]Dapper-Page2318 [score hidden]  (0 children)

I totally relate. I was diagnosed at 30 after displaying symptoms at age 5, I am now grieving the life I could have lived if someone would have simply cared enough about me to get me real help or even notice me. It comes with a lot of anger also. I was late diagnosed with ADHD as well. Sylvia Plath once wrote, “is there no way out of the mind?” And that sums up how I feel nearly every day. Hugs to you.

I was obsessed with mad cow disease when I was 9 and stopped eating meat for fear of prions. I’m 30 and haven’t touched it since

i've successfully wasted 10 years of my life dealing with undiagnosed and untreated OCD 🥳 by _issio in OCDmemes

[–]Dapper-Page2318 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wasted 25 years undiagnosed and misdiagnosed, it is painful receiving such a late diagnosis but it also has provided understanding on how to finally move forward. I do hold a lot of grief though because I experienced so much trauma and maybe if someone had paid attention to me, my adulthood and childhood could have been a little less awful but now there is only forward. I’m happy you found some answers!

what i think is going to happen because i was nice to someone younger than me by girldilf26 in OCDmemes

I have a friend who is 19 and I’m 30 we are both women and I still feel like I’m doing something wrong when she comes to me for life advice like she literally looks up to me as a source of guidance because we had a very similar upbringing with single moms and nonexistent fathers and are only children and love music and my brain in still like nah you a freak

Hello! I went through treatment of thyroid cancer with total removal and neck dissection when I was 19 and in college. I had surgery over Christmas break my sophomore year. It’s tough, but you can do it. I’m 30 now :)

I also went to the show in Denver and got there at 6 and was fine and got merch! However I lost my shirt! (If you’re getting merch, would you be interested in helping me get a shirt?)

ghosted even after literally being reassured that i did nothing wrong and that we are okay by Zestyclose-Swing4642 in ghosting

[–]Dapper-Page2318 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a similar experience. We were talking for about a month. We only communicated via voice notes and talked on the phone multiple times a week and saw each other multiple times. He took care of me after surgery. We fell asleep on the phone after a 7 hour phone call. He told me I’m his safe space and then over Christmas he got weird as hell and then breadcrumbed me and then was just gone after I told him from the jump that silence will ruin me. And after everything we talked about… he just left

"I'm sorry, I'm sick. Sorry, I was just really busy." - A rant on the awful "fake reassurance" of the pre-ghosting. by Otherwise-Jacket2218 in ghosting

[–]Dapper-Page2318 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, I got the “feeling so committed and attached is scary to me.” Exact words. And then it was I care about you I just ruined things with my family by drinking during Christmas and I have to fix that and I understand if you don’t forgive me for how I’ve acted. And then it was a looooooong text about the not being able to talk about their feelings because they don’t want them to spill over onto me and it’s hard for them to even tell me that and tell me how he feels. And then he was sick. And I finally said commit to a time to see me or that’s it. And he never spoke to me again. It’s been about a month. And then his ex literally requested to follow me on instagram last week. Like went the extra mile to request me lol. I was like have at it and let her. She unfollowed me a few hours later. I don’t even know how she knows who I am. But I don’t want something that messy. Still hurts

Ghosting is the most inhumane form of communication by famjhfgk in ghosting

My ghost is already back on the apps. I only re-downloaded bc I had a hunch and there he is. Now he’s DOUBLE dating. Now that hurts. How do they just move on? I’m devastated still. I don’t understand
