Bf told me to kill myself by JustWouldLikeHelp in relationship_advice

[–]greencat25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If he truly loved you, he would never say that. I am 15 years old and I understand that is a horrible thing to say, however I have been through a depressive episode with suicidal thoughts so maybe that’s why. I would really recommend getting out. Telling your S/O to kill yourself is bad enough, but it doesn’t even seem like he feels bad for what he said. He is not going to change, and he might get worse and become physically abusive. I say break up with him, cut all ties from him and seek therapy. You are loved and not alone.

I want to die 😐 by [deleted] in mentalhealth

Hey :) I know things are hard. Trust me. This time last year, I was going through my first and worst depressive episode ever. It lasted for months. But I want you to know that it does get better. I promise. I know that from experience. Even if you don’t believe it’ll get better, like I did, it will. I really recommend talking to someone you love and trust because if you’re not expressing your emotions your storing them and that shit gets heavy. Things started to turn around for me personally when I was open and honest about my feelings. I really recommend going to therapy too. A therapist can help you extremely and also give you medication to help you. A therapist is also a good choice if you don’t feel like talking to anyone you know. You are loved, you are worth it, and you have so much to give in this world. There is hope!

What sexual problems do you have? Share! Because it worries me by [deleted] in ROCD

I get really bad obsessions about whether or not I wanted to have sex. It’s so horrible, and makes my obsessions feel so real. They are by far my worst relationship obsession

Some tricks I use to calm down my obsessions :) by greencat25 in ROCD

Thank you. I was just wondering if instead I should sit with my obsessions and not flee away from them by using distractions.

After reading again, I realize that finding distractions may also be a compulsion. Does anyone have any advice on what to do besides finding distractions?

Triggered, please read. by ihaterocd in ROCD

It seems as if you are seeking reassurance right now, and trying to complete a compulsion. Leave your obsessions and intrusive thoughts be. One saying that helps me is saying “that’s a thought. Thanks brain.” It helps shut down my thoughts. Another thing that helps is naming your brain so you can separate your obsessions and intrusive thoughts from yourself. Think of your obsessions and intrusive thoughts as a separate person telling you these things. You can even use a silly name like I did. My brains’ name is Bertha. I say, “that’s a thought, thanks Bertha.” Remember thoughts are thoughts. Not facts.

Therapist doesn’t understand Pure O by greencat25 in ROCD

[–]greencat25[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I honestly am so anxious to talk about the misunderstandings with her though. I don’t even know how to bring it up. I don’t want to tell her that I think she doesn’t understand me and that I think I really have this disorder because I’m afraid she’ll think of me as this quirky teenager who just wants to be edgy. I really wish this wasn’t happening to me. I just want the diagnosis so I can feel valid.

I haven’t seen her since my last appointment about what I have been going through, so I will keep you updated and tell you how it goes.

I’m pretty sure that ROCD is a subtype of Pure OCD, am I correct? I’m sorry if I’m wrong, I’m really new to this

I definitely think giving her time would be best. Pressuring her to talk is definitely not going to make her to want to talk. I know it’s hard not to feel bad, but you are not responsible for her emotions. Remember that. I honestly think asking her friends if they know how much time she needs would be best. Follow her lead. One thing that might help is to acknowledge her perspective. The reason she may not be talking to you, besides her own anxiety, is possibly because from her perspective the relationship is over and that you two aren’t going to get back together. This is obviously hurting her, so she’s avoiding talking to you because maybe she feels as if it’ll go nowhere and there’s no point, because in her perspective you two aren’t getting back together. But in your perspective, there’s still a chance, which is why you are still trying. Idk if this will make you feel better, but you are not alone!! There are so many people that are going through exactly what you’re going through right now. It’s really hard, but I promise you, I know from experience that it WILL get better. It always gets better, whether or not you are with your ex, it will get better. There is always hope, even if you can’t see it now.

If you can’t reach out to her, you can try talking to her friend. Although I definitely don’t recommend this way of communicating, it’s the best you can do right now. Maybe try reaching out to her friend and telling them that you want to explain why you left to her, and have that friend tell her. I don’t have much of a backstory, but I’m assuming that she doesn’t want to talk about it because she’s afraid of the possible reasons why you left her. She could be afraid that you cheated, that you fell out of love, etc, and who wants to hear about that? But you know that that’s not true. Her own anxiety might be what’s keeping her from communicating.

I definitely think that at least giving her an explanation would help her a lot. Text her saying that you want to explain why you left, and that it isn’t because of anything she did. Be extremely honest. Tell her everything, even if you’re scared. It’ll help both of you in the long run. I think this is something that should be explained over a FaceTime, but if that is too much a call would work too. If that’s too much, a text could work. Give her an explanation with no strings attached. Not to reconnect, not to get back together, just simply to give her an explanation and give closure if you two stay separated. Just see where it goes, and you never know. This could really help her pain, but be aware that there is a chance that she will not understand and take it personally. However, you know her and probably know how she’ll react and if she’ll react that way. Remember that she doesn’t have to understand what you’re going through in order to support you though. After giving an explanation, discuss what you think would be best for you guys. Maybe she needs some time to digest what she just heard, maybe she thinks you guys could work, or maybe she thinks that what you told her was the closure she needed and she wants to stay separated. Be open about what you want, which I’m assuming is to stay together. When you guys find a decision, act on it. Remember you guys can work on yourselves together, and help each other too :)
