I’ve had ocd ever since I was young. My mother told me that when I was 3 I went straight into a deep pool. My mother jumped in and saved my life. It could have been over there.

My life is basically ocd. I’m constantly living with obsessive thoughts. Through determination I’ve managed to reduce the thoughts, but it’s still too much. Tried various medications without luck. Yet my parents think I’m fine. I wish there was a pill that Eliminated all obsessions.

Just writing this to say it’s not your fault and you’re not alone. Parents are selfish for bringing people into existence. They don’t know how their kid is gonna turn out, but think they will be just as perfect as them.
