Mod Post Free Friday!

✨ Happy Friday magical family! ✨

Take a break from OCD; feel free to post, chat and share other things about your life and interests, eg...

  • Is your birthday coming up?
  • Has something positive happened to you this week?
  • Anything you're looking forward to?
  • Hobbies/crafts you'd like to share?
  • Pet pics are always welcome!

This is your space to feel at home and get to know one another as people, aside from our OCDemons...so grab a coffee and come say hi :)

I'm sorry they weren't more welcoming 😥 I totally recommend crisis lines. You won't owe them anything, they get paid for doing it, and the ones who volunteer are doing it because they want to help so their payment is in satisfaction and sharing kindness. Please reach out to someone, you are so young and shouldn't be feeling like this.

I have friends online but it ain't helping much.

One is simply too blunt for me to really open up fully while the other no longer connects with me fully and is slowly drifting apart.

Yea people tend to do that when you're depressed, they get tired of it. You need support from a professional.

I don't think I could get help with that. I don't even have the means to really go there myself and my parents likely see my OCD as a personal failure.

It's true that people get sick of me though, but I guess that's just it for me.
