Your conversations do so much for normalizing these issues and helping those who struggle feel understood. Thank you! ♥️

This was really interesting! I work in a homeless shelter so I’m surrounded by people who are still living their experiences. A colleague said something like staff are good at their job because “we have been there”. I told her that I don’t have that “lived experience” but I’m still very good at what I do. When you spoke of being a supportive friend even though you have different issues yet both can be good at being supportive. I can be empathetic and supportive towards a addict or alcoholic without having to have been either. It means I don’t worry or work at not being “triggered”. It also means I have to be very mindful that my coworkers can become upset/annoyed by casual conversations. Thanks…I’d like to know more about OCD because like you I think it is overused and used flippantly without knowledge of what it is. I had a friend who described her husband and daughter’s OCD but it seems it is so much more than being overly persistent at a futile something.

What's frustrating for me is I struggle with OCD anxiety and every therapist I go to wants to prescribe meds. I want to learn behavioral therapies and coping strategies. I just want to have conversations with clinicians. I don't want to mess with my brain chemistry with pharmaceuticals. Some people need them for sure, but it's disheartening when clinicians want me to go straight to pills. It also feels like they're going off a list of symptoms straight from the dsm 5 and plugging in the given treatments. Clinicians have so many patients I feel like they're pushing me out of the office so they can get through everyone.

I resonate with Allison's first comment on OCD but with my psychosis. My brain just takes over but in such a way that I don't notice how much until it's too late. That person looked away when they complimented me so they must not mean it. They must really being trying to to tell me they hate me. They must hate me so much they want to make me feel bad. They must hate me so much they want others to hate me, too. They must be plotting to discredit me so everyone will hate me. They will go to any length to make me look bad. They will talk about me behind my back. They will plot against me. They will try to destroy me. It feels like I'm solving a puzzle so I'm tricked into giving it more weight until it becomes an unshakable belief. And that person is forever ruined for me. Never will I trust them in any capacity. I also kept my beliefs and experiences a secret because of the fear that They would get angry and punish me. I was also afraid that the revelations would stop if I angered Them.
