IT hurs me to see her like this upset because of my OCD i keep telling her im fine and ill b ok let me deal with it and ket me do my ritiual but nothing works i need my stuff i need my rituals. am i crazy?
U R definitely not crazy sweety! I have severe OCD too. Your brain is just stuck. It won't move on. It's called brainlock.
I have a good book called just that "brainlock" I think you might find helpful.
R u seeing a therapist for cbt because they can help a whole lot with behavioural ocd. You would be surprised! It sounds like cbt would work well for your type of ocd. I have both nasty intrusive thoughts and behavioral and I have had it for 30 years so it is a bit harder for me.
Don't lose hope love, there is help out there. R u on medication also, because antiobsessional meds are great!!
Please keep hoping and look for a cognitive therapist.
Let us know how you are getting on.
Everybody on this site are soooo wonderful and caring and know exactly how your feeling and what you r going through! You r definitely NOT alone!!!
