Hi, I am struggling at the moment with my OCD and anxiety, it always gets worse when I’m going through trauma and I’ve had a really hard time lately. But my main problem is that I’m unable to talk to my mum about it whatsoever, she just gets angry at me when I try to explain it to her because it frustrates her. She doesn’t get that it’s something that I can’t control, and her head I just do nothing about it. I’ve been in and out of counselling for years but OCD never really goes away, it just gets better or worse depending on your circumstances. And my mum doesn’t seem to understand that. I get that it’s hard for her because I become very angry and frustrated because I’m exhausted from the constant battle that is OCD, and sometimes I feel that my mum triggers it, or mocks it, knowing that it’s something i struggle with. But I think she just sees it as something stupid and silly that I need to suck up. I wish there was a way of trying to communicate this all to her but every time I try she tells me that she doesn’t want to understand it, and just tells me to talk to my counsellor. Does anyone have any advice on what I could do? Thank you.
