Serious question: I am attending therapy because of the abusive relationship

And I happened to notice after the relationship dissolved I do things like sweep the entire house and mop the entire house everyday

I freak out when the house gets disorderly and can’t do anything or function

I’m stressed as fvvk about the laundry not being done

It’s getting borderline compulsive

When I was a child I used to struggle with ocd and I would obsessively turn off switches and click my fingers and stuff. Idk but I’m afraid it’s creeping back

Now that I stopped biting my nails I find myself putting that “nervous” energy in other places

I just don’t really know if cleaning is a problem worth mentioning.

What are your (honest) thoughts? I know there’s a lot of women on this site who have been in abusive relationships. You women never seem to comment tho .. I’m more less specifically asking YOU. The ones who have been through it and survived. Tell me about the pain and suffering after. Nobody talks about it. I feel so alone

I’m genuinely sorry for being so whiney lately this is my only outlet other than therapy that I have. I have never been able to “do” “handle” “process” emotions.

I had the OCD as a kid really bad too. I know you are going through stressful stuff lately. You can message me any time if you want to talk or vent or anything at all ❤️

@Nebula do you think it’s possible for ocd to creep back when someone is going through a lot mentally?

All of this stress has been affecting me physically. Like the past two weeks I notice when I get really worked up or upset I will get nauseous and throw up profusely

I had to call out of my sons therapy last week because of it ☹️ It was the day after the police and dcf showed up to my house at 10pm. It really is a lot

@DeluxedEdition yes for sure, it can be a way of feeling that you have control over something when everythjng else feels out if your control or too overwhelming.

Aww, Im so sorry, did they drop all that nonsense? Or are they keeping at it?

@Nebula dcf and the police don’t press charges or do anything except respond to the calls. They basically told me they understand the situation and what is going on but by law they have to respond to the calls.

They don’t stop calling. The dcf supervisor suggested I try to get in touch with the Florida state attorney and see if i can’t get somewhere

@DeluxedEdition they are probably letting ot get to the point where they can press charges on the people calling. Just try and relax and breathe. Ive taken 8 years to feel healed from my last relationship and Im still super sketchy about people
