Hi Sammi honey,

Sorry to hear you're having such a difficult time at the moment. I have often felt like running myself but like Trace said, you can never run from yourself - you'll still have the horrible thoughts wherever you go.

Maybe you could take a look at a site such as Rethink or Mind (if you type them in to google) and see if they have got booklets which you could give to your Dad. I think its often very difficult for family members to understand what you are going through but certanly on Rethink they have lots of articles on what it's like to live with a mental health problem.

If you want to chat you can PM me or add me to MSN, I'd be happy to talk with you. Please take care, you are a very special person & you can get through these difficult times - it's just especially hard for you right now.

Obviously your dad doesn't understand how hard it is for you...as others have suggested it might be a smart move to try and educate him. Could someone from your mental health team maybe have a word with him? Is it CAMHS? cos they have quite a few helpful leaflets etc for parents. Anyway, take care sweetheart. I'm always here if you need someone to talk to (: x

your dad was a bit out of line. Some people just don't understand things! My mums like that too with my OCD.

You can be strong Sammi, don't run away from things, stick with it.

*cudles you*

hun, your dad is so worried for you more than anything. He loves you & is hurting because hes so scared of what your doing to yourself, he doesnt know how to express his fears for your safety, so he gets angry & shouts.

Please try not to take it to heart,

love you so much
