Yeah. My parents, brother, boyfriend and close friends know what I’m going through. As hard as it is to tell someone, it’s comforting to have people in your corner that know what you’re going through. Hang in there, your mom is just beginning to understand this world!

Thanks anna, i’ve consider everything you wrote. I’ll just have to try things in order to know what feels best for me. I wish this things would be more “natural” to talk about and that we could feel safe talking about it freely

in general im not ashamed of my anxiety, but i have found it extra tricky to explain ocd in particular, because if you dont explain it right some people may think you actually are what you fear yourself. i have a shit ton of suicidal intrusive thoughts and the existential ones too that pops up and takes away my cheerful way of being, and if i dont explain it right, people could actually end up thinking im very depressed and is considerinh suicide. but ive learned when explaininh this to other people, they understand when you say it because you look so broken and frustrated when sayinh it

i think ive told almost everyone i know. im not one to keep my feelings a secret. hell, three years ago i was in a little youtibe series where someone tried to cure my emetophobia. its not bad tellinh people, rather, i think its nice to get support. my only regret is that it gives ocd a big front seat space in my life. my mom actually adviced me to keep it a secret when i start at a new school in a couple of months, because that way i can write ocd and anxiety out of my life, if i dont let it exist in my friendships/relationships.

Hi I kept seeing this app on repeat on TikTok over and over and I thought I give it a shot. I have never been diagnosed with OCD but I know that I have it. I’m a young adult and I found out the first time I had OCD was watching lelelons truth video? I was 14 at the time She had to resist sitting back down in a chair after her having sat down she started having a mental break down when she was told to resist. That’s when I knew. It started with myself going up and down a staircase twice buckling unbuckling my seat belt everytime I’m in the car ect I have always been super anti social but trying my best I can socialize but my mind wants to make it sexual with family and friends ughhhh I hate it because that’s not me when I graduated thoughts of hurting my loved ones corrupted my mind I broke down outside of church one time asking if this was really me or not i question if I’m a good enough friend or person in this world to begin with thinking everyone is judging me so so close how can I make this situation better did I do something wrong I struggle with depression as well not to bad but it’s there I come from a loving family but broken as well i believe in god and my OCD makes me go often he’s not real that stuff isn’t real no one is there to save you the list goes on. Anyway I struggle a lot and I really hope that this will help me because I feel extremely hopeless. Lucky for me I do have the ability to seek therapy and I am excited. The only person I ever tell my thoughts to is God no other human has heard so I’m really really hoping this helps me out if your reading this thank you it means a lot because this is my first time ever admitting all this it’s a lot to take in I know and I hope you are ok and that you have a great night and know that we got this

Hey friends, I hope you all are well. I just wanted to check in and ask people's experiences about being on medication. I have had OCD pretty much my whole life, just got recently diagnosed 4 months ago and my therapist recommended that I get on meds for it so I have a psychiatrist appointment set up. I'm a little apprehensive about getting on them, but I've realized that I do have some sort of chemical imbalance in my brain that plays a part in my OCD and anxiety. I would love to hear anyones experiences or words of encouragement. Thank you, I hope you all are well.

Told my close friend about how I think I have harm ocd and showed a video describing her experience with it so I wouldn’t have to share mine. Told him how when I see the number 22 I get paranoid that I’ll harm someone, and he gave me advice to go to a psychiatrist then left me on read after we were having a conversation prior. I’m so scared to open up to people about it and now I don’t think I will again.
