my appointment with the psychiatrist is months away and still need to confirm everything but after talking with my therapist last night I just feel even more scared. Like scared I'm not going to provide enough info and then she'll tell me that nothing is wrong then all of this is for nothing. Of course, id love for there to be nothing wrong with me and to feel none of these things that have been bothering for so long. But the fear of being told that there isn't when its causing so much worry... it's making me really anxious. But it also makes me feel guilty because I feel like I'm just looking for attention or making something out of nothing. Even though I know very well it isn't nothing. I know that people sometimes take years or even decades to get help or get a diagnosis that actually fits what they've experiencing and im scared of that too.
(21+ ONLY: TRIGGER WARNING) I have therapy today and Iām nervous. I just started going to therapy and I really like my therapist. She talked to me about doing ERP and Iām really nervous about it. Iām scared to tell her the extent of my OCD, and my themes. Iām scared to tell her about my false memory OCD, because Iām scared that what I did was real and Iām just excusing it as false memory, although I have no memory of it. Iām scared that I am truly a monster and Iām using OCD as an excuseāand that sheāll find out and distance herself. Iām just scared that my whole world is gonna fall apart, all around me.
Hello! Brand new here after being diagnosed with ocd and realizing I have probably been struggling with it for 30+ years. :( I had my first therapy sessions last week. Has anyone else felt things didnāt go well with your therapist? I have been in therapy before for anxiety, but never felt judged before or so ashamed after therapy sessions ended. I canāt quite explain it, but I feel like I have more insight on ocd from Instagram or just things I have read on here than my therapist. I actually felt I spoke too much and annoyed her and it has me questioning everything I think, do or say. I decided to try another therapist this week and meet them tomorrow. Praying obsessively it goes better and I get some clarity because right now I feel as confused as ever about what ocd is and isnāt and praying its not just me and I am a lot and annoying. š
