Yes omg, Like sometimes I want a diagnosis and just to talk to someone. I totally agree and also yeah Im 18 and my family doesnt understand OCD and have made jokes and inaccurate statements so its hard sometimes to hear it. I doubt EVERYTHING as well and I think this app reading peoples stuff has helped a little to better understand others experiences. Thank you for commenting. People reply fast and are open about things here which is nice. I just think its one of my biggest obsessions and I know others doubt even their diagnosis too and you know....its okay. Its hard to feel you arent faking shit or things arent real or something like that. Anyway I hope things get easier for you.
hey i completely understand how you feel. this is my story: i read up on ocd a while ago and felt like it made sense. then i had a mental breakdown in front of my mom (LMAO WHOOPS) and told her everything that happens in my brain that i hadn’t said outbound before (mostly symptoms that i didn’t know were symptoms lol, intrusive thoughts, counting, physical compulsions etc). we went to my therapist and she basically said she thought i had ocd. she couldn’t OFFICIALLY diagnose me but she thought i did. after that i felt like i was faking it for attention. like i just wanted attention and none of it was real. then i researched it more and doubting diagnosis is a big symptom. and then i doubted more. and more. and more. until about two months later (literally this monday lol) i went to the psychiatrist and she said “there is no doubt that this is ocd.”. she diagnosed me and put me on zoloft for ocd and depression and anxiety (and all the other shit lmao) and i still doubt it. but other times i remember that my whole life i’ve dealt with this. and i remember all the times i’ve struggled because of it. and i realize that it’s real. sorry this was really scrambled and weird of me to reply and just odd overall. but idk anything abt you but i’m guessing you’re a teen, like me, and i know it feels good to be reassured.
thank you so much sis.....same to you !! <3
Yeah of course!! ?
I havent been diagnosed either and Im afraid Im just pretending. When I came across the term rOCD everything I was going through made sense to me,but since Im not officially diagnosed Im scared I dont really have it and I just dont want to accept my feelings. Stay strong!
are faking it*
yeah I totally get it! I hope you stay strong too.?
Random blah-blah: I have GAD, and I think I have OCD too. I don't say that suffer from ocd since I'm not diagnosed. My ex-therapist suggested me to look up for bipolar disorder. The problem is, after half an year, I still don't think I am bipolar. Did my research inside my brain, as well as on the internet. The thing is, I am obssesing over my mental health. OCD was the last disorder that I checked, since I thought it's impossible for me to have it. I am anxious about this one. I am scared. I want to know if I have ocd, and since yesterday, that s all I am doing. Looking up on the internet to find an answer. I am scared if I book a call, the therapist will say: but you have GAD, not OCD. And this will be so bad because I... I honestly can t imagine why it would be so bad. Just that I ve lived in a lie for 2 days. I think my ocd is most obvious in my relationship with my bf. And I feel so bad because he keeps saying that everything he does - is never enough. It s complicated. I just want him to never doubt himself, his actions and our love.
Just got diagnosed with OCD today. Now I’m doubting/wondering if I actually have it. Or maybe over embellished and am making all of it up for attention. Or maybe I’m not REALLY having intrusive thoughts, or not having them enough. Because I feel like maybe they dwindled down? Idk. What a wonderful loop this is 😂 I thought the diagnosis would help lol!
So I was recently diagnosed with ocd and I have always been told since I was little that I have ocd tendencies but I worry that I am not ocd enough. Like what if I don’t have enough like things to address. Sometimes I worry that I’m faking it but I can’t tell the difference between what’s fake and what real
