i haven’t taken the course but i’ve read practically every one of her articles!! i found one of her articles on HOCD which is when i first connected the dots and realized that i wasn’t actually going through a sexuality crisis and that what i was/am going through is HOCD

Yes cookiemonster is right...do not tell your mother or anyone else except the therapist, as she may take it otherwise...HOCD is really different and u can get it through without the help of ur family .

i really want to take the course but it isn’t free and i haven’t told my parents about my HOCD so i can’t really pay for it without them finding out. i know i should tell them and i know they’d wanna know that i’m going through this but i’m just really scared that they won’t understand

I’ve read pretty much the whole site 5 times for the sake of reassurance, but yes, it’s very good!

it’s difficult to hide it from everyone, especially my parents, since i know that they’d want to know i’m going through something kinda serious. but again, it’s tough because i feel like they wouldn’t understand. i’m afraid that they’ll assume that this is some sort of sexuality crisis and i’m actually lesbian. which is not the case (despite my brain trying it’s best to trick me into thinking i am haha). it’s just hard. plus, even if i did tell them i feel like things wouldn’t be the same. even if they understand the situation. i don’t want their view on me to change.

@sophiaa I totally understand what you’re going through. I actually told my parents after they got me into a therapist for my anxiety. I didn’t tell them about the type of anxiety, but just for anxiety. After my therapist understood clearly what I was going through, I asked her to tell my parents, so it could come from a professional stand point. Then, my parents understood and I talked to my mom about it. They were confused at first because it’s a very weird topic to explain especially because it’s sexual, but now my mom knows it’s clearly just the thought. Maybe try and telling your parents about the anxiety and slowly transition to the thoughts.

Anyone else with HOCD get thoughts of like "people in denial try to distract themselves" or anything along those lines when just trying to move on from the thoughts. Having a pretty bad episode this morning at least anxiety wise.

Hello! I am trying out and looking to partake in therapy, but I literally don’t know what is good. So could use some personal perspectives. Thanks

I’m considering trying therapy through nocd. This is too heavy for me to try and hold in anymore. I had a really bad night last night. I don’t want to use my mom’s insurance so I’d be self pay. Has anyone tried and is it worth it in your opinion? I’m afraid this is starting to affect my relationship and even my job+ feels more debilitating than ever. I think it might be time I’m also so shy. I wish I could do text therapy rather than phone visit 😫 any advice? I’m sure it’s not as bad as I imagine it’ll be. If anything I’ll bet it’s nice and I won’t feel the need to hold back. I’m also not diagnosed yet, has anyone gotten a diagnosis from doing therapy this way?
