nervous
Have to go to court tomorrow and face my harasser. I am terrified and it’s making my OCD go out of whack and is scaring me.

Doing better. The extension on the harassment order wasn’t granted, but hopefully the individual will stop bothering me and let me live peacefully.

That sounds really really hard. Glad you’re able to see your OCD for what it is. Be gentle with yourself as you ride the waves. You’re not alone — sending you encouraging thoughts ❤️

yes, it is good you recognize what it is. just keep telling it that you are going to be focusing on something else right now.

I would add be gentle with yourself, that seems like a scary thing to face and you have every right to feel that way. Give yourself grace. But know that you are enough and worthy, don't let your OCD tell you things that aren't true about you.

What a brave thing to do, alongside your fears. That is a lot of strength. Be kind to yourself, no matter what your OCD throws at you, you are strong and capable. Today will pass soon enough. Please let us know how you’re doing if you like

Nervous about starting counseling
About the beginning to middle of February I went into the doctor and requested to see a counselor. I’m starting to see a counselor about anxiety in a few days and I’m extremely nervous. I’m nervous my counselor is going to say I have to break up with my bf otherwise I’ll be stuck with ocd for the rest of my life. I’m nervous my counselor is going to think I’m crazy and not know anything about ocd. I’m nervous my counselor is going to tell my aunt how crazy and messed up I am because my aunt works in the clinic I’m going to therapy at, and if she tells my aunt everyone in my family may find out. I’m nervous I’m going to hell because I’m going to counseling and not fully leaning on God instead to fix it all for me. I’m nervous I’m a bad Christian for going to therapy and not believing Jesus is going to fix it all. I’m nervous that my future is ruined because of my mental health. I’m worried that my boyfriend is going to break up with me because I’m too much to handle and too anxious. I’m just scared for my future because of my ocd and because I am not as passionate about my faith as I used to be so I feel like I’m gonna go to hell for that or like my sister is going to die because of her seizures because of my ocd. Idk I’m so scared.

Therapy today.
(21+ ONLY: TRIGGER WARNING) I have therapy today and I’m nervous. I just started going to therapy and I really like my therapist. She talked to me about doing ERP and I’m really nervous about it. I’m scared to tell her the extent of my OCD, and my themes. I’m scared to tell her about my false memory OCD, because I’m scared that what I did was real and I’m just excusing it as false memory, although I have no memory of it. I’m scared that I am truly a monster and I’m using OCD as an excuse—and that she’ll find out and distance herself. I’m just scared that my whole world is gonna fall apart, all around me.
