@Anonymous_confessions I relate to this SO much! I don’t worry about if I love my partner etc but I am so focused on him and if he’s a good person, if he’s doing everything right etc. I literally feel like I don’t know if I trust him, think he’s a good person etc and it’s the worst feeling EVER. I don’t even know what to do to feel better, I feel like I’m losing my mind 🥺

@Haleehere I totally get that. OCD will nitpick and try to convince you of all kinds of things and will instil fear in your mind so you feel like leaving. Have you talked to a therapist about any of this? It might be a good idea to speak to a professional who can walk you through ERP

@Anonymous_confessions I have not. I would like to I’m just scared and don’t really know where to start.

@Haleehere I totally get that too. I was scared to find a therapist too. I’m currently undiagnosed which also makes it tough because it’s a whole other ordeal to get a proper diagnosis. Have you thought about utilizing the therapy available on this app? They do free consultations, it might help to schedule one with a therapist so you can get a better idea of what it would look like :)

@Anonymous_confessions I am also undiagnosed. Are you doing therapy through here?

@Haleehere No, my insurance couldn’t cover the costs and I’m only a young adult so I’m not entirely financially stable at the moment. I was doing therapy with a qualifying therapist (basically a therapist in training) so she could offer me lower rates, but I found it wasn’t working out, so I’ve been taking a break since then. Hopefully I’ll find something better soon. But if money wasn’t a problem, I would definitely start with NOCD, they can give me a proper assessment and I know they can create a plan specifically for me and the themes I’m struggling with.

@Anonymous_confessions Yes I also am worried about the costs… I also live in a small town & while there are therapists there aren’t any that specialize in OCD

@Haleehere I would suggest an online therapist, it’ll give you more access to the best resources for you. That’s what I’ve been doing. Many therapists offer their services over video call :)

@Anonymous_confessions Thank you so much!!

@Anonymous_confessions So true, I’ve sabotaged several relationships due to this illness. I’m Now married, thought I broke The cycle, but it’s still challenging at times.

@Anonymous_confessions Any ERP therapists that take insurance outside of this app that you know of? I have Emblem Health.

@Stein No clue because I don’t have any coverage 😕

@Anonymous_confessions Okay. Are you doing ERP?

@Stein I’ve been struggling to be consistent with that.
