I am! I wish I was, but a tough family situation (dad doesn’t believe in mental health and thinks I make everything up) doesn’t really allow for that! Someday though. I cannot wait to get help! For now, this app is the greatest support system for me. :)

Yes, well sort of. When I was 16 my therapist was the one who first brought it up to me and diagnosed me during one of our first sessions. I know that a different profession is needed for a proper diagnosis and to be honest I felt like she diagnosed me over the most minor things that I'd bring that I myself didn't even recognize as OCD. She also gave me "well everyone's a little OCD including myself" vibes, but now I know today that it's certainly OCD, but for different reasons rather than what she diagnosed me for.

I am actually diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder not OCD. But still some things here feel similar or even more helpful than my therapy for the GAD.

I went for a long time being undiagnosed. I didn’t know I was autistic until just recently (in my 30s). I didn’t know I had OCD either until a patient shared a similar experience (and I’m a therapist lols).

Question: when you guys got diagnosed, did they also tell you the subtypes you had or did you guys come to that on your own? Just wondering 🤷♀️

Misdiagnosed
So I've always felt so different like there's something terribly wrong with me. I've spent many years trying to figure out whats wrong. I've done research and I even went into a job centered around it all. My dad had OCD growing up but since my compulsions aren't...obvious? I never thought about OCD until recently. I've been diagnosed BPD and now most recently ADHD. I have always been diagnosed anxiety and depression since I was young. But im really starting to think its been OCD all along. I'm not sure my point in this post I just wanted to get this off my chest.

Confused. Questioning.
Hi. I'm new here. Never been diagnosed but identify with symptoms. I want to seek a diagnosis but I'm terrified of seeking help and having the doctors think I'm just faking it or being a hypochondriac (I have a laundry list of thing I want to look into as far as diagnosis go). I just need answers and help because it's hard and after having a kid it's even harder. How did you get diagnosed? Was there medical gaslighting for you?
