This platform changed my life for the better with ERP. Give it a go and you’ll see if it helps you. Sounds like your OCD doesn’t want you to show up to your session so you can stay stuck with it instead. Fucking OCD. 😤

I get being nervous, I really do, but this is all your OCD/anxiety weighing you down. Push through those fears, it WILL be worth it. NOCD changed my life and there's no reason it can't change yours, too.

It makes sense to be nervous! Especially because OCD hates the unknown, and there is no way to know how therapy will go until it happens. And OCD will have us fearing the worst case scenario too. It can even make you doubt treatment and therapy itself, I have experienced that too. NOCD is definitely the right platform for OCD and ROCD, but I know that OCD will still have you doubting that. As someone who understands how you feel and has also been through ERP therapy, I want to encourage you to power through the fears and uncertainties, and see how the first session goes. You can talk about all these fears and concerns with your therapist too and they can help. I am rooting for you! I know it's scary.

I was nervous for my first session too. My compulsions were increasing significantly and I couldn't focus on anything. I didn't think I could go through with my first session. I was worried about many of the same things, if I talk too much, if I share too much, etc. My first session came, and my therapist asked her first question and I just poured my heart out and cried for almost the whole hour. In just a couple of months, NOCD and my therapist changed my life. I was able to start getting back to my life and I couldn't be more grateful that I took the first step. It's the hardest step, but I promise it will be okay. You can do this❤️❤️

Anxious about starting Therapy
My name is Abbey and I’m a 14 year old girl struggling with OCD, I don’t like to say my OCD is severe but it’s the truth. I haven’t been officially diagnosed but I’m still being treated for it kinda via medication by my doctor. The reason I’m nervous about starting my therapy journey is I’m worried the therapist won’t understand what im saying or take it the wrong way and think I’m a bad person even though I know I’m a good hearted person. If you have any tips to overcome my fear of therapy please share! ✌️🧡

How NOCD First Session Goes
Im wanting to set up an appt with a therapist but I am on the borderline. I’ve seen some bad Google reviews of people saying the therapists are required to do “small talk” but don’t get into the route of the issue right away. Is this normal? I just want help with my Pure OCD as soon as possible without wasting too much time on unnecessary things and get myself to feeling better.

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.
