I was 16, and I actually called the therapist asking for help with schizophrenia, but he said with a smile, "Now, I'm sure you don't have schizophrenia. Come into my office and we'll have a chat." Then I got diagnosed with OCD and he recommended I read Brian Lock, which was the key to success for me! But I have suffered from ocd for literally as long as I can remember. My first OCD memory was on my 4th birthday, and I don't remember anything earlier than that.

I’ve probably had it since I had childhood trauma about 10 but I didn’t know what it was until recently. I thought I was just going crazy. I also thought it was anxiety but it’s just paired with anxiety.

Was diagnosed a few weeks ago, I’m 18 but first went to a psychologist when I was 14 for OCD. I had symptoms of mild OCD since I was about 9 though. :(

@GummyDrop I’m so sorry you feel that way! If people don’t take you seriously just because you don’t have a label then that’s their problem. My OCD has been undiagnosed and REAL for years. I know how you feel and I take you seriously. ❤️ I do recommend though making a psychiatrist and talking about it with them so that you can get diagnosed and treated if you are worried about it! It’s also better to start earlier incase it gets worse. For me mine was bad, got way better over the course of two years and then got severe. I wish I had got help earlier.

@Laura3 I’ve got a question please try your best to answer. At first a image of a girl popped up but it almost showed her bottom part but got cut off, somehow it kinda made me like it. Then I realize that I would be a lesbian, and I just panic, cause I don’t wanna be a lesbian, this is too much stress for me to handle. What do you think? Am I a lesbian? Idk please try your best to respond

Feeling overwhelmed by diagnosis
I am newly diagnosed with OCD as a 33 year old female I was fat oses with bipolar at 15 and never really identified with it much and totally relate to ocd. I wish i would have known long ago so I could have gotten treatment earlier. Now that I know and am aware and can see what’s off and what are compulsions and my insatiable need for reassurance it’s so overwhelming- it feels like my mind is a prison and attacks me with a new pure o quest as soon as I wake up I’m optimistic I’ll be able to get better but it just feels like it’s time sucking and joy stealing disorder I know I’m not alone here I feel like a crazy person replaying and replaying things I want to know if you can relate or if you have been at this for a while and actually feel like you are breaking free from this Thanks for the read
