Thinking of trying therapy

I’m considering trying therapy through nocd. This is too heavy for me to try and hold in anymore. I had a really bad night last night. I don’t want to use my mom’s insurance so I’d be self pay. Has anyone tried and is it worth it in your opinion? I’m afraid this is starting to affect my relationship and even my job+ feels more debilitating than ever. I think it might be time I’m also so shy. I wish I could do text therapy rather than phone visit 😫 any advice? I’m sure it’s not as bad as I imagine it’ll be. If anything I’ll bet it’s nice and I won’t feel the need to hold back. I’m also not diagnosed yet, has anyone gotten a diagnosis from doing therapy this way?

I just had my first session and it was really great. I felt comfortable and the therapist is there to help you so that you don't have to carry your thoughts alone!

That’s amazing that you’re trying to get help :) I’m so proud of you. I can share my personal experience if you’d like: I’m shy too so I’ve done text therapy in the past with a different company and I would still say a Zoom call offers you wayyy better quality for your money. Writing your thoughts through text takes up extra time during the sessions so you don’t get to talk about as much info as you would compared to a Zoom call. Also you get to build a better connection when you can hear someone’s voice and see their face I think you’re in good hands with NOCD :) Just keep in mind that if you ever don’t mesh well with your therapist, feel free to switch to a different one 👍

Do it, without hesitation. It can only be as helpful as you allow it to so dive right in and find what has been ailing you and holding you back from accomplishing what you need to accomplish. This is a good place to do just that. Much support, much understanding, and quite beneficial. I hope you decide to. We all need a place we can lay things out and sort them as they should be. For me, this is that place. Maybe for you as well.

Nocd is definitely a good place to get zoom style therapy. It is working for me

Any alternatives to therapy?

I tried contacting NOCD, but they said that they didn't accept my insurance, and even if they did, I'd have to provide co-payment. I felt devastated because I'm afraid of going to a therapist who will misunderstand me. I can't afford therapy at the moment but I might be able to in a few months. Are there any alternatives for self therapy?

are the therapists here actually reliable???

I feel really scared and worried that the therapist I find on NOCD might not be effective, and instead of getting better, I might end up feeling worse. I’m afraid that if I don’t feel any progress, I’ll want to switch therapists, but my mom might get impatient with me. I worry that she’ll lose faith in therapy, stop paying for it, and think it’s a waste of time and money. I know therapy takes time and it’s not a quick fix, but I’m scared that things won’t go the way I hope. What if I don’t connect with the therapist? What if they don’t understand my OCD as well as I need them to? I’ve already been struggling so much, and the thought of going through another disappointment is exhausting. I’m only 14, and I feel stuck because I can’t manage this on my own. I need help, but I also need my mom to stay patient and supportive through this process. I’m scared that if things don’t improve fast enough, she’ll give up on paying for therapy. I don’t know what to do, and it’s making me feel really anxious. I just want to get better, but what if nothing works out?

Better Help vs NOCD

Hello! I am trying out and looking to partake in therapy, but I literally don’t know what is good. So could use some personal perspectives. Thanks
