Just canceled my free call

so I scheduled my free call today, then I had this anxiety that maybe I shouldn't do this, I dont have ocd, im faking it all, blah blah. So I canceled it- fear that I'll waste there time and yeah. I also fear I'll get locked into paying for something I dont need even though this call is free, and also think i was lying to them for attention as I think all my symptoms are fake and it's all in my head and im just dramatic😅 Idk if this was a mistake or not, I want to know i rlly do but that nagging fear is stopping me.(sorry if i repeated anything)

@Echo downes - Yep exactly! You can tell them you're not ready to get an appointment scheduled with a therapist, but you want to learn more about therapy with NOCD and if it would be good for you. That's what the call is for!

If it makes you feel better, I have struggled with OCD most of my life and I STILL doubt that I have it. You aren't alone.

Yeahh, it's a constant fight in my brain- it's tiring rlly bc it's taken alot of time of my brain researching, taking many test, yapping to friends about it, watching so many videos about it. But still unsure.

That was also my response at first. I didn't want to do it, but that's the part of you that is taken by uncertainty. It's okay to be scared and uncertain, but not okay to continue on the same path of suffering without trying to do something different. You deserve better than that.

I had my first visit today and the therapist talked about the OCD thought cycle. It was so spot on that I was overcome by tears, like finally, someone understood me. You can do the hard thing!

Yeahh it's just fighting with my mom about how she believes once I go to school everything will be fixed. Which makes me doubt that maybe she's right and I should do this but ima try it see if it does help, also im glad someone understood you, you deserve it🫶

diagnosis

i’m terrified to get a diagnosis. What if it’s not actually OCD??? I made a list of reasons why i think so and then i think what if im lying and i actually don’t do this stuff and am just dramatic and i just want to have OCD so then my thoughts are justified?? I have struggled in the past year with Pocd & Rocd and then also some bits of thinking im constantly in danger or being watched? I’m scared.

Feeling scared and hesitant

my appointment with the psychiatrist is months away and still need to confirm everything but after talking with my therapist last night I just feel even more scared. Like scared I'm not going to provide enough info and then she'll tell me that nothing is wrong then all of this is for nothing. Of course, id love for there to be nothing wrong with me and to feel none of these things that have been bothering for so long. But the fear of being told that there isn't when its causing so much worry... it's making me really anxious. But it also makes me feel guilty because I feel like I'm just looking for attention or making something out of nothing. Even though I know very well it isn't nothing. I know that people sometimes take years or even decades to get help or get a diagnosis that actually fits what they've experiencing and im scared of that too.

Afraid of not being detailed enough?

After my psychiatrist appointments, I can't stop obsessing over whether or not I explained things correctly, or if I exaggerated without noticing? We spoke about the possibility of ADHD today, and after I got home, I kept wondering if I had exaggerated my experiences of struggling to focus, finishing tasks, feeling paralyzed when I want to get things done, etc... This is how I felt when I got diagnosed with anxiety and OCD, though. It's just sort of stressing me out 🫠 Has anyone dealt with similar?
