I totally understand, it really sucks that everyone doesn't know more about ocd. Because of this there is a stigma about ocd. Mental health is just as important as physical health, just always remember this. You deserve to get better. Ocd is very real. Don't listen to what anyone says otherwise. Having ocd does not mean one is crazy, weird, or not normal (then again normal doesn't exist unless its a setting on your dryer?) my advice to you is if anyone says anything negative to you, you can do one of two things: ignore them and keep on getting yourself to a better mental and physical place or educate them. Some people are quick to judge mental health, but this is because they are ignorant. Spreading awareness is an important thing. And yes we can totally be friends!

Hello Emily! If these checking behaviours disrupt your everyday life there is a high chance you have ocd. These ”coping methods” are none other than the infamous Compulsions of ocd. Checking can seem like its there to help you, to make you feel better or safe. But unfortunately this is a lie ocd is telling you, because ultimately everytime you check you are fueling the irrational thoughts, emotions, and feelings. My advice to you is to seek a diagnosis if you haven't already. The best thing you can do for yourself is find an erp specialist. Although I can't treat you in the way a professional could I will always be here for support and comfort! All the best of luck to you xoxo

This a common theme in ocd, and trust me if there's something I've learned it's that any friend that doesn't accept you, struggles and all, aren't real friends. My advice on coping is trying stop or taint the rituals (compulsions/checking behaviors). When a thought comes up that you need to check to prevent horrible things from happening, instead of checking say a risk statement ”today is the day I am not going to check and instead I will take the risk that something awful may or may not happen” the goal is to be ok with the uncertainty. If avoiding the ritual is too difficult try tainting it, how this is done is either not completing the ritual thoroughly or doing something small wrong and then saying your risk statement.
