Haha that sounds like what I'd do ? I'm 18, you'd think as an adult they'd give you some privacy but nah

I won't do therapy in my house plain and simple. I have had too many times just in everyday life when people overhear things I say and then twist them against me. So no thanks

When I read your name I'm honestly not even getting Shrek vibes it's just that meme "I'm in me mum's car, broom broom" "git out me car" "no"

@gitoutmeswamp Yeah that's exactly what I'm worried about, misunderstandings are a big problem in my family

@worryqueen Mine too! Fortunately where I am, therapy has been deemed essential so I can still go in person with some extra precautions (masks, taking temp before going in, etc.) But I know that might not be the case for everyone, which can be hard.

@gitoutmeswamp Yes I live in illinois and I cant do in person therapy at the moment. Honestly I'm just about to do online therapy from my car at this point ??

@worryqueen It is better to get some sort of therapy than none at all. I am glad that you have found a system that is working for you for the time being!

I had this concern, but I just shut myself into a room for the hour and I'd be able to hear if someone came up to the door.

Mind you I also share about what I'm doing in therapy. So I guess if they want to listen to me ugly-cry then go ahead

@worryqueen Mine is extremely personal real event OCD full of trauma and my own mistakes and feelings of responsibility. Talking about it instead of treating it like a shameful secret was the best thing I ever did and it took me 8 years. It gave me perspective and kindness. You don't need to carry it by yourself

@Scoggy Last time I brought up the event it cause a lot of awkward tension. I feel really guilty, of course, but I dont want my family to treat me differently because of it.

@worryqueen Mine totally made my family feel awkward- but it also made them understand. I had to be pretty explicit and tell them what my problem is in simple terms lol. They adjusted. Idk, they love you, I can't imagine they would treat you differently or see you anything like the way you see yourself

@Scoggy I cant handle awkwardness, I'm not sure what I'd do in that situation. They do love me, but I have five siblings, one younger, and she's the one it's about (she's 15) so I dont know if I want her listening to that.

I did ft with my therapist in the dining room since I don’t have my own room. I didn’t really care if my family heard what I was saying, it’s not like I’m suddenly gonna speak to them about my personal problems. That’s why I have a therapist ??♀️

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?

Therapy today.
(21+ ONLY: TRIGGER WARNING) I have therapy today and I’m nervous. I just started going to therapy and I really like my therapist. She talked to me about doing ERP and I’m really nervous about it. I’m scared to tell her the extent of my OCD, and my themes. I’m scared to tell her about my false memory OCD, because I’m scared that what I did was real and I’m just excusing it as false memory, although I have no memory of it. I’m scared that I am truly a monster and I’m using OCD as an excuse—and that she’ll find out and distance herself. I’m just scared that my whole world is gonna fall apart, all around me.
