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 ??♀️

How NOCD First Session Goes
Im wanting to set up an appt with a therapist but I am on the borderline. I’ve seen some bad Google reviews of people saying the therapists are required to do “small talk” but don’t get into the route of the issue right away. Is this normal? I just want help with my Pure OCD as soon as possible without wasting too much time on unnecessary things and get myself to feeling better.

Anxious about looking for treatment
I'm anxious about looking for/starting therapy even though I know it'll be worth it. I'd love to hear any advice/experiences anyone is comfortable sharing!

Nervous about starting counseling
About the beginning to middle of February I went into the doctor and requested to see a counselor. I’m starting to see a counselor about anxiety in a few days and I’m extremely nervous. I’m nervous my counselor is going to say I have to break up with my bf otherwise I’ll be stuck with ocd for the rest of my life. I’m nervous my counselor is going to think I’m crazy and not know anything about ocd. I’m nervous my counselor is going to tell my aunt how crazy and messed up I am because my aunt works in the clinic I’m going to therapy at, and if she tells my aunt everyone in my family may find out. I’m nervous I’m going to hell because I’m going to counseling and not fully leaning on God instead to fix it all for me. I’m nervous I’m a bad Christian for going to therapy and not believing Jesus is going to fix it all. I’m nervous that my future is ruined because of my mental health. I’m worried that my boyfriend is going to break up with me because I’m too much to handle and too anxious. I’m just scared for my future because of my ocd and because I am not as passionate about my faith as I used to be so I feel like I’m gonna go to hell for that or like my sister is going to die because of her seizures because of my ocd. Idk I’m so scared.
