Addin on, I'm scared if I tell him I have instrusive thoughts, he'll ask what they are. My mom will probably be in the room if he does our appointments at the same time

You should be confident with your self If you want to defeat OCD first trust your self then the doctor..

What kind of doctor is it? Is this an OCD Specialist? Regular therapist? General practitioner? What’s the reason for the visit? If you bring up intrusive thoughts you’ll likely be asked to describe them. How much this person can help depends on how qualified they are to diagnose and treat OCD with mental compulsions. If you’d like privacy during the appointment, ask for it. Your mom may feel defensive or confused but hoepfully she’ll allow you to see this person alone. If not: what are you planning on saying?

He's a general doctor. I'm going because my mental state has been crap lately. I have no idea what'll say

@Makki23 I see. I second the advice given below. Ask for a referral to a psychologist. But you actually don’t need a referral to go see one. You can just go. And your mom can schedule that appointment for you. Ideally you could see an OCD Specialist, but a regular psychologist is better than other alternatives. There are lots of resources out there for how to talk to your mom about needing help. And you don’t need to go into details about anything. Tell her you’re not ready to share with her but would like a professionals opinion.

I recommend being as general as you can when talking about it with your doctor, you don’t need to be specific about the content of your thoughts if it makes you uncomfortable, I would save that for someone educated & trained to treat OCD. As for your mom, if you want to tell her, there are a lot of resources about how to talk to your family about ocd! Check out the peace of mind foundation’s website! They have books, articles, & videos specifically for families of ocd sufferers!

Ill be honest, I want to write a letter if anything happens, if I loose this battle and put and end to it. But even if my thoughts keep coming, I try to keep my head up, stand up strong and look them at them for what they are, thoughts. I’m still scared, I still can’t go to sleep normally, but I feel a tiny bit of hope. I really hope my feeling is right, I really hope. Whathever happens, I’m still proud of myself, I’m still proud of my achievements, I am proud of me. Whathever happens, please don’t forget This message. Please, don’t forget me

Hi I kept seeing this app on repeat on TikTok over and over and I thought I give it a shot. I have never been diagnosed with OCD but I know that I have it. I’m a young adult and I found out the first time I had OCD was watching lelelons truth video? I was 14 at the time She had to resist sitting back down in a chair after her having sat down she started having a mental break down when she was told to resist. That’s when I knew. It started with myself going up and down a staircase twice buckling unbuckling my seat belt everytime I’m in the car ect I have always been super anti social but trying my best I can socialize but my mind wants to make it sexual with family and friends ughhhh I hate it because that’s not me when I graduated thoughts of hurting my loved ones corrupted my mind I broke down outside of church one time asking if this was really me or not i question if I’m a good enough friend or person in this world to begin with thinking everyone is judging me so so close how can I make this situation better did I do something wrong I struggle with depression as well not to bad but it’s there I come from a loving family but broken as well i believe in god and my OCD makes me go often he’s not real that stuff isn’t real no one is there to save you the list goes on. Anyway I struggle a lot and I really hope that this will help me because I feel extremely hopeless. Lucky for me I do have the ability to seek therapy and I am excited. The only person I ever tell my thoughts to is God no other human has heard so I’m really really hoping this helps me out if your reading this thank you it means a lot because this is my first time ever admitting all this it’s a lot to take in I know and I hope you are ok and that you have a great night and know that we got this
