Being 300% honest with your therapist is the only way that they'll be able to get a complete picture of how you feel, and that will ultimately help you get better. I had a really rough night with my ocd and was very close to acting on something I knew I'd regret...I plan on telling my therapist tomorrow so she understands how I'm feeling and we can work together to help me through it. Remember, their job is to help you, not judge you, so dont feel ashamed or embarrassed to share anything.

If it makes you feel any better: she’s probably used to it. I’m sure she has many patients schedule appointments while they feel in crisis and then feel ambareassed seeing her after they come out the other side. Let her know what happened and use her as a resource to come up with some coping strategies for next time you feel that way. There’s nothing to be ashamed of and honestly in a moment of feeling that way you 100% did the right thing.

You did 100% the right thing scheduling an appointment, so pat on the back for that. Even if your through the moment now, I agree with the others, tell her what happened. She can help you figure out ways to cope next time.

Maybe write out a letter of what you want to say, and then if you are too afraid to talk about it in the moment you can share what you wrote? Just remember they are there to help!

My therapist
What if my therapist hates me? Week ago I told her about compulsion that I had half year ago (a gross compulsions and my worse) I stoped doing it of course. She told me it’s just a compulsion and it’s ocd. What if she lying? What if she hates me and just want money (I know it’s selfish to think that but I’m scared because I actually like her). She passed our sessions to another day in the week. What if that could tell that she hates me? I’m having a big urge to sent her and ask her if she hates me but it will look weird and now I have to wait more then a week. It’s scary I wish I could know what she was thinking

New therapist - Please, I'm scared
It's going to be a year since I started the worst POCD episode of my life. I got diagnosed almost a year ago too, but the frequency of our sessions wasn't ideal and also I was in a very bad state (24/7 anxious and couldn't leave my bed) so I started taking medication a few months ago. But when I started with the meds my therapist kind of ghosted me? She said she's going to be very busy until May this year. That's why I booked an appointment with a new therapist my psychiatrist recommended. But I am deeply scared the moment I tell her everything she's going to send the police to my house and my life is going to end. Please help! How do I calm down? Can that actually happen?

therapist appointment
I got a therapist appointment in about a week and I'm scared I will get misunderstood, or I feel like Im not telling enough details, I'm scared that I have something else. This week alone was so draining
