I usually text a friend or my girlfriend and chat with them. Even if they can’t come over sometimes they can chat for a while. Also I’m gonna be all alone and lonely pretty soon so if you need to chat I can talk.

@chichi 24 I’ve had times where I went a while without talking to people but I generally tend to need less interaction than most people do. I would recommend reaching out to a friend though, even if it’s hard. I mean I’d be happy to talk, too. What do you think is causing you to self isolate?

@Nikki1809 Maybe it's cause I have the symptoms of existential ocd I mean nothing feels really. There I something wrong with reality. I would want to talk to friends but they'll just judge me. Learned the hard way and I can't go to therapy.

@chichi 24 I mean you don’t have to talk to them about this. You can just talk about something light to stay connected with them. Also do you mind me asking why therapy isn’t an option? And if you can’t go what are you doing to cope?

@Nikki1809 I can't to talk my parents or anyone for that matter because they won't get it nor will they take me seriously. So I don't know what to that's why I got this app for advice and suggestions. I'm stuck feeling this way for only God knows how long. So how are u coping with OCD.

@chichi 24 I have a therapist I see. I’m also on medications. I have autism so I’ve always had a psychiatrist since I was 4 and he helped me talk to my parents and convince them to let me see an ocd specialist. My therapist had been sick for a while so I should schedule another appointment soon. Are you still in school?

@Nikki1809 Yes I am. My symptoms aren't sever so I'm not worried for now. But everything seems werid and imaginary. I feel numb and lonely. I don't know what happened to me or what to do about it. Sorry for my English.😅 I'm kinda anxious

@chichi 24 I’d talk with your school counselor. Even if it’s “not bad now” you still deserve help, because it can get bad. Your counselor can be a useful tool to help talk with parents, and there should be a way to get in contact even if school is online.

@chichi 24 Ah ok. It’s like a person trained in psychology who works in schools. In the us pretty much all schools have one. Where are you from, can I ask?
