Stop asking those “what if” questions. They don’t help and just keep you going in circles

You will not get sent back from therapist to therapist. You gotta believe and speak into exisitence that this is the help you need and that you will receive. And I mean this in no offense because I do the same thing: but the fact that you are asking about this displays OCD symptoms to me. I’ve been dealing with severe OCD, Anxiety, ADD, and ADHD since I was 4. I’ve asked questions like this so many times in my 25 years. You will get the help you need! Your OCD is just scared that it’s finally gonna get it’s butt whooped. You got this hang in there!

@mcic You’re not trust me. Everyone on here in some type of way feels alone because no one around them physically understands the struggles. For me I’m the fifth generation on my dads side of the family to deal with these issues. My dad has the same issues. But for me personally I don’t want to burden him so I do feel alone at times. But I found this app and I have my therapist and psychiatrist and then are trained and educated to deal with people who have this mental illness. They try to the best of their ability to understand because they care about us and helping us get better. The people around you may not fully understand but if you open up and give them a tiny glimpse I’m certain they will try their best to understand and help you get better. And idk if you believe in god but just know that you aren’t ever alone because god has got you in his hands and won’t ever let you fall. You have a greater purpose and this is just a way for you to be able to help others. Is it unfair? Hell yes but just know that once you find what works for you and your ocd, you can share that with others and others can share their techniques with you!

@Anonymous For a long time my responses to things were very mean and snippy and short. I didn’t even realize it until someone pointed it out and then I felt terrible. Now at 25 I respond to things better and more calmly!

I do belive in God. I’ve got various theories centered around the God of the Bible, I just don’t know which one I believe yet if that makes any sense. Anyway, I’m worried that instead of feeling this way, the way I’ve felt for about 4 months now going away, that I’m just going to get used to this feeling and I don’t want that at all. Getting used to this current feeling isn’t a solution to me it’s a nightmare

I get you on that. For me having these intrusive thoughts for the past 2 months has been all I’ve know and I’ve been praying for them to go away/ subside. But I’m finding out that as I get better that I feel like I should be thinking about them which is crazy because I’ve been begging not to think about them😭 just know that once you get better you will adapt to a new norm

I feel like in some ways receiving a diagnosis for OCD has in some ways made things worse. I’ve always had what I called “phases” throughout life, which I now know were ocd episodes, but I didn’t really make too much of them and even if it was over several long difficult months, they’d always seem to kind of just pass. Recently I’ve begun my worse flare up in the last few years and now that I’m older I seemed professional help which led to my diagnosis. This all sounds great of course but I can’t actually afford therapy right now so I kinda just have the diagnosis but not the support so now that I realize these phases are actually this incurable mental illness I just feel like I’ve lost all hope that I’ll ever be happy and I feel like I basically obsess about obsessing at this point and it just sucks. Has anyone else had this or a similar experience?

It feels like I used to get so many intrusive thoughts in the beginning but now it’s less it’s only thoughts like what if I’m a p what if I’m a p what if I’m lying to myself what if I’m in dentist truly in all this and it was all fake like I’m an imposter, now it’s just feelings and noticing :/ and I hate he feelings that come with it I’m really scared I am one I feel so alone :( I’m taking therapy but my therapist is not specialized in ocd and I don’t think she understands and I don’t want to bring it up bc I brought up a fear that what if I turn into my stepdad and she said “are you attracted to children?” And I said no but it was just an irrational thought that came after I started realizing the trauma that happened to me as a kid, and idk I’m scared to Start with a therapists here bc what if all this just makes it worse and it turns out I am what I fear all along.? :(

I feel really scared and worried that the therapist I find on NOCD might not be effective, and instead of getting better, I might end up feeling worse. I’m afraid that if I don’t feel any progress, I’ll want to switch therapists, but my mom might get impatient with me. I worry that she’ll lose faith in therapy, stop paying for it, and think it’s a waste of time and money. I know therapy takes time and it’s not a quick fix, but I’m scared that things won’t go the way I hope. What if I don’t connect with the therapist? What if they don’t understand my OCD as well as I need them to? I’ve already been struggling so much, and the thought of going through another disappointment is exhausting. I’m only 14, and I feel stuck because I can’t manage this on my own. I need help, but I also need my mom to stay patient and supportive through this process. I’m scared that if things don’t improve fast enough, she’ll give up on paying for therapy. I don’t know what to do, and it’s making me feel really anxious. I just want to get better, but what if nothing works out?
