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

Hello there. I’m new here and think I may have OCD I’ve struggled with anxiety my whole life. However, in my early teens, I started experiencing obsessive fears and engaging in compulsions because my brain convinced me that if I didn’t perform a certain action a specific number of times, it would “prove” that I wanted something terrible to happen. When I was 17, I began seeing a therapist and opened up to her about this. She diagnosed me with Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), and I accepted the diagnosis But last night, I became curious about whether people with GAD engage in compulsions and have specific fears, so I looked it up. I was shocked to learn that these are not typical characteristics of GAD Now, I would love to find a therapist who specializes in OCD so I can get a formal diagnosis and the appropriate treatment

My name is Abbey and I’m a 14 year old girl struggling with OCD, I don’t like to say my OCD is severe but it’s the truth. I haven’t been officially diagnosed but I’m still being treated for it kinda via medication by my doctor. The reason I’m nervous about starting my therapy journey is I’m worried the therapist won’t understand what im saying or take it the wrong way and think I’m a bad person even though I know I’m a good hearted person. If you have any tips to overcome my fear of therapy please share! ✌️🧡

Hello! What a journey this ocd thing is! After 17 years with one therapist, I knew I was no longer making progress, so I changed to a new therapist. After just 6 months with her, she suggested I might have ocd and to look into getting diagnosed. She was right and I was diagnosed with ocd last summer. Meds are making a big difference but I still have lots of unlearning and re-learning to do. I’ve been struggling with whether or not to switch to a therapist who specializes in ocd. I have no issues with my current therapist, but she doesn’t specialize in ocd and I sometimes think I need someone who does specialize in it. But of course, I have Pure O, so I can think myself in circles til the cows come home. Can anyone share experience about switching to a therapist who specializes in ocd?
