What if when I get to my first session they decide that I don’t have OCD and I’m sent back on the quest from therapist to therapist to find out what’s wrong with me, desperately hoping that one of them will figure it out and I’ll finally get the treatment I’ve always needed

Thank you what you just said means a lot to me

@mcic No problem! We are all in this together so you’re definitely not alone ❤️

@LuLaBelle95! I feel alone

@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!

With adhd add and ocd and anxiety how is your anger response I feel like mine is horrible and suffer from these as well from a young age

@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!

@LuLaBelle95! I know I’m a kind hearted person and was always told I have the biggest heart but I tend to lose my cool bad it will feel like I’ve lost control of my anger/rage even if I know I have and I need to calm down I basically turn into a monkey

@Anonymous I know what you mean. When I get angry and get really angry and there is no in between sadly

@LuLaBelle95! That’s what I have always felt like like I’ll try to control my anger and then boom I’m there I’m mad lately I’ve been working on it a lot or at least trying to but I feel horrible because of it

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
