I want to start therapy. I really need the help. But I’m scared. I’m absolutely terrified of being misunderstood. I have tried to tell my mom time and time again that I need help I think she’s scared for the same reason. I want to show her that what I could have is real and it’s making it really hard to live my life. I’m willing to get help if that’s what it takes to get better. So if I were to start therapy on here I know I have to call but I want to talk to someone who specializes in my certain theme is there any way I could ask without telling them if that makes sense? If anyone has gotten help with this theme can you point me in the right direction?

I think they all specialise in the different themes. I was assigned a therapist and like you I was terrified but she was understanding and professional, part of this OCD is the fear of what people may think. I only started a few weeks ago and it’s the first time I have ever spoken about it and it’s hard but they want you to get better not judge you. Please get the help you need x
