- "Pure" OCD
Hey! So I've gone to therapy before that wasn't through this app and I was diagnosed with GAD and depression but no one ever mentioned anything about OCD, it wasn't until I started researching it and found out about NOCD that I received a proper diagnosis. If therapists aren't trained in OCD it may go unnoticed. I would highly recommend seeing a therapist that specializes in OCD... the fact that you are researching it and trying to get to the bottom of whether or not it is OCD sounds a lot like OCD to me. Thats how my brain always thinks too.. trying to figure everything out. My therapist always talks about how OCD always goes back to "what if". So We focused a lot on just being with the feelings of "what if" rather than trying to solve the problem or fix it/figure it out somehow. Anyways I highly recommend a therapist trained in OCD specifically, if you can go through the app I highly recommend.. a lot of your GAD could be OCD related as well.. I've found that helping my OCD has reduced my overall anxiety in general
Thank you, that’s very helpful! I appreciate you sharing!
No problem good luck with everything ☺️
