so i told my parents before we went to the doctor so i found it easier but ur doctor is under confidentiality. they cannot disclose anything of what you tell them to ur parents unless potentially if ur going to harm urself and even then if it’s not an imminent threat they can’t tell ur parents. i was planning on telling my doctor years ago but i hadn’t told my parents and i got scared so i didn’t say anything. i told my family and my brother went with me when i told my doctor a week ago and it’s a lot better. and if you ask ur dad to leave, the doctor will ask him to leave bc if you want it to be between you and them then that’s fine

I go to the doctor alone cause I’m 19 but I told her about my anxiety/OCD symptoms 2 days ago and she took it really well and listened to me. They might not diagnose you with OCD because they may not be focused on mental health so they may referral you to a mental health professional like a psychiatrist or psychologist but they will do what they can to help you cause that’s their job. Good luck!

You have a plan, that's great! Try to stick to it even if you feel compelled not to. Temporary relief will not lead to lasting healing. Anxiety is just part of this process! Trust that you can do it even if it's hard.
