How do y’all tell someone that you have SO-OCD? I’ve been pondering to tell someone close like my mom or my sister just so I want to seek therapy (I haven’t been diagnosed yet). Yet I’m too terrified to do it, I want to get better but I’m also hesitant.

Maybe show a video of Chrissie Hodges? She has a video about Pure O and what your family/friends have to know about it (If you want to tell them) here's the link: https://youtu.be/hdceC2SGL54 You could also watch a video of her about how to tell your family and or friends!
