I am new to this and just wondering how it works. I'm not exactly sure what kind of ocd I have but its thoughts of something bad is going to happen if like I dont say touch the light switch a certain amount of times. Any information will help maybe someone just to talk about it .

I just signed up an hour ago too. I’m not 100% sure which ones I have either. I seem to fit a lot categories. I signed up for a 15 minute consultation earlier, so that’ll happen later today. This website/community resource app came highly recommended from my OCD therapist, who thought that the multiple support groups offered on this app would help me more. I wish I could provide more information for you, but I thought maybe just sharing that it was my first time looking at this site too would make you feel better.

Also don’t forget to fill out the Diamon Screening Questionnaire once you secure a first session. I almost didn’t see mine under the “tasks” list under the “therapy” tab on this app! 30 questions go help your therapist help you better :)

The first session with your counselor will be an indepth assessment specifically OCD. The best thing I can suggest is be totally honest about your symptoms and the nature of your intrusive thoughts. The NOCD counselors understand OCD. There is nothing you can tell them they haven't heard before. I also recommend doing a little research on OCD subtypes. But make sure you don't let the research turn into a compulsion.
