I've had ocd since I was a young child, but only got officially diagnosed when I was 23. I know the wait can be agonizing. But if it helps, mental health professionals use the same criterion you can find online. Identifying with what you've researched is already very valid!
Thanks for the info it really calms me down🥲💜
It’s better to get help now than wait it out. Trust me. I wish I had gotten help way sooner. My parents and partner are terribly worried about me because I haven’t gotten help and my ocd has gotten so bad. Get help and get it under control now. The therapists are so talented and kind. Plus once you start feeling better your life will get so much better. School, friendships, etc Take care of yourself :)
Thxx I'll seek help once I'm able to find and afford one😂 i live in a quite conservative country so therapy isnt common here plus i just checked nocd and found out its not available here (sadly)
