Know the guidelines for your state. But in general, unless what you did is excessively criminal.. they probably won’t report you. Most “real events” for ocd are grey area subjects. That’s why it’s so hard for our brain to see it’s not real danger.

This is why I hate myself and want to die. My real event waa when I was a kid and my brain keeps telling me I am a horrible person. I def hate myself and I really wish to die soon, as I think I dont deserve my life.

When I first started treatment with NOCD, I was struggling so bad with harm and suicide OCD. I thought for sure my therapist would call the cops on me or have me involuntarily committed to a psych ward. Neither happened. A therapist who specializes in OCD has heard it all before. They won't be shocked or surprised by anything you tell them. A therapist who understands will understand the difference between an intrusive thought and true intention. They are NOT the same thing.

Let’s talk about Therapy
So you got to ask me anything… Now I’d like to ask you something! I’ve heard from Members that they were so scared coming to their first ERP session. They were terrified that I would think they were crazy, that I would tell them their worst fears were true. That I would confirm they are some form of a terrible person or have them hauled off to prison for their thoughts. I’ve also had Members share how they’re very scared to begin ERP treatment because they’ve researched enough to know it means facing the fear, without the compulsions that have kept them feeling safe (but not really safe) this entire time. They struggled to see how they could be capable of doing this, while simultaneously acknowledging that they did not want to live like this anymore. If you have had your first session, what were your thoughts before? Did you have any hesitations or fears going into it? How did it turn out? If you haven’t yet begun to work with an ERP specialist, what is holding you back?

confession or real?
my spouse cheated on me on our wedding night and i haven't gotten over it. they never told their parents and i was resentful their parents didn't know. so i called them and told them today. it felt good in the moment to have that extra support from my in-laws but im freaking out now that i have to confess to my partner and they will feel betrayed by me and leave me. is this confession OCD or a real fear? i'm really freaking out.

What if I’m a criminal?
I know I shouldn’t and I’m trying not to ask for reassurance but how do I deal with this when I made real event mistakes in childhood? I’ve opened up to my cousin about this who’s an adult and believes that kids can be influenced at a young age and mimic things that they see and friends and my therapist. They all see the good in me and my stupid childhood mistakes but the guilt is very strong and even though I’ve opened up It’s telling me to open up more and more and I don’t know what else it wants from me.
