I don’t know if there is any one easy way to tell someone. Sometimes it’s just a matter of pushing through the fears holding you back. Hopefully the possibility of getting help and working on your OCD pushes you to open up to them! They’re there to help! I for one am cheering you on from the sideline and wishing you the best!

If you keep avoiding telling your therapist directly, perhaps try writing an email before a meeting. I did this to tell my therapist that I thought I had OCD. We went through all of the compulsions I went through in my email, and I felt so much better afterward. With whatever you choose to do, good luck!

Advice to telling my mom i have Ocd
Im 21 years old, I had ocd seen I was 14 when it started it stopped me from telling anyone I have it. It was really bad at the time and I had no clue how to deal with it I even was able to kill myself at one point but decided to have hope it would get better. In time it did got better but I had no clue what was wrong with me and I didn't want to tell anyone. Until this year I finally found out what it was and my ocd started getting bad again but I'm doing better now. Is been 7 years but I really want my mom to know what I been through but I feel like if I tell her it hurt her and I feel bad for not telling her when it started. I just need same help getting the courage to tell her.

Anxious about starting Therapy
My name is Abbey and I’m a 14 year old girl struggling with OCD, I don’t like to say my OCD is severe but it’s the truth. I haven’t been officially diagnosed but I’m still being treated for it kinda via medication by my doctor. The reason I’m nervous about starting my therapy journey is I’m worried the therapist won’t understand what im saying or take it the wrong way and think I’m a bad person even though I know I’m a good hearted person. If you have any tips to overcome my fear of therapy please share! ✌️🧡

Help
This is really ruining me and I’m at the lowest point of this. I’m not suicidal or anything and I’m not depressed but I can’t bear with this anymore. POCD is the worst ocd I’ve ever dealt with and I’m too scared to tell a therapist about this. What do I do
