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!

I would just say it. You don’t need to walk on eggshells with your therapist

Advice on getting help
Hi I’m currently undiagnosed but am so sick of the way I’m living that I’ve decided I seriously need to get help. I need advice on 1. How to tell my parents that I need help and 2. The process. The first part is hard because a couple years ago I talked to my mom about having OCD but she brushed it off and said “everyone has anxiety” so I just never brought it up again. I’m also a bit ashamed for some reason, I don’t know why, to bring it up to them and I feel scared. For the second part what’s the process of getting diagnosed and getting medication and therapy. Where do I get diagnosed and do I have to start therapy before getting medicated? Thanks so much for the help.

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
