I have parents/family that claim theres nothing wrong with me/I’m lazy/stupid/whatever and refuse to let me seek out therapy/treatment/etc. you know the usual controlling uneducated parents stuff but how do I really know I have ocd? What if it’s symptoms associated with adhd or whatever else? What if I don’t even have adhd? There are many certain things things that lead me to believe I have both but when I’m confronted about it my mind goes completely blank and I suddenly can’t remember a single thing about any mental illnesses I’m convinced I have and then I’m called a fake/liar/accused of only seeking out drugs to get addicted to and it’s so frustrating because I go so in depth about my problems in my head but when asked I can’t explain a single thing

Really sorry to hear that. If you struggle to go in depth and explain it maybe you could write it out before hand so you're not put on the spot? When I'm asked questions about mine it takes me a while to answer, doesn't make it any less valid. It's really hard! Of course it's difficult to explain.
