This is the first time 🥺 I’m starting to think I have ocd and not adhd . I’m always ruminating ,Mental checking , constantly trying to replace bad thoughts with good thoughts.

I suspect it. I won’t throw away even messed up drawings of my dogs because I don’t want to hurt them. Things like that.

When I got my diagnosis, she said mine was more obsessive than compulsive and I felt heard for the first time in my life. It’s been very hard for me- even tho I knew it and felt heard, I’m grieving the life I feel like I’ve missed.

I was diagnosed OCD by a therapist but when I told my primary care doctor she told me my therapist was wrong and I only had anxiety bc I wasn’t doing any visible compulsions in her office 😑

I went for an adhd medication follow up and left the appt being diagnosed with OCD. The relief I felt to finally feel heard and feel seen. I knew it was always more than just anxiety disorder.

I’ve been misdiagnosed with BPD when really it was relationship & harm OCD with a side order of Complex PTSD - it was hell trying to get properly diagnosed and advocate for myself 😢

Your videos and your page has taught me so much about my own OCD, I’ve brought all this up to my therapist and we’re working through these. Thank you for being so vulnerable and taking the time

I am 46. I was misdiagnosed my whole life. I was just diagnosed with OCD. I have mental compulsions. When my new therapist caught this it was like a lightbulb turned on.

When I ask them if they Google symptoms or if they are excessively reassurance seeking…usually OCD

OCD compulsions can be mental and unseen, but they can still take a heavy toll. Seeking help can make a world of difference. 🌟💫
