Can someone help with my OCD situation?
I have many suspicions that I have Pure O OCD, after many late nights contemplating I decided I want to get diagnosed. I really want to tell my parents but I can’t. What would you recommend? I want to talk with a psychiatrist.

Its important not to self diagnose because many things present similarly. Its good to share and be open with your parents and a doctor, when you have answers, you'll be better informed to make better decisions and fund healthy coping mechanisms, you've got this 💕💜
Talk to your parents I did the same mistake as you I kept it hidden for so long I thought about what my parents would think and all the embarrassment that would come with it but trust me most of the times it's not as bad as you may think it would be and today I'm glad that I told them
@versatileStrawberries3469 I told them and now I’m meeting with a psychiatrist after a therapist told them I either have OCD or PTSDz it was a great decision. Thank you!
