I have what I’ve been lead to think is a very bizarre/unique type of OCD and I was told I can’t tell my extended family what’s going on. The family that knows will almost never bring it up, including my own parents. Friends won’t either, not even to check if I’m okay. No one mentions it until I do. It makes me feel almost monstrous ahaha
Therapy! I relate to the aspect of feeling like no one would understand my OCD, and it felt crazy talking about it out loud. If you have health insurance, call the mental health phone number on your card to call and ask for therapists who specialize in OCD in your area. That way it knocks off some $. The NOCD app is really good as well, it's a whole community app for us.
