OCD, how do I tell them?

Okay, this is embarrasing, but about five months ago I noticed I had some symptoms of OCD but they were not that bad, but ever since my boyfriend broke up with me It’s gotten a lot worse. Sometimes I’ll actually hurt myself cause if I don’t I think something bad will happen to my ex (Who I still care for VERY much) or to myself. I know it’s completley stupid and irrational, but I can’t help it, and I know that’s what OCD is. I know I need to tell my parents so I can get some help but I just don’t know how to tell them cause they would be in shock, how should I tell them?

Answer #1

OCD doesn’t cause you to hurt yourself bc you fear for yourself or sig. other. That is some thing else. I have mild-moderate OCD and have never hurt myself for the reasons you listed. That is more like depression mixed with some kind of voodoo stuff or something and you giving yourself as a sacrifice. But that isn’t right. You may want to look into getting help for that…
