I also wanted to say that when I was a child and I had some tics (some also now) sometimes my parents said that maybe it would have been necessary to take me to doctor (probably they meant a psychologist or a psychiatrist) for this, but they never did it...don't know if it's because they were ashamed to admit that I needed it, or because at the end they decided that it was better to wait...but if they were ashamed maybe they would be also now. I know that they love me, but maybe they wouldn't like the idea that I go.
And if I decide to talk to them I wouldn't like to describe how my obsessions and compulsions are...most of them have something to do with religion, but it's difficult for me to say more also here, where I know that nobody would judge me...I don't think to can do it in real life. Do you think that if I talk to them it's necessary to be precise about this? How can I explain what I have avoiding these details? And if they ask me how can I do? This scares me
