BeaFlower, we are here to help each other, so don't feel weird about asking questions I told my parents I wanted to see a psychologist, but it made me feel weak and "crazy", but I had a bit diftrent problem thank you back then (it was actually my fault, I was one of the stupidest people on the earth ). I think there are so many "worse" illnesses than OCD, for ex. schizophrenia. You should not feel uncomfrotable . I know that teling your parents about the OCD may be hard, but I believe you will find the strenght. You may also write an e-mail to a psychologist asking for an opinion. I did it a couple of times I prefer doing things on my own too, so I kinda relate to whatcha saying. If you find a good therapist, it will be fine
