Hello. I just was recently diagnosed with OCD a month ago. What I did was just bring it up with my pdoc, but she knows I know a lot things about mental illness and stuff, but. Anyways, if you aren't comfortable, then when your therapist asks how are you, if they do, I would say that I have been thinking intrusive thoughts as an example a lot lately. Or at the beginning of the appointment, remind your therapist of the time when she mentioned OCD before. I do that sometimes too. Anyways, maybe my psychiatrist thinks I am self-diagnosing myself, but I find it that the more I am telling them what I am experiencing, the more that gets noticed and treated. Why not bring it up to your therapist when all it is going to do is either be pushed to the side or something will actually happen. I have told my pdoc about anything anxiety-related, but not depression-related so my pdoc doesn't know that I get depressive episodes and I get really depressed in the winter just because I don't tell her. I wish you luck though .
