its hard to talk to people exspecally our loved ones about ocd cause some types of ocd are really not pleasant and it makes it hard to talk to people who don't understand it and plus theres that fear of judgement that sucks exspecially for people with high anxiety and the anxiety brought on by ocd I finally after months of suffering in silence I told my boyfriend of six years he knew that I had ocd or high anxiety cause my fear of contamination was through the roof but then it changed and is still hard for me to say but I know that I went through a phase where I felt like with every obsessive thought I felt I needed to confess I remember having to do that as a child and it passed. but I have a really good friend that I talk to about it rather my boyfriend cause he still don't understand but it helps to have that support! if u need someone to talk to I could do my best to help u through it
