Hello: I finally told my GP abut my truly wicked and degusting intrusive thoughts, thinking he’d refer me to some kind of specialist. But nope. He doesn’t think I have ocd and told me something like my thoughts do not determine who I am, even though the thoughts tell me I am them, which is very frightening. Perhaps I should find a new GP? Or come on stronger, like telling him my worst underlying fear is that I’ll lose control and act out things like in my thoughts.
Thankfully, I know that the thoughts don’t have total control of me, however it will be extremely unlikely that I tell him about those thoughts, because I care so much about what other people think of me, even my GP. It’s not easy to get help for ocd on the NHS, is it? And after seeing my GP, my worry and anxiety about the thoughts make me MORE stressed. because he just doesn’t understand. That adds to me worrying and worrying that there is no one out there who can help , Anything suggestions what I should do?
