(Anonymous) 2014-11-17 12:52 am (UTC)(link)I wanted to write a longer comment but I don't really have time, nor the knowledge of OCD to be truly helpful but I'm sure you've worried about being a burden on your "Anna's" of the world so aren't a monster in spite of what the obsessions are telling you. I suggest you talk with your therapist or someone and stick to the corners of fandom that have an understanding of it. (don't debate it until you're in a better mental health place yeah?) I would talk to your therapist about these things and work on it like any obsession. Also if you're not getting help, advocate until you do get help–– I didn't realize that I could. It might not be possible or you to but unless it's absolutely impossible then I'd recommend doing it. You need a therapist that gets you, your issues, and will provide adequate therapy- it's very difficult to find therapists that specialize in specific issues like OCD and are covered by insurance etc etc. I would just stick to the understanding part of fandom and work on your coping mechanism for dealing with obsessions about this and the larger issues here.
tldr: this is beyond fandom and you need some kind of support and I'm a random on fandomsecrets that cannot actually help (nor do I have ocd/nor understand it) but I hope you do have/get support and that things improve. And i hope the obsession flare up about this stops.

(Anonymous) 2014-11-17 06:14 am (UTC)(link)I'm in therapy, but the sessions didn't line up with a fairly bad spike, resulting in the secret. You pretty much got all of the problems right, and it's kind of a relief to see a sane perspective on the complications. Thank you. Sincerely.
