I Once Broke Up With a Therapist Because She Would Not Assess Me for Psychosis: My OCD Story

Finally, one day I demanded she assess me for psychosis, but she just kept insisting, “this is anxiety. you’re not psychotic.”

Here’s the thing: she wasn’t wrong. But she missed something big.

That anxiety was OCD. And I was in a debilitating cycle of obsessions and compulsions that was in fact making me feel like I was losing my frickin’ mind and only confirming my deepest fear: that I’d lose control.
