Help talking to parents?

[amandaisnotcoolxx]

Okay. It's taken a lot of thinking and a lot of research and I honestly think that I have ocd. I just need to make sure and hopefully see a therapist. My only problem is, I don't want to tell my parents. They are very unaware of what ocd truly is and they are the type of people that if you seem to know more about something than THEY do, and you try to tell them about that subject, they get very pissed and start yelling, thinking that you are treating them like they are stupid. How on earth am i supposed to tell them about it? Please help me out? I don't know how to talk to them about this in general

It is very hard for people that don't have OCD to understand it.  We usually get the "just stop thinking about it" line.  Obviously if we could we would.  Anyway, since I have OCD it would be much easier for me to get what my kids are saying if they were to come to me with a problem.  

I'm thinking that perhaps you could start with your primary care physician and explain what is going on.  From there they can refer you to a psychologist.  Do you think your parents would believe what the doctor says more than you?
