Please be considerate in your responses. I'm having a really rough time and the last thing I need is for something to chastise or judge me.
I am in my 9th or 10th session of therapy which my family can barely afford. I have OCD and I have a huge problem with people (especially my brother) getting sick. Now that Christmas is around the corner, I'm terrified that my brother will get sick and will do his usual coughing that, for some reason, bothers me to an extreme. I feel that, even though therapy doesn't have a time limit, I should be noticing some improvement by now. I was hoping that by now I would not be so bothered by these things, but today I really flipped out and panicked. My mom keeps questioning my progress and my therapist, saying that maybe she isn't the right one for me. But we can't afford anyone else and I do not want to resort to medication. I feel so utterly helpless. If a professional can't help me, what else can I do?
