As a cautionary tale from someone who spent the past 10+ years a dedicated meditator I would strongly encourage you to research the potential adverse side effects of meditation before proceeding. Even daily use of meditation apps can bring on unwanted experiences and people with OCD appear to be predisposed to these. If you have experienced existential or somatic themes you stand the risk of revisiting them in a very intense way. Meditation can be extremely relaxing and helpful for a period of time and then out of nowhere everything changes. This isn’t guaranteed and many will never experience these aspects of the practice. However, please take the time to visit the following website and familiarize yourself with the potential side effects and read people’s personal stories. I’m happy to answer questions you may have. I stopped meditating this past January and have experienced a significant reduction in OCD symptoms as well as freedom from extended episodes of depression and heightened anxiety. Please take good care of yourself. https://www.cheetahhouse.org/

My partner has severe OCD
Hello i got this app hoping to maybe find some support for my partner i thought about reddit but reddit has become a hateful place and i figured this is a safe place. i love my partner more than anything and he’s been struggling with OCD his whole life he has a hard time talking about it with anyone because it’s too painful he’s stated that it’s gotten worse as he’s gotten older His biggest issue right now is overwhelming thoughts of his actions having tragic outcomes and being unable to stop these obsessive thoughts (such as needing to check out door handle 5 times to make sure it’s locked but still panicking that it’s unlocked) he’s not open to one on one therapy or meds although he loves learning and watching informative videos i fear he’s afraid to confront his OCD or just afraid nothing will help i really wanna help him live a stress free and happy life he deserves it would anyone possibly have any ways to naturally help with OCD or recommend any great individuals that could share techniques on managing OCD or helping your partner with OCD? i would very much appreciate it!

Trying not to think of intrusive thoughts
I been dealing with OCD my entire life but recently I been finding it really difficult to find the slightest relief. I know it’s not good to do but I been trying not to think of the thoughts but of course they come back even stronger. Does anyone know what I could do in the meanwhile ? Thank you

Medication or supplements
Hiii - hope everyone is having a good day! Has anyone found any type of medication or supplements helpful with thinking sooo deeply about everything and intrusive thoughts? I’m in therapy + doing erp but my brain in this relapse of ocd just thinks sooo deep into my brain and i can’t seem to not to do it pull myself out. Like I’m just paranoid. An example would be if i simply look at my arm I’ll think so deeply about it like what’s under my arm what’s it look like inside etc. but if anyone not in this cycle looks at their arm they’ll be like hmm ok cool my arm and move on w their day. Just looking to see if anyone has had a similar experience of what I’m feeling rn.
