He Roux! I would suggest depending in your level of functionality to find a project, maybe something relativity simple to focus on or even take on a small job if you are able., it could help give you something to do/focus on other than OCD/treatment, and give you a bit of confidence. Also maybe see some friends and just hang out (you dont have to tell them what has been going on), or maybe spend some time with family (perhaps take up a project with family). Importantly, be kind too yourself. :) If you can, a pet may help :) At least these are some of the things I did when I got out of the hospital. As for books: I have Scrupulosity OCD, I this book is kindof geared towards that type but it was really great for me, it is called "The Doubting Disease: Help for Scrupulosity and Religious Compulsions" by Joseph W. Ciarrocchi.

Definitely use this app, read NOCD articles, look at the IOCDF website, and look at OCD accounts on IG/YT. Itās so important to learn how OCD works and how itās treated! You also need to be able to recognize OCDās tactics and thoughts and the importance of not seeking reassurance. You have to train your brain to look for things that are OCD (e.g. reassurance seeking). If you donāt know how to treat it and if you donāt understand your OCD, OCD can grow.

Hi I kept seeing this app on repeat on TikTok over and over and I thought I give it a shot. I have never been diagnosed with OCD but I know that I have it. Iām a young adult and I found out the first time I had OCD was watching lelelons truth video? I was 14 at the time She had to resist sitting back down in a chair after her having sat down she started having a mental break down when she was told to resist. Thatās when I knew. It started with myself going up and down a staircase twice buckling unbuckling my seat belt everytime Iām in the car ect I have always been super anti social but trying my best I can socialize but my mind wants to make it sexual with family and friends ughhhh I hate it because thatās not me when I graduated thoughts of hurting my loved ones corrupted my mind I broke down outside of church one time asking if this was really me or not i question if Iām a good enough friend or person in this world to begin with thinking everyone is judging me so so close how can I make this situation better did I do something wrong I struggle with depression as well not to bad but itās there I come from a loving family but broken as well i believe in god and my OCD makes me go often heās not real that stuff isnāt real no one is there to save you the list goes on. Anyway I struggle a lot and I really hope that this will help me because I feel extremely hopeless. Lucky for me I do have the ability to seek therapy and I am excited. The only person I ever tell my thoughts to is God no other human has heard so Iām really really hoping this helps me out if your reading this thank you it means a lot because this is my first time ever admitting all this itās a lot to take in I know and I hope you are ok and that you have a great night and know that we got this

Hey friends, I hope you all are well. I just wanted to check in and ask people's experiences about being on medication. I have had OCD pretty much my whole life, just got recently diagnosed 4 months ago and my therapist recommended that I get on meds for it so I have a psychiatrist appointment set up. I'm a little apprehensive about getting on them, but I've realized that I do have some sort of chemical imbalance in my brain that plays a part in my OCD and anxiety. I would love to hear anyones experiences or words of encouragement. Thank you, I hope you all are well.
