I I’m with you. And relate to you. Sending you strength blessings hope and love forever and always. It’s a hard journey but so worth it. As I have found even the hardest of times. Can be the most beautiful. Especially with those we love. Let the light come through the cracks. I hope you can get to a point where the darkness doesn’t define you but makes the light brighter. You will get there. I have hope. We will do it together.

I do rituals and mental ocd all day to I’ve been changeing my clothes and showering the same way for 15 years sometimes when I’m better it doesn’t bother me as much but I’ve still had to do them it was just a little bit easier and my other ocd was easier to I’m hopeing to get on medication soon when I can find a doctor and I hope I can get a therapist to that can help wit my ocd and I get ssi for my ocd it’s been really hard and I don’t have anyone to tlk to that actually understands me I’m trying to get into an inpatient place cause I had a big ocd trigger a few weeks ago and it’s been really hard on me but it’s hard to go to the hospital when they gotta touch your stuff and have you do stuff that you can’t cause of your ocd and noone there understand your ocd so your just kind of left there feeling like crap and trying to get better but can’t perform your rituals and I have contamination ocd and some of the contamination ocd is wit stuff that’s not dirty I just have to wash my hands when I touch certain things not just dirty stuff but I try tlk to my bf and other ppl bout it and they just don’t understand the way it feels when you can’t perform a ritual and wat it feels like all day to have ocd and that it’s really debilitating I’m very lonely and depressed and I wish I had some friends wit ocd I could actually tlk to.

Anyone out there have ocd where everything you do throughout the day involves a ritual? I have a ritual for laying in my bed, if I touch the covers a certain way I have to continuously touch them with my left and then my right arm and then touch them to each part of my clothing. I have a ritual for getting out of bed, washing my face, getting dressed, going to the bathroom, showering, you name it. Lately I began liking a boy and the uncertainty and anxiety I feel about it has me spazzing out with excess ritualistic behavior. The type of compulsions I have are things such as - touching the cabinet 7 times or doing everything with my right ring finger touching the object ( such as putting the keys in the door, applying makeup, anything has to be with my right hand with my ring finger touching) this has been going on since I was 8 and I’ve gone to countless therapists and am currently on Prozac which has helped to an extent, but I’d like to see if there’s anyone out there with similar rituals or any advice? Also, every time I try to stop my rituals and like quit my ocd cold turkey SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS and just further perpetuates my fear and makes the OCD stronger ;(

My name is Chrisa. I've suffered with OCD for over 30 years. It's gotten worse lately, especially since my elderly kitty has gotten very sick, plus other stressors. It's never been this bad. My rituals involve numbers, counting, among other things, in response to stress and the thoughts of preventing my cats death and other "bad" things from happening. I know there is no logic in this, it's ridiculous, it makes no sense, yet my brain feels what I call " hijacked". There are few people that know I have OCD. My own husband doesn't know. I've learned how to hide it well over the years after being ridiculed by family members when I was a child with OCD symptoms. I'm in a tremendous amount of distress. No drugs have worked for me, nor has RBT or CBT.

Those with Harm OCD
Hey guys. I’ve been dealing with Harm OCD for around 3 and 1/2 months now, and it’s been extremely difficult to experience. I’ve had OCD my whole life and some of my family members do as well, one of my cousins actually has the same main subtype as me, but he was diagnosed almost a year ago when I didn’t have it myself. I’ve been going to an OCD & Anxiety Treatment Center the past week and I’m really struggling with the exposures we do there, as well as the ones we do at home. I constantly feel like I’m judging myself and I genuinely feel worthless, like I’m a horrible person to have unwanted intrusive thoughts like these. I feel like it’s so difficult to stay mindful and to not judge any of the thoughts that surface. Those with Harm OCD, have any of you here gone from debilitating OCD to living fulfilling lives? If so, what was the process like for you, if you’d like to share? Thanks and I hope you’re all doing well, or are continuing to improve.
