I’ve had false memories ocd before I still have it it’s moved on to a whole new thing. I got over it by my self a long time ago for a certain false memory, it just kind of went away on its own and I realized I didn’t do it. It just kind of hit me one day. When me anxiety was down really low, all the thoughts about false memories made me realized it wasn’t true and it felt so real at the time but now I realize it isn’t . And everyone around me knew as well that it wasn’t . I feel like you just have to get you anxiety down and then you will think more rationally about things

You're Welcome. I did learn that you have access to the groups I mentioned if you complete at least 1 session of therapy with nocd. But you can still access all the YouTube lives.

First of all, I'm sorry you're suffering. I've been there—as so many of us in this group have—and it just sucks. Secondly, if you are unable to access therapy, I highly recommend the groups. They are free. https://www.treatmyocd.com/support-groups Here is one happening today that might help: https://www.treatmyocd.com/support-groups/1068 Additionally, there are livestreams every day with therapists and advocates so you can watch replays or hop onto a live and ask questions. You'll find those here: https://www.treatmyocd.com/support-groups/1068 And if you are not already following NOCD on Instagram, I recommend that as well. They just posted a book list you might be interested in. :)

Hi there! Yes ERP is the gold treatment for OCD, in my opinion a person with OCD does need to do ERP therapy. Have you reached out to nocd? They offered me a payment plan which I was able to do and learn how to do ERP on my own. If that is not an option for you right now I would suggest coming to groups which you can sign up for on the NOCD app for no charge or I would suggest to watch the Weekly live streams on Youtube. Some of my favorite youtube streams would be Dr. McGrath, Jena Overbaugh or NOCD advocate Carl Cornett. Lots of great things out there that you can personally access. Good luck to you!

I had to cancel my therapy because it was no longer available with my insurance. And I just kind of feel hopeless with OCD. Even when I was doing therapy, I think my OCD started getting too complicated for my therapist and she didn’t even know what to do. My fears are so complex it’s crazy. So my big fear is my OCD being bad and being super depressed again like I was a few months ago in high school. I attended a public highschool for a semester and started the worst flare up I’ve ever had. I was harshly bullied for no reason whatsoever, and not accepted by anyone. I am an athletic kid who usually keeps to himself so I didn’t understand why people targeted me, especially when I wanted nothing to do with them. From August to now ( March) I CANNOT grasp hold of my OCD. I am very hard on myself about it. Going into dangers anytime I see one so I can expose myself. But constantly obsessing about if I’m doing enough for my OCD. And comparing myself to how I use to be, before the flare ups. From the moment I wake up to the moment I go to sleep I’m obsessing about my OCD and if it’s bad and comparing. Another HUGE fear of mine is being treated differently because I have OCD. So being bullied for so long I always assumed it was because I was shy and didn’t want to stand up for myself - due to my OCD- so I blamed myself for everything that continued to happen, . from people bullying me in the past . The people at that highschool were downright crazy. Even the teachers and coaches had major issues and I’m so glad to be out of there, but I still obsess the same everyday and hold so much resentment for that school and when I try to let it go, I just feel more passive pain and obsess even more about it weather my ocd is okay or not. I feel mentally sick. Please someone give me some advice for my fears, because I feel like I’m doing everything in my power to expose myself to everything but nothings working.

I’m a good man and I know that. My OCD revolves around relationships. While dating someone a truly enjoy, I find myself needing to compulse everything on my mind or else I feel like I’m being a liar or keeping secrets. I also am pretty confident I suffer from false memory ocd. I don’t like to put a label on things but I’m 99.9% sure I do. My compulsions a lot of times come from things I’m not even sure are real. The more thought I put into them, the more I start to believe they are real. One of the worst compulsions I had in my relationship was I had a thought “what if I find my ex more attractive” and “what if I thought the sex with them was better”. I ended up compulsing these things to my gf. After lots of time to think and get a ahold of myself I was able to remind myself that these things weren’t true and I was just in a downward spiral. There was a 2-3 month period where every time I was relieved of something then I would instantly think of something else. These compulsions have caused insecurity in my gf and I feel like a terrible person. Never meant to hurt her at all and was just trying to find a sense of relief. While I know it is not true, I can’t fix things with words and I feel terrible. I would love to hear from people with tricks and strategies that can help. I love my gf and want to fix things and understand this is not a relationship fixer app but I would like to know what are some ways you are able to deal with these kind of things.

I really do want to go to therapy or psychiatrist to diagnosed my OCD and give me a treatment but it costs a lot. OCD ruins my life and consumes my mind I wish I can take a break from my own brain. Having OCD but undiagnosed feels like I’m crazy because people think I made that up but they don’t know how I’m struggling since I was a kid. So anyone have an advice for treat OCD especially checking OCD that doesn’t cost money? because I don’t work yet..🥲
