Guys Do u really need therapy to beat ocd. I know therapy can help alot but rn in mine situation There is no way I can access therapy so please if u have any tips to beat ocd without therapy I would love to hear from u. BTW I suffer from real event ocd and maybe false memories ocd. I just want to be happy and live a normal life again 😣😢

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!
