Hi! I’ve had HOCD for over a year now. I understand how you feel when there are two different voices speaking to you in your head, one that reflects your morals and character, and the other who taunts you with thoughts that go against all of that. I know this is easier said than done, but what has worked for me is when I have these thoughts I say “I’m having an intrusive thought, take some deep breaths and sit with that anxiety, and then move on to what I was doing before the intrusive thought happened.” Start with small steps, maybe you practice not giving in to compulsions for 30min, then move up slowly to half the day, the whole day, etc. Everyone is different, so whatever works best for you is great. You got this!

@hvn I get that! Try your best not to research things too much. It can be a compulsion to seek reassurance. Have you seen a NOCD Therapist?

@hvn If you check with your Insurance Company to see if NOCD is in network, it could just be a copay you have to pay each time. You could then see a Therapist with a schedule that works best for you!

@hvn Well, I had rocd thoughts in the relationship. And when we broke up (he broke up with me) my thoughts were still there and it kept me from being sad but then after a while the sadness was stronger than the thoughts and evertything came out. Now it has switched to soocd and the rocd thoughts sometimes still comes but then more as, your less sad about him now, guess I’m in to girls then. So it is horrible because deep down I know these thoughts are ridiculous and I’m just still not over my ex but these thoughts keep me from healing or someting
