The only supplement that “might” help is vitamin D, but you can get that by going outside into the sun. When you have a very loose routine OR no routine at all, depression gets worse. I used to have no routine at all when I started college and that made me miss classes, not shower, not eat, etc. It was only when I switched therapists that I was told I need a routine and to schedule in going outside as vital to lower my depression symptoms.

Thank you for commenting, my boyfriend has left his job due to his boss making his ocd worse and he felt like he needed time off I have noticed he’s more depressed since leaving work but ocd a lot better , he’s in a position where he dosent have to work and he’s staring his own cleaning company when he’s better he dosent want to go back to work till his ocd is better he’s said and I really struggle getting him up and out on my days off any advice ?

He needs to get his butt out of bed, shower, and put on clothes. Creating a small business is difficult and it’s hard work too.

Medication for OCD?
Medication for OCD? Hello all, 19 male here, this seems like a cool community that isn’t nearly as triggering as reddit. I have pretty severe bouts of existential thinking or fear of going crazy ( psychosis ) after some pretty heavy mushroom trips a few years ago, I know logically I should be fine but I do know what it’s like to lose it and it’s scary. Currently I deal with relationship focused OCD, it’s all day from before I even open my eyes. I want things to work out with my girlfriend badly. Also I can come close to a panic attack sometimes which perpetuates everything. Anyway, I mention the fear of going crazy because the way my anxiety/derealization makes me feel is that I’m not mentally stable cause I feel out of it or unreal. I saw that a lot of anxiety and depression medication can cause psychosis and I feel like I could use some help in getting ahead of my OCD because the compulsions are had not to give into when I’m in such distress/not knowing. Plus overall I just feel like I have no idea how I feel about close to anything. Anyone relate about that ?

New diagnosis
I just got diagnosed with ocd and she suggested I think about taking lexapro for it. Has anybody tried that and does it help at all?

Medication or treatment?
I understand that everyone is different but lately I have been debating on medication just because of past experiences but does anyone have any good experiences with medication that has helped them with their OCD as well as therapy or treatment? As of now I’m dealing with it by myself but it feels like it may be getting worse
