Insurance

Can you please please please accept Medicaid soon. I feel I have no where else to go. I need help asap. I feel like I’m running out of options but I do my best to take care of myself day by day. But I’m so sick of my ocd and I really need to work with someone who understands and can help. I’ve been working so hard for so many years and still struggle….. please make this more available it’s so needed. The lack of accessibility to adequate services is really frustrating

Same. I can’t afford ERP. It’s frustrating. The only therapist I know that does is fully booked. Not taking any new patients.

You should read the creators post at top of page he went threw the same thing and created this app to help now look at all the ppl suffering as many mental health places and hospitals there are they need to get more ocd doctors and therapists in there so we can get treated to they all list ocd as wat they can treat only cause they can prescribe medications they don’t even understand ocd though and everything that comes wit ocd like I have ocd but I also have agoraphobia and anxiety attacks panick attacks I can’t do shit for myself like give me a xanex so I can go grocery shopping.

I have had ocd for along time I had no childhood no normal high school experiences no work experiences I’ve just been trying to get better all these years and appear normal to try to have some kind of similar normal kid experiences that everyone else was haveing instead of spending hours on simple homework riteing and reriteing till I eventually had to get a tutor to help me but I was still spending hours on the homework simple homework but my ocd made me feel like I was not riteing the letters rite and going over the same letters another thing is I was spending 2 hours in the shower doing order and symmetry stuff and getting that just rite feeling so I was busy wit ocd others were being a kid and it sucks im now 29 and still haveing issues I’m on ssi and make 500 something dollars a month there’s no security in that I can’t live on my own and can’t even begin to explain the life I’ve had cause of my ocd and a couple months ago I learned bout exposure and response prevention I read ppl posts and other ppl story’s that were exactly like mine doctors and therapists don’t understand ocd and that’s who was treating all of us and I just think that should be illegal for doctors to not understand and continue to prescribe medications when do they tell the patient there’s specific ocd help out there and refer them somewere else cause I’ve never had anyone tell me that I could’ve gotten help years ago the help that I actually needed I could’ve had a different life not filled with ocd but these hospitals and doctors and therapists chose to keep me and treat me when they shouldn’t have and now I’m trying to get help and can’t cause nowere in Tennessee accepts my insurance and there’s not even any inpatient ocd places here and it’s so common for ocd sufferers to not get help cause there’s just not alot of help out there it’s crazy I can’t get help even though I’m begging for it all cause of my insurance and it’s 40000 dollars a month at an inpatient place who the fuck can afford that this is all rediculous.

I Tried.

NOCD doesn’t accept Medicaid in NC.. I feel helpless. I have nothing, no job.. no money that can afford this therapy and I really made myself vulnerable to the sweetest woman just listening to me cry about my OCD and how it effects my life.. Just to be told that I’m not able to be helped. This is probably why my parents pretended I didn’t have mental issues, we just couldn’t afford it. ..I can’t afford anything. Even my life.

Insurance recommendations / can't afford therapy

Hello everyone I've been suffering with OCD since quarantine; so about 5-ish years. Im now in my first year in college and to be honest I have nothing. No insurance, no job, and no car. Recently ive been going through POCD and its really messing me up a lot. Im scared, worried, and confused because its the opposite of what I visualize myself and my future, which is having a nice house and a family. I recently found out about the NOCD app and I still learning about it. I obviously can't afford therapy at all but I heard that with insurance can cover most of it or even all of the cost of therapy. When I look into it, it turns out theres many insurance providers and I have no clue if there's any that covers therapy or even how to apply for it. So please, can anybody recommend any good insurance providers that can cover therapy?
