Takes guts and courage man especially when we are dealing with illness that mentally exhausts you. I was thinking of inpatient for myself, im in a really deep hole, how is it like there and how does it work.

@Broidontknow So you literally have to live there for x amount of time? That must cost alot for someone without insurance too then

I think it's awesome and brave of you to go back and try again! Congrats on staying a week +. Maybe if you tell yourself that you will do the program for your parents then it will become easier and you will eventually get more comfortable and then be able to do it for yourself. Just an idea. May not be a good one lol. I can only imagine how hard it must be. Sounds like a great opportunity. I wish you the best. Sending good vibes your way!

It’ve been through two residential programs, two partial hospitalization programs, and one intensive outpatient program. I understand. It’s incredible where I am where I am today honestly. At my worst I could barely do anything at all. I couldn’t read or write or talk without breaking down. Couldn’t say few words without compulsing about how my words weren’t perfect enough. But here I am now. If I can get better you can too!

What is the name of the OCD inpatient facility if you don’t mind sharing. I’ve been looking for one myself, I haven’t gotten a response back yet. I need help for my existential ocd it’s gotten ridiculous.

Not super ocd related but I will be staying at a treatment center for mental health soon and I'm looking forward to nit being stuck at home where I have loads of ocd triggers. I know avoidance isn't the best and honestly leaving home for a month or two might make it harder to deal with when I come back but honestly I need a break, I feel trapped here and my mum hates dealing with me and my shitty brain so it's best for all of us if I go away for a bit. Am I the only one who's contamination ocd is worse at home because I hold more value over my room? Like everywhere in the house and even parts of my room are infected but the clean parts need to stay clean but if I'm in public on a random chair I don't care because it's not my chair

since february i have "POcd". Initial symptoms were thoughts, but then I did a testing compulsion during an intimate time, and I spiraled ever since. I struggle with addiction to smut. I'm cutting that out, but I feel as if it is too late. Ive never experienced this much mental, and emotional anguish in my life. On my time on this application I have given advice to others, and helped around, but I wonder if that even applies to me. Millions of times I wish I could turn back time and be more careful. I want to prevent many things, including what led me to spiral into OCD in the first place. I'm surely having an OCD episode. I have gotten a diagnosis, but I'm still not sure. I feel evil, cause unlike many here, I tested on my body sensations and it backfired (twice) I know I'm not supposed to figure out why that is the case, but now I have to live with it for the rest of my life even if its something I don't desire. This is disgusting for me, it is abhorrent. I could've never seen this coming. Day by day I've become more fearful of living with this, "OCD". I was a normal person before this, I knew what I was attracted to, I know my preferences, so why did this come about? This is singlehandedly the most painful thing that has happened to me and I have nobody but myself to blame. I am scared of death but I also would'nt mind sleeping for years on end. My parents and brother were understanding of my situation, but I failed them regardless. I don't want them to see me this way, nor do I want them to learn more of my predicament. I'm cooked. I know it, Fin, thats all folks. I'm only 20 and I already have other diagnosed mental illness so I recklessly brought upon myself another one. Its agonizing to live through, I wish this on nobody, not even my worst enemy. I can't even identify myself at this point. Its tearing me apart.

I went in to a psychiatric hospital 2 days ago for help with OCD and the anxiety relating to it. I did this voluntarily because the anxiety was a lot. I ended up being bunked with drug addicts who talked about violent topics all day and it just made my OCD worse because the staff didn't care at all about anything but the people on drugs. I went in to get help and I feel like I was just treated like a prisoner and none of the people there were knowledgeable of OCD like their website claimed... I just needed to vent. It's been a long 2 days and I'm sick of "professionals" knowing absolutely nothing about OCD and how painful it can be...
