Help!

Hi I know how thoughts are so scary and distressing you are not alone I have pure O ,so I know it's hard but tell yourself you are going to sit with this thoughts and let the anxiety go down on its own then this is what I'm doing its helping I hope it helps you if you want to chat I'm here to listen

I would love to chat if you have time

I'm available just message me

Ok I swear I’m not stupid but how do I message you? Lol

I'm sorry I made a mistake, so how long now do you have ocd for if you don't mind me asking

I’ve had it all my life but it didn’t get out of control until about two years ago. I believe I have pure o as well bc my mind obsesses all day long . There are no breaks. It’s all day anxiety

How about you?

I have OCD from 2006 I feel the same my mind just wants to obsess about everything it's hard so are you seeing a therapist

I was but he is no longer working with NOCD . Did anything trigger your ocd? My trigger was after I had a hysterectomy. My whole life changed.

If you don’t feel it’s ok to share that’s fine.

The only time I get relief is when I sleep. And sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night just to obsess it’s like my mind won’t stop. It’s awful. I take medication but i think I need an increase in in dosage.

I had a panic attack when I was in school and that triggered everything my trigger is everything my mind just wants to obesse I also take medication to sleep at night ,I'm trying ERP but it's so hard because I can't get the same level of anxiety as when I get the thought

I can relate to that . It is hard. In the moment of anxiety it sometimes takes all I have just to get through it alive it’s like all I’ve learned through erp goes out the window 😥

How can I support you during this process? Is there anything I can do? I would like to help bc I know how much you are suffering. Do you see a erp therapist?

i understand, at times the thoughts is I'm not getting better that I'm actually getting worse,the only thing I do is I just sit with the thought and let the anxiety go down that to is so hard ,I watch alot of OCD videos and the ones with Patrick margat helps he explains OCD perfectly

Where I stay there is no ERP therapist and I can't afford NOCD as I live in South Africa, the only that I do is the RP response prevention

Oh wow I’m so sorry you don’t have resources available to you. It is very hard, the anxiety is torture. Sometimes I cry all day long.
