Positive vibes sent your way. Think positive. Get rid of negativity by changing your thoughts. Try writing in a journal and start by saying Dear journal Today I feel…. I wish you much luck in feeling like yourself again. ❤️

You got this, I felt the same for a bit but sticking to my treatment and trusting on the process has helped me. Also an amino acid I take for relaxing and focus is L theanine helps a lot

I think the hard times in life come and go. We continue to learn so things that were hard to handle when we were younger become much easier. So much has changed in my lifetime so far - it’s possible new treatments, new discoveries will emerge but for now there is a ton of hope, yes it’s lots of hard work but it will get easier if we focus on each moment that’s in front of us and the power we have over it. Keep holding on, keep preparing yourself for you’re future self. Sending you lots of well wishes.

I can relate to this completely, and I promise that things will get better! You’re only 14, so 1) not many things have opened up to you yet and 2) your brain is still developing. I’m only 17, and I’ve started seeing how much better things can get as my brain matures and as exciting things come up for me like driving and working. For the first time in a very long time, I’m actually making progress and doing EXCITING things like spending time with my friends, getting my license, and working. Your OCD will lose power as your brain becomes stronger and as you come to realize how much more there is to life than making OCD feel safe.

are the therapists here actually reliable???
I feel really scared and worried that the therapist I find on NOCD might not be effective, and instead of getting better, I might end up feeling worse. I’m afraid that if I don’t feel any progress, I’ll want to switch therapists, but my mom might get impatient with me. I worry that she’ll lose faith in therapy, stop paying for it, and think it’s a waste of time and money. I know therapy takes time and it’s not a quick fix, but I’m scared that things won’t go the way I hope. What if I don’t connect with the therapist? What if they don’t understand my OCD as well as I need them to? I’ve already been struggling so much, and the thought of going through another disappointment is exhausting. I’m only 14, and I feel stuck because I can’t manage this on my own. I need help, but I also need my mom to stay patient and supportive through this process. I’m scared that if things don’t improve fast enough, she’ll give up on paying for therapy. I don’t know what to do, and it’s making me feel really anxious. I just want to get better, but what if nothing works out?
