Idont241, it has its ups and downs. I'm sure I've had one of the worst cases, and yet I have managed to enjoy most my life even after having Hocd.
I'm Brazilian, and also dealing with hocd
Hang up in there brothers. I consider my case to be a particular and complicated one. Even rare among the HOCD cases. I don't want to detail it here only because I know it can be triggering for some to read. But what I can say is that a I have managed to live with HOCD, fall deeply in love with my current girlfriend, and enjoy sex with her in a way that my HOCD would've make me think I couldn't (very fulfilling). What I mean is, however you feel today, it's your OCD. You can and you will get better. And yes, I have my downs, like the past few weeks, but I keep going and I expect to always get better because OCD can make me doubt of myself, but it cannot convince me that I'm not the person I was before HOCD and even with HOCD.
Trust me, it might feel like there isn’t any in your country, but there is! Look further in! I actually found 2 and i live in Ecuador, Ecuador is such a small country, and I don’t even live on the capital. Trust me, google google google!
Or any latin country?
I'm dominican. Battling with HOCD...
I am Ecuadorian! Also battling with hocd..
I'm in for the group chat! I understand how that is. I've searched and haven't found one single ocd specialist in Brazil. When I told my mom I wanted to set an appointment with an American therapist, she said no. So I'm here untreated, and I refuse to go to a non specialist. It's hard.
Anyone who wants to be in the group chat dm me at my ig @gabrielterrero_2805
Who whants to make a groupchat?
I say it because i know how complicated it can be to have ocd in latin america, the reason i asked about dominican with ocds its because in the DR the illness is practically unexisting, every therapist i go either tries to take the gay away (with pills and mindfullnes) or tries to make come out the closet whenever say i think i have ocd, withou even evaluating me on the matter
Gracias por tus palabras, nunca creí que nadie respondiera y menos que otro dominicano tenga hocd, me encantaria conocer las experiencias que viven otros latinos en paises donde la enfermedad es practicamente inexistente.
Bueno, googlie y googlie hasta encontrar una especialista, también con ayuda de mis papas, conseguí otra. Enserio solo toma mucha investigación. La verdad es que la forma y estado en que vivo soy muy afortunada. Por eso, tomo un poco menos encontrar ayuda. Yo se que a veces puedo constar mucho, pero es hasta encontrar al especialista perfecto. Yo ahorita estoy con una, y si está no funciona, tengo justo a otra en fila. Enserio, hasta en tiempos donde parece que no vas a encontrar ayuda, si hay. Ecuador es un país chiquitito, y si había! Enserio, tengan esperanza, y sigan buscando, porque la ayuda está cerca!
Yo decidí esperar a poder pagar mis propias terapias, lo doloroso es que mi novia tiene que aguantar mis loqueras mientras tanto
Tal vez, sólo ir a la primera? No se si tienes seguro o si eso las paga. Bueno, en algunos casos si. Si, si te entiendo. Hay aplicaciones como Headspace, que tienen no tan caro. Y además puedes escoger que idiomas quieres que hablen!
Does anyone ever have ocd having to do with religion, like Christianity?
Does anyone have an eating disorder and OCD?
Anyone here with religious ocd?
