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?
