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.

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.

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.

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.

Yo decidí esperar a poder pagar mis propias terapias, lo doloroso es que mi novia tiene que aguantar mis loqueras mientras tanto

I never heard about people with OCD who have messy living conditions. Maybe this is why it took so long to accept my diagnosis. Although I really dont like how OCD is percieved at by the majority of people, I feel like Im weird or something because I dont fit into that stereotype. I understand that a lot of people with OCD have this issue, but why do I feel so different? If anybody else has/had this belief, what helps with feeling more comfortable? Everytime my mom points out my room, and how its messy- Its like I feel so lazy and useless. So then I often plan out everything I was going to do, step by step, always having a reasoning behind everything, because logic always comforts me. When I start tidying up my room, I go full out (Sheets, Laundry, Clorox, Candles, Vaccuming, Then I start going through the guinea pigs cage to rearranging all of their stuff) Yet always somewhere after doing a few things, I start feeling disgusting and almost shameful of myself. 99% of the time I end up laying on my floor sobbing, noting every little thing about my room. How my furiniture doesnt match, how i would rather have solid floor like hardwood or vinyl instead of the carpet, usually things i cant change… and then barely anything gets done in my room. I start to have a meltdown and often dont take care of myself even more afterwards. A piece of me feels like my thoughts are just me being a spoiled brat and wanting everything i dont have- meanwhile others dont even have a roof over their head. The other piece of me is just tired, just emotionally exaughsted. Please comment any thoughts or recomendations to maybe improve motovation and attitude towards doing long tasks.

I haven't been able to read about experiences similar to mine when it comes to my perfectionism OCD so I was wondering if anyone had any "uncommon" experiences.
