ROCD and Support

Honestly, I don't think there is anything more helpful on this journey than having the support of other OCD warriors like yourself! I want to take the time to thank each of you who have shared your story and continue to do so here! We are in this together and we need each other. Today, I would love it if we took the time to support one another! If you can, attend a ROCD support group or comment on this post or someone else's in the community. Let others know that they are not in this alone. We are a community and we are here for each other!

You’re absolutely right. Trying to do this without a support system is really hard which is something that I’m working on building around me at the moment. For everyone who feels like they’re battling alone or even those of us who have ppl around us but feel like suffering in silence is better than burdening your loved ones. You will find acceptance if you just hold on, I believe it in faith for all of us.

Thank you for your openness in sharing! I'm sorry to hear how non-stop your OCD symptoms have been these past 2 years. You have definitely come to the right place and I'm so glad to hear that NOCD has been of help to you. There are so many great support groups, which you can find in the therapy section of the app under exercises, but I highly encourage the "Managing OCD" group!

What if you already have a therapist but want to be in this support group?

Hi gray1! May I ask, is your therapist through NOCD? At this time, our support groups are only available for actively enrolled members. I would highly encourage looking for local support groups in your area using the IOCDF website: https://iocdf.org/ocd-finding-help/supportgroups/.

Is it too expensive? I don't have job right now, or insurance, but I do need the help.

Username: Rebecca FRebecca F

Hi Taurusblack! That is a great question! NOCD does try to keep our cost as affordable as possible. We also offer payment plan options! If you are interested in learning more about our cost and getting connected with care, I would encourage scheduling a free phone call here: treatmyocd.com/calendar.

We are so grateful that you have found the app, Lee! You are right - we are in this together! May I ask, have you considered looking into ERP therapy with NOCD as well? I know you mentioned having hope about feeling better and stopping obsessions over people and situations. ERP has been absolutely life changing for me and I would love to assist you in connecting with a member of our team, if you are interested!

I just lost my best friend I think. I tried really hard to sound happy and go-lucky. When I talked to her a minute ago she was very cool and no love, or even, like, was in her voice.Her voice was just blank, almost monotone. Goodness, my OCD was having a field day with this. I felt like asking OCD questions!I wanted to say R We Still Best Friends, over and over, or tell her I love her and see the response she gives me. Then, full force OCD!!! I just told her “ I love you,” and she said it back the second time I said it. I knew by the churning in my stomach,and by my mind beginning to multiply in thoughts, that I had to end this conversation before it unraveled more than it already was. I am obsessing now about how to get my best friend back, if I’ve lost her. My thoughts are multiplying as I write. I want to call back so much. I feel so incredibly uncomfortable right now. I am doubting things. Like, maybe I should call back, so I need to find a reason to call her. I really need some advice, please. I just feel numb. MAYBE I don’t deserve her as a best friend.

I am sorry you are going through this, Lee! OCD is so tough and it loves to manipulate these situations with doubt. Are you familiar with the SOS feature on the app? I would highly encourage using this to help prevent from falling into any compulsions!

If you have ROCD read this.

I have rocd. It’s the worst feeling being with the love of your life and having these thoughts. I have been with my boyfriend for a year and few months and I just wish this disorder wasn’t even a thing. From the start of us being together I knew and felt he was perfect and EVERYTHING I’ve always wanted. I had thoughts about everything you can name of. If I love him or not, do I like other people instead, if he’s ugly, if I like him only because of his looks, comparing other relationships, if he did one thing off or different question if I really know him, thought he was a different person then what I really knew him for, believing and having the thoughts every single one feel real. It’s a nightmare. Because I would literally die on the instead from telling him these things when he never did anything. I have gotten much better with the love, and looks and all that but there’s always new “targets” as me and him say. It’s like I can never truly run away. I think of how easy it is for others in relationships since they don’t have this and I just want that with him. It’s been a year and a few months and yes we’ve went through hell and back and a lot of things have gotten better but not fully. Hopefully soon enough they will and EVRYTHING will be much better. I just want him. I can’t do anything without him like he’s really the first person I only ever imagined a future with. A future that I wanted to be married and have kids and just live a beautiful life with. I want his pain and suffering to end with all these thoughts he’s heard throughout the year. I never mean to hurt him. I never mean to break him. I just want him. I can’t lose him. If you have ROCD, it’s good your here. Get help, get support, talk to someone about this because it will get better. I’ve had my amazing days. 4 days straight! I never had that before but I lost it and trying to get it back. I know I will, just gotta keep trying hard. My boyfriend helps me so much by supporting and telling me “Your ocd is not you, these thoughts aren’t you, ocd attacks anything you care about.” I couldn’t be more lucky to have him. I’m the luckiest girl alive. He makes me feel that way and I just want this to be over already. I love him so much. Idk if this helps anyone with ROCD, but you’re not alone. Search up videos the help understand, pay attention and watch what you can do to fix it because it is. I’m not there yet but I will not give up, so everyone out there with any type of OCD. We can do this. Confidence is key. Don’t give up. We’re all here to help one another, and ofc regular support with friends family and definitely therapy.
