Can’t sleep

@Lili1188 Songs stress me out because I have to restart them from the beginning if I think of any contaminating thoughts during the song. I could maybe try working out a bit though, usually keeps me awake unfortunately

@Jack brown nah bro

@Brooklyn_99 Ok thank you

@LowellT idk that seems really impossible. I never told anyone about my ocd until I got this app yesterday. It’s been plaguing me for 10 years. I can’t ever imagine doing therapy tho. Just wasn’t sure if anyone here knew any tricks that could help.

@lonerjayv3 Yeah maybe. I get stuck in loops a lot and sometimes get really depressed but I will literally do anything but go to therapy or confront my thoughts lmao

@helphelphelphelp I hope you find this app helpful. It does help to know you’re not the only one going through this. We are right there with you knowing the struggle. I understand what you mentioned about therapy. And you asked if there were any tricks that could help. I would recommend contacting NOCD. Their councilors know how to put together a plan for you to say “No” to OCD. For me one thing is checking if things are locked etc. so one of my first ERP homework was not clicking the car lock to hear the horn go, I did that all the time to make sure it was locked. So locking it with the horn going off was difficult. When I went the house if I thought “Did I lock the car doors?” I could not check them. I had get on with my day and let the anxiety go down on its own. Then there were other things for me to work on as well. That is to give you an idea how NOCD can help you. I know the struggle first hand and I still have bad hours but it is worth the fight. It is possible for you to say “No” to OCD 👍a. A call to NOCD could make all the difference. Remember, as you see in this app you are not alone.
