I have insurance that NOCD will take (if that made sense ) but My mom doesn’t wanna get me therapy on this app for some reason… I haven’t ate in 2 days because I’m having all these scary intrusive thoughts 😔 I’m so alone n I have no one to talk to I went to the hospital yesterday and I told them abt my fear of drugs but they never gave any advice or things I could do to end this fear :(
I’m so sorry, you aren’t alone in this. Please take care of yourself 🩷 :( idk of other therapy apps for OCD, but you can find a therapist in your area that may take your insurance: https://iocdf.org/find-help/ It’s super important that you see an ERP specialist bc only they know how to handle OCD effectively. Does your mom know about your OCD? If she needs more information about OCD treatment, please show her these articles.

@blazed Ty I’ll show her 🤍
Why won’t ur mom let you in this app :( I heard good stuff about NOCD
@Anonymous She says she wants to find a therapist in my city but takes forever to do so I’m tired of waiting for help :( I’m mentally drained I love eating it’s my fav thing to do and since I’ve been suffering sm I can’t even do that 😔
NOCD therapists are professional therapists who do ERP training (sometimes through NOCD specifically), but are therapists officially outside of NOCD too, there are some pretty legit ones who also just so happens to work through NOCD. If your insurance words with NOCD and you have OCD idk why y’all wouldn’t use this amazing opportunity to get help? Maybe it seems wierd that it’s therapy via app but this company is legit. Maybe show her some of NOCD’s YouTube’s and how Howie Mandel advocates for them?
@ThisIsNotTikTokOrTwitter I showed her these comments , and she’s gonna call tomorrow , Ty 🤍
I would consider maybe having your mom talk to a NOCD intake specialist. The therapists on here aren't just like NOCD therapists. They are all licensed therapists in the state that you reside in. I'm sure some of them have in person offices as well. They have completed OCD specific training on how to treat OCD with ERP. I don’t think NOCD sends a bunch of people to school and then they work exclusively for them. I imagine they're independent therapists contracted through NOCD. Anyway, maybe explaining this to your mom might help a bit!
@Anon. Okay , I’ll have my mom talk to them they can definitely explain to her better !
Please help me. I have not used this app in months, but I am actually lost. 1.) I have been BEGGING to go back to therapy for my OCD for months. (Around five to six months now) My mom always tells me that she’s doing the best she can or genuinely gets annoyed (it’s like she gets mad when I try to bring it up) the thing is I would understand if she didn’t have the money for me to go back to therapy, but she constant buys food that is the worth of the bill she needs to pay to let me go back into therapy. So basically, she owes my therapist 100 dollars. It’s been six months. She makes a lot of money. She just doesn’t think my OCD is important. 2.) Everything in my life is triggering. It’s to the point where the thought of not doing a compulsion, makes me break down. I try erp, but I don’t think I can without a therapist. I’ve used this app to help me with erp. I need professional help. I feel as if I won’t get help for months ahead. 3.) I am really isolated, and I don’t have a way to socially have contact with irl people. I have a boyfriend and he is pretty much the only person I see outside of family. I’ve been homeschooled for years, so I’ve lost touch with the people I was friends with in school. If I do want to see or do anything (even going to the store for something and sometimes seeing my bf I have to DEEP clean the whole house) the isolation has caused me to not even be able to look at my family in the eyes. I feel so crippled and stuck. What should I do? I’m thinking about telling my mom I need to go to hospital for a long stay. The last time I did that the bill was 12,000, and it was a very traumatic stay, but I am so mentally ill from my OCD. I feel like every option I have is something I’ve tried. Merry Christmas btw if you actually read this. Also you don’t have to pity me or reassure me. If you’d like to comment, please give me advice on how to approach this situation.
Hi, so I’ve been dealing with OCD for the past four years intrusive thoughts and all. At first it started with being scared of panic attacks then the thoughts went to being scared I’d harm myself and now they’re associated around harming other people especially my family which is very very scary. It feels like I’m deeply rooted a bad person. I can’t even tell anyone my thoughts. It also makes me confused on if I want these thoughts. I’m not even sure if I have any compulsions bc I try to just ignore the thoughts and distract myself. Lately I’ve noticed my anxiety getting a lot worse Notjhing seems to calm it down anymore and I just want to stay alone in my bed and make it all go away. I’m scared I’m scared of myself and I’m scared these thoughts could happen one day and I’m scared I want them. Sometimes my thoughts can make me feel like that… does anyone have any good resources im doing ERP but it’s so expensive. I haven’t tried medication but I want to I’m just scared it will make me worse or make me gain weight. But I’m at the point where I’m desperate and something needs to change bc I can’t live like this. I feel like I’m fighting my thoughts all day. And one second I feel confident I’m ok and the next my whole body gets hot and I feel like it’s all possible and I want these thoughts. Someone please give me advice?
Hello everyone I've been suffering with OCD since quarantine; so about 5-ish years. Im now in my first year in college and to be honest I have nothing. No insurance, no job, and no car. Recently ive been going through POCD and its really messing me up a lot. Im scared, worried, and confused because its the opposite of what I visualize myself and my future, which is having a nice house and a family. I recently found out about the NOCD app and I still learning about it. I obviously can't afford therapy at all but I heard that with insurance can cover most of it or even all of the cost of therapy. When I look into it, it turns out theres many insurance providers and I have no clue if there's any that covers therapy or even how to apply for it. So please, can anybody recommend any good insurance providers that can cover therapy?
