I'm dutch too. Our system sucks, I've also been waiting since april/march I think (on a list) and finally I heard I need to wait 3 more months.

To clarify that's been 7 months of waiting. And honestly I still do not believe it until I see it as my experiences with mental health services has been that they usually do not keep their word with waiting lists, calling or emailing back, etc. Most frustrating field ever I swear.

Hah my doctor lacks empathy personally. Once I get into treatment in the clinic I'll switch doctors, he is known to be uhh very much not a people person lmao. Won't switch now though because I know it is already a mess with the paperwork as it is and switching doctors would complicate that even more. Seriously I had an intake with a clinic, asked multiple times if the other party had sent their stuff to them, and when I arrived there for the intake they said 'We don't have your information and cannot treat you or start without it'. I don't know if I am super unlucky or if administration is some type of rocket science because my god, I have so many stories about paperwork just not being delivered/provided when necessary.

I feel like it's got to a point that I just can't deal with stuff on my own anymore. I've tried to help myself with compulsions and thoughts and behaviours and it helps to an extent but I feel like I just need more help. But I don't even know where to start, I've felt so ignored in the past and I don't even know where you can turn to. I'm in the UK so it's difficult, especially considering I'm only 17, to get any help for this kind of thing. I just want someone to talk to, something to help – medication, maybe? I want to try it, I want to see if it would stop the overthinking for a while. Stuff isn't as bad as it has been before, but I feel like I can't just leave this anymore. I just don't know who to turn to or where to go from here.

Hi, I don’t know what to do anymore Pocd kills me I had many themes before but this theme is the hardest for me. I’m tired. I’m on therapy and meds but I barely do erp . I don’t have a reason I just don’t want to do it but today I will because I have to. I’m taking meds and they help with the anxiety for sure. But the obsessive part is still here . I’m almost 2 months on it (40 mg on Prozac) but I’m still super obsessed like I can have thoughts 24/7 every second of the day and not leave me alone. I have experienced a thought right now for a month + . It’s a thought to do compulsion/urge. My therapist says to let go and gives me tips how to she also tell me to do more erp. But I have this thought to do compulsion for more then month. Im scared what if I don’t have ocd the thought is 24/7. Do you think I should switch meds im so tired.

I feel like in some ways receiving a diagnosis for OCD has in some ways made things worse. I’ve always had what I called “phases” throughout life, which I now know were ocd episodes, but I didn’t really make too much of them and even if it was over several long difficult months, they’d always seem to kind of just pass. Recently I’ve begun my worse flare up in the last few years and now that I’m older I seemed professional help which led to my diagnosis. This all sounds great of course but I can’t actually afford therapy right now so I kinda just have the diagnosis but not the support so now that I realize these phases are actually this incurable mental illness I just feel like I’ve lost all hope that I’ll ever be happy and I feel like I basically obsess about obsessing at this point and it just sucks. Has anyone else had this or a similar experience?
