Same. Seems like I'm resistant to meds. It was suggested to try TMS. Not sure what to do.

There is no such things as “treatment resistant” No matter what fancy phrases people will throw around. Just not the right fit or match of various ingredients that need to come together to help you. Don’t give up, and remember that OCD can latch onto therapy itself. These things take time. I’ve been with NOCD for a long time. I have a lot of mental health issues. I take medicine for one of them. Do I feel significant progress? No. Do I feel real defeated and am I still struggling? Yes. But I definitely am not where I was a few years ago, and when I look back with more perspective I can see that change was happening that I couldn’t see when I was so close up to it. There is always hope, rheee are always options. And it’s not going to be “one fix”. One pill or one therapy modality or one therapist. It’s a combination of things. And sometimes foraging those things into just the right care basket will take time, unfortunately.

I do agree it takes time, I've had OCD 30yrs so i know that very well but i do believe everyone is different & people respond differently to things because I've seen it repeatedly over the years. Some improve" while some Do not for different reasons in different people. I know 100% meds didn't help me i tried over a decade of every pill they gave me so I'm trying therapy now and not stopping therapy but it has helped very little. Again, for others therapy helps alot. It just depends, we all struggle differently and can recover differently too. So its important not to judge, keep open mind and we do our best, all of us👍

@Stefanie280 - I wasn't judging, and was just attempting to share some hope ... as someone who has also has OCD for well over 30 years and still struggles with a lot that is debilitating. 🙏I respect your experience and view point🙏 that "some do not improve" and personally, without judgement, I will still have hope that even 1% of hope is still something to hold onto, and that wellness and the time it may take is extremelt relative to a number of factors, resources, and is not that black and white or definitive, and it can be unhealthy (and sometimes depression talking, too) to say that all hope can be lost for some folks with OCD. I truly wish you the best in your journey. 💖
