Yes, this is a great alternative when therapy isn't an option. I've thought about doing it in addition to therapy. But obviously therapy will be best. Have you tried reaching out to NOCD to see if they offer a sliding scale for out-of-pocket payment? I found this article on the IOCDF website and I recommend you take a look. Especially at a section that talks about sliding scale therapy. https://iocdf.org/low-cost-treatment-options-for-ocd/

@Mindilini Also, you can go to the support groups in the meantime here on NOCD. They're free and they won't be therapy, but it might help you feel supported in the meantime.

i’d definitely look around in your specific area to see if you have therapy around to begin with - then start looking at different insurance agencies and weigh the pros and cons (i.e cost, how much they cover, etcetera)

@vaIentine also, make sure you are looking for an OCD therapist specifically. talk therapist are not trained to deal with OCD, and talk therapy doesn’t help OCD

I can’t have really good days
If I ever experience myself happy in life, my relationship, or friendships, OCD just finds a way to ruin it for me. As soon as life’s going good, it pops up into my head with all these intrusive thoughts that make it impossible to just relax and enjoy myself. My relationship has been improving, along with my mental health, and I have been feeling so in love and present with my partner. Everytime that happens OCD pops back up, with all these thoughts in my head like “What if I don’t really love my partner” “What if I’m not actually attracted to him” then it spirals to “What if I’m gay” “What if I don’t even like men” and it keeps going and going. Now, I can’t even hang around women friends without OCD popping up and saying “What if I’m attracted to them” “You have a crush on them”. I have always identified as straight, and I have always been boy obsessed growing up. I don’t want to be gay and lose everything I have with my boyfriend. That’s a huge fear that OCD is putting into my head. That I’m gay and I don’t actually love my partner and am attracted to him. I’m so upset. I just want to be happy in my relationship and at peace. And I want to be able to make female friends without OCD ruining it for me. :/ It’s like if I’m really stressed, my OCD gets really bad. And if I’m happy my OCD gets really bad. Unfortunately NOCD doesn’t accept my insurance, but I am meeting with a therapist I found on Rula who treats OCD, so I’m hoping that helps. I am also considering meds, because I can’t keep living like this. It’s been 25 years.

Venting and need some advice
I really do want to go to therapy or psychiatrist to diagnosed my OCD and give me a treatment but it costs a lot. OCD ruins my life and consumes my mind I wish I can take a break from my own brain. Having OCD but undiagnosed feels like I’m crazy because people think I made that up but they don’t know how I’m struggling since I was a kid. So anyone have an advice for treat OCD especially checking OCD that doesn’t cost money? because I don’t work yet..🥲
