Try out Nathan Peterson’s online OCD course which has a fee but if isn’t as expensive.

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

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..🥲

Getting through life when therapy is unaffordable
Hi everyone, I'm in a bit of a difficult situation and I wanted to ask for some advice. I recently finished my studies and I am living from my savings while I look for a job. However this process has turned out to be a lot more difficult and tedious than I expected. I suspect I have OCD as I relate to a lot of the experiences described here, in particular those corresponding to pure OCD. I have continuous intrusive thoughts about how what I'm currently doing is not enough, I constantly need to reassured that what I'm doing is right, with some magical thinking and concerns about my relationship sprinkled in. These intrusive thoughts have made it very difficult to make any significant progress in looking for something. Added to this I'm not even sure I have OCD as I don't have the money to afford therapy right now (my mind keeps telling me that it's silly to write this message because there's no way I have OCD). I live in Switzerland so as far as I understand my insurance won't cover sessions with NOCD. In conclusion I'm a bit stuck, therapy would help with finding a job but I need a job to get therapy. If any of you have had any similar experience and have some piece of advice it would be very welcome.
