I’m tired. I’m absolutely tired. i cry and cry. i don’t know who to turn to. my ocd/pocd is physically weakening me. Also I’m someone who likes to interpret dreams. so I dreamt of me swimming and when I searched the meaning, some said I’d go to jail. & this sent me spiraling. please help. i really really wanna do therapy but mom says I’m not at that stage where I need therapy yet.
Anyone with OCD needs therapy. Do not wait for it to get worse. Call NOCD today and start therapy. Only go to a therapist who specializes in NOCD. Ask your Mom to call NOCD and get information for family members of a loved one with OCD. This is free and will help you both.
@dph044@yahoo.com I meant only go to an ocd trained therapist. Talk therapy does not work. Only exposure response prevention works. You can do this. You can get better
I’m sorry love. Dealing with OCD is incredibly difficult especially when you don’t have anyone to talk to. I’m proud of you for being so open about this bc I know it’s terrifying. I went through something similar and I can tell you—it truly does get better. As for therapy, I agree with the comments above; call NOCD and have your mom talk with them. It’s crucial that you get the right treatment bc the more you wait, the harder it’ll be to get out of. In the meantime, check out Nathan Peterson, Jenna Overbaugh, and Ali Greymond. They all offer great insight on how to manage your symptoms. It’s going to be hard for a while but the feeling won’t last forever. I believe in you - you’ll make it through this ❤️
Hi I’m getting my period in a few days and I always notice my OCD spikes but I’ve just been feeling very very down, thoughts feel very sticky and real. Not much is making it better and I just feel super out of it. I also had a few dreams the past few weeks that relate to one of my ocd themes which is psychosis and I keep thinking I’m going to develop it. And I’ve also just been so on edge and scared even of like myself and people and reeling down and sad. Any advice? I don’t even like talking abt it rlly bc it creeps me out I feel like nothing is helping.

I dont know if I have ocd really but I think I do because I have the intrusive thoughts and I always try and do things to soothe the anxiety. I've been dealing with this for a few months and this is a debilitating cycle and I wish I wad normal. when I first spoke to my therapist about it, she said that people with ocd like to clean and count a certain amount of tiles and stuff like that. I really want to get tested because I want help but im scared that if they say I don't have ocd then that means my intrusive thoughts are true and that I'm the person that my mind makes me think I am and it scares me. I mostly deal with symptoms of pocd so I try my best to avoid kids and sometimes I won't even want to go in public because of it and I count in my head a lot and try and see if my body is reacting any kind of way. I also try and just push the thoughts a way and do research and sometimes it makes me feel better but in reality it's just a cycle and it's terrifying so can someone please comfort me or give me advice and tips to help me feel better because I really need it. I just want to get help and stop this cycle because it's slowly killing me. I don't want to be the person my head thinks I am but in my head it's just constant fear anxiety and uncertainty.
