Why i want to beat OCD
Because the things i fear the most are the things i want the most. Because i feel like this disease is taking my life from me.

You can absolutely do this. And you will. Please try ALI GREYMOND on YouTube and also Nathan Petersons Channel called ‘OCD and Anxiety’ I really think they will give you the extra support WITHOUT the reassurance! We are all routing for you ☺️
@katieR94 Nathan is the best for me
Nathan is great and I like how Ali gets right to the point with a no nonsense approach
@Brian4321 Yes! It depends on how bad my ocd is with who I listen to 😂 ali i use for a very BAD day and Nathan I’ll watch most days just to get a boost
What an AMAZING point. I agree, what I care most about is what I get phobic about… which is exactly what I need to tackle. Very very slowly but surely. Good luck everyone.
Im only 20 and Ive been crying. I am not diagnosed with OCD yet but it lines up. I'm so scared its not, these physical sensations and urges are so horrible and I just wanna hide myself from this earth. It feels so real. I'd rather not feel any arousal than experience it, no matter if its something I like or not. I want to be free from this hell.
i don’t want to do my compulsions. I feel like if I don’t somebody will get hurt, sick or die. It’s a very scary thought to feel like if I don’t do my compulsions it will be my fault even though it isn’t & nor will it happen. I know it’s magical thinking & my thoughts are not true nor will they come true. it’s just im so tired of doing these compulsions. im so tired of feeling like I can stop something bad happening if I don’t step on this or touch this 4 times. it even got me believing that if I do something I want to do & love, something bad will happen. I just want to be able to live & feel like I use to. I hate ocd. how can I calm this down so I can be able to navigate in my own life?
I hate the way ocd has completely messed up my brain, I struggle to tell the difference between an intrusive though and a regular one, I have really bad issues with morality and I feel as if my brain can no longer tell what is and isn't right and I can't tell if I'm over reacting about situations and I end up feeling stuck in a loop of wondering if I'm a bad person and trying to look at a situation rationally and not knowing if that's even possible with the state of my mind, I feel like none of my thoughts are actually mine. I hate it and I wish I could feel in control of my thoughts even for just a day, just to know what it's like. I've had ocd symptoms since I was about 9-10 so i feel like I've never really know a life without it. I just wish I could live out my teenage years like anyone else my age. I can hardly engage with my hobbies and passions and I don't know what to do about it. I can't go to therapy or get medication because I'm not even diagnosed, I just feel trapped. I'm only a teenager, like I said, I don't want to live my entire life like this.
