Coping Skills
Does anyone have any coping skills they really recommend or learned from therapy? I start therapy soon but until then I wanna learn how to manage this on my own.

I haven't had therapy for a while but the first time I did I remember documenting my compulsive thoughts and trying to come up with counteractive things to convince myself that it isn't true and that it is just a lie.

My mom is a professional therapist for 5 years now. She's said one of the best ways of coping with ocd is calling it out. Like saying "you're just ocd. " to it. Or whenever you get a thought thats like a what if thought. Say "oh that's just ocd" or u can even say "maybe? "

How do I navigate my new diagnosis?
So after my ocd has become more prominent, it gets harder to fight through these compulsion’s everyday. I don’t go to therapy or take any medications and to be honest I am very lost in my journey on how to navigate life with ocd. I don’t want it to take over my life. I want to be able to feel like I can live without a weight on my chest and to finally feel like I can breathe. Any suggestions or words of advice is more than welcome.

Medication
At this point I feel like I need to get on something ASAP. I know that therapy is a long road and hard work and I am totally down to do it but in the short term (I just started this journey) I think I need pharmaceutical help. Some of the people closest to me agree. I have never been on meds before and it's scary AF but the road I am going down is scarier. Advice?
