Hi! I love this app, I’ve found ways to really help myself be better! But I also know studying and all this is slowly becoming a compulsion? Anyway, I’m thinking maybe I just want to know more? I’m not diagnosed don’t get me wrong, but I can’t help but relate SO MUCH. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone can recommend YouTube channels? And maybe more social groups? I’m 27 so id like to be in a social group with ppl my age range please!
I’m 21 and would definitely benefit from a social group. I am also undiagnosed but I know it’s ocd since I relate to so many things and everything makes sense. Let me know if you manage to get into a social group
If you become an NOCD member, you have access to support groups held everyday. Also, IOCDF.org has a list of in-person/virtual support groups for adults living with OCD. I would say to stay away from reddit as it can be triggering to some. I’m 30 and also thrive in community settings.
I'm diagnosed since my young teen years but I never knew what ocd was and it was never a primary diagnosis, they were always focused on anxiety and depression and eventually I stopped going to therapy. So I consider myself undiagnosed because it wasn't until a few years ago where I started to recognize the symptoms but I haven't been to therapy again yet. I would definitely benefit from a social group or a group chat type of thing but I fear it could turn into a reassurance chamber yk? Who knows
I am also undiagnosed but I relate so much as well. I’m figuring things out with my insurance to get a diagnostic so that I can get a therapist from NOCD covered. I’ve been doing CBT therapy and I think it’s making it worse for me. It all started with my anxiety going through the roof and then OCD (pure “o”) hit. When OCD hit I was studying on how to get my anxiety symptoms better and then I started avoiding to study about it bc that was triggering my existential rumination): I’d love to be in a social group too since it helps me feel less isolated - I’m 24 btw
I just got home from an inpatient psych stay where I was diagnosed with OCD. Any ideas on what to do next? Books, movies, YouTube videos or channels etc ?
... but I would like to find people on here around my age (I'm 38), who would be interested in proper chats and conversations outside of here (the app is great, but as there is no option to properly chat, but only blog, it's not completely satisfying my need for conversation with other OCD sufferers). I know younger people suffer from OCD, too, but certain things and views are just different, when someone is 20 years younger than me (no offence). Of course, we'd need to find out, if we get along and, if not, it should be fine to stop engaging without any hard feelings.
Hello! I am new to this app even though I have struggled with OCD almost all my life. I am a college student, almost twenty years old plagued with intrusive thoughts mostly dealing with sexuality and real events. I am happy that I will get to know people who also has OCD and will not make me feel alone. As a starter, how old are ya’ll and how was your experience with this distressful mental illness? I hope all of ya’ll are having a peaceful day 😊
