@rosepetaltears What's it like having real false memory OCD? I have contamination OCD and it's hard!!
@rosepetaltears Oh it's night time right now for me it's like 8 pm right now not day
@rosepetaltears Ooohhh
@rosepetaltears Oh it must be hard to do daily activities then!
I have contamination OCD as well. If you scroll up a little my full story is titled my OCD story. I would type the whole thing in but it's long and it's easier if you read the post if you want to follow up. I feel like contamination OCD is hard because good hygiene is a real thing it's just we have an unnatural obsession with it. Please read my post and see if you can relate to my story. Good luck with your therapy. I think we are both going to beat it. đ
Yes thank you!! Your the best!!
@tryingtobehappy_em Please read my post if you get a chance it's titled My OCD story.

Hi everyone, Iâm Cayla. Iâm a mom thatâs lived with OCD since childhood, but my breaking point came more recently after having my son. I was consumed by terrifying thoughtsâWhat if I hurt him? What if I did something awful without realizing it? I was so afraid of my own mind that I couldnât be alone with him. The shame and exhaustion were unbearable, and I convinced myself I was broken. In 2024, I finally sought help. ERP therapy at NOCD was one of the hardest things Iâve ever done, but it saved my life. Even now, I have tough days, but I know I donât have to be ruled by OCD. When my 12 year old daughter began showing signs of OCD, I felt overwhelmed with guilt. I never wanted her to go through what I had, but I knew what to do. I told her that I have OCD too and made sure she knew it wasnât her faultâand that she wasnât alone. One of the hardest parts of this journey was trusting someone else with my daughterâs OCD. I knew how vulnerable it feels to share intrusive thoughts, and I wanted her to feel safe. Her NOCD therapist was able to establish trust and genuine empathy from the start, and that relationship gave her the confidence to face ERP head-on. Seeing her build that trust made me certain she was in the right hands. ERP has helped both of us reclaim our lives, and it is beautiful to see my daughter managing her condition and making visible progress. Parenting with OCD while raising a child with OCD isnât talked about enough, but I know so many parents are struggling with these same challenges. If you have questions about managing OCD while parenting, helping your child through ERP, or breaking cycles of guilt, drop them belowâIâd love to share what Iâve learned. Iâll be answering all of the questions I receive in real-time today 4-5pm ET.
OCD is so much more than just being 'neat' or 'organized'âitâs relentless, exhausting, and often deeply misunderstood. The intrusive thoughts, the compulsions, the anxietyâit can feel like a never-ending cycle that others just donât seem to get. Many of us have had experiences where even therapists didnât fully grasp the depth of our struggles. I myself faced difficulty being misdiagnosed and my talk therapist not understanding the full extent of what I was going through until I found NOCD. So many prior therapists wrote off my symptoms as general anxiety, not realizing it was actually OCD all along. If you could sit down with a therapist who truly wanted to understand, what do you wish they knew about OCD?
