From the suggestion of my old nocd therapist I named my OCD Agatha ( from the movie/book Matilda i.e. Agatha Trunchbull. When I wake up & start to ruminate, I say "oh, good morning Agatha, i see you want to play already". When I see a cabinet door open & I think omg I must close it right away, I now catch myself & I say " oh, does that bother you Agatha? Wel,l enjoy it cause I'm not closing it & I'm going to sit here & enjoy this tasty bit if anxiety you're tossing at me." When I'm scared cause she's tossing catastrophic thoughts my way, I'm like "you're a fucking liar. Yeah, I might have run someone over because I didn't check my parking break 20, 30 times, I'll just worry about who I may have killed later." Agatha is a scared little girl who wants to do everything in her power to prevent "me" from getting in trouble or being blamed for bad shit happening, even if it's not her/my fault. I tell Agatha she's a liar, annoying and a bunch of names quite often.

I'd tell him how much struggling he's caused, I cant trust myself or others even when I have no reason to doubt them. Even if someone is telling me the straight truth I'm doubting it, unless it lines up and I can see the proof infront of me it's wrong. It's exhausting and I hate this. I hate the feeling of being sick due to a strong smell being on me or something happens that I can't control. I'd tell him he doesn't need to control the world because it will never work. Maybe if he let's the peices all fall into place it wouldn't be so scary. I can only give so much patience and kindness to myself it's killing me.

I get asked about the name NOCD a lot. People might want to know how itās pronounced, and theyāre curious about our story. Every time, Iām excited to share a bit about what the name meansāin fact, itās an opportunity for me to talk about something everyone should know about OCD. First things first: itās pronounced āNo-CD.ā And it actually means a couple things, both central to our mission: To restore hope for people with OCD through better awareness and treatment. The first meaning of our name is about awareness: Know OCD. Though weāve come a long way, not enough people truly know what OCD is or what itās like. How many times have you heard someone say āDonāt be so OCD about that,ā or āI wish I had a little OCD. My car is a mess!ā Things like that may seem innocent, but they trivialize the condition and keep most people with OCDāaround 8 million in the US aloneāfrom getting the help they need. The second meaning of NOCD is about treatment: No-CD. To go a bit deeper: Say āNoā to the compulsive disorder. On one level, this is also related to knowing OCDānoto means āto knowā in Latin. This inspired the name NOTO, the operations and technology infrastructure that powers NOCD the way an engine powers a vehicle. But this meaning goes even further. It has to do with how you can manage OCD symptomsālearning to resist compulsions. This is the foundation of exposure and response prevention (ERP) therapy, the most effective, evidence-based form of treatment for OCD. Learning how to resist compulsions with ERP changed my life, and it taught me how important it is to get treatment from a specialty-trained therapist who truly understands how OCD works. Iāll give you an example. When I was 20, my life was going according to plan. I was thriving on the field as a college quarterback, doing well in school, even winning awardsāuntil OCD struck out of nowhere. I started having taboo intrusive thoughts, things that horrified me and went against my core values and beliefs. Desperate for help, I saw several different therapistsābut no one diagnosed me with OCD. At one point, I was instructed to snap a rubber band against my wrist whenever I had an intrusive thought. It was supposed to stop the thoughts, but it only made my symptoms worse. Driven into severe depression, I had to put my entire life on pause. Once I started ERP with a therapist who understood OCD, I learned why: you canāt stop intrusive thoughts from occurring. Everyone has themāand the more you try to get rid of them, the worse they get. Anything you do to suppress them is actually a compulsion, whether itās counting in your head, snapping a rubber band against your wrist, or using substances to drown the thoughts out. To get better, you have to learn to resist compulsions and accept uncertainty. OCD doesnāt get to decide how you live your life. How do you educate the people in your life about OCD? Whether friends, family, or strangers, Iād love to hear how you share your understanding and raise awareness about OCD.

I want to beat OCD because I have seen and felt the benefits of clearing my brain from unnecessary, pointless, thoughts. OCD is like 0 calorie food. Itās pointless. No nutrition or benefits come from my obsessions or compulsions. I donāt care to have answers to everything anymore. I catch myself just trying to stress myself out so that I have some worry to feed on. But like I said, itās a 0 calorie food. I get nothing from it but wasted time and energy. My brain feels more spacious when Iām not consumed by OCD. Iām present. My personality has room to be herself without making space for bullshit. I tell myself now that worry is poison. I think Willie Nelson was the person I got that quote from? Anyways, that imagery of worries being poison for the mind has been transformative for me. Iām evolving. š Thanks NOCD community.

Should I start therapy? What if I say something that they think is odd, strange, illegal, etc.? What if they tell me it is not OCD? These are just a small handful of the things that I have heard from people who are worried about starting therapy. And, it is unfortunate that these types of questions, and the fear of their answers, keep people suffering. If you have these questions, I want to know about them. I hope that you will gain some insight and inspiration to take that step and try out NOCD ERP for your OCD. So, let me hear from you and let's overcome these fears together.
