Question!!
Can you heal from pure ocd symptoms (didn't took any diagnose so just symptoms) by yourself without the help of therapist? I know it sounds stupid but there's no way I'll ask my parents for therapy.

therapy is definitely ideal but i understand that this isn’t the option everyone has access to. generally it feels like breaking pure ocd symptoms is a slow rewriting and change of perspective. i feel like doing exposures at home greatly helped me and my anxiety
Thank you❤️
I advise therapy 100%, but I have been in your shoes and I know what it means when you’re not able to access therapy. I’ll tell you this: you will be able to get rid of a theme by yourself, I managed multiple times, but you will not get rid of the mechanism if you don’t engage in therapy-style activities. What I mean is, perhaps, you should look up some techniques and methods to soothe and easy ocd symptoms online and try to do them yourself. This is what I did when I couldn’t afford therapy anymore and it worked wonders. In short: you defo can, but you need to put in the work!!
Thank you I'll defenitly try it!!❤️
If you cannot afford NOCD therapy, then I highly suggest looking into Nathan Peterson’s course. He is a specialist who created the online course for a fee for people who can’t afford other options. You need guidance.
Thank you I'll check it out❤️
How long did it take to make this? And is it actually possible?
I'm 15 turning 16 soon and I'm 100 percent convinced I have ocd.. I have been having major symptoms since I was 13, the constant what ifs, rumination, compulsions, guilt, anxiety from intrusive thoughts. I tried to open up about it to my parents when i was 13 but they dismissed it cause they don't believe in mental health.. I really want to get better. My parents won't listen to me and I don't wanna tell a teacher at school cause that would make things worse as they would just tell my parents and obviously since I'm 15 I can't afford therapy.. I don't know what to do :(
17f There is a chanse I will get prescribed medication but it's implied that I will go to therapy too. But therapy in my country is very shitty. I'm absolutely not comfortable talking about my POCD there. I have other ocd themes, like checking, symmetry, moral ocd, troubles reading because of ocd and some other themes, but they are not that severe and they don't make me sui🔪idal (please don't flag my post, you will make it worse). Like I can deal with them, but real even ocd and pocd are absolutely insane and I need help, but I know I won't get it there. I'm thinking of moving to another country in the future if I will make it. But to function and stay alive I need meds, cause a lot fo times its extremely bad. So idk is it possible to just be on meds with no therapy
