Can you share about it here? That might help? Remember, your worst OCD triggers are just the same as all the other OCD. OCD wants you to think it’s different. But it’s all the same!! There’s always help available!! NOCD has great therapy that takes most insurance. They might help a lot

@Clara_and_ellie We are here if you want to write it!! ❤️❤️❤️💙💙💙 Also, this NOCD app has an SOS feature that walks you through an OCD spiral 🌀, I think. Also, there is an app called Unstuck that is all generated by AI, but might be very useful in walking us through our OCD spirals. I used it once, ands I noticed it suggested a lot of things that a therapist would suggest. So that is good:) I know all this might sound overwhelming, but I am hoping so much that you can get some support!!!! You really need support. I also like Nathan Peterson’s videos about OCD in YouTube. Maybe try watching some. It will be good for you to be reminded that you have the same symptoms that everyone has. (I’ll post a video below.) OCD tries to make us think that our thoughts are worse than anyone else’s, and that we are alone in our struggle, and that we are just monsters for having those thoughts. But the truth is—your OCD is predictable and inline with the common experiences of this disorder. Many other people are having the exact same experience that you are having. OCD wants to make you think that your experience is unique and different. But i can guarantee that your experience falls into the general pattern of OCD, and you will be able to unravel it if you get the right kind of help. The current therapists can understand OCD really well. They know how it works. The specifics might be slightly different for each person, but OCD actually works the same for everyone at it’s roots. Your worst trigger will not surprise anyone on this group. It will not surprise your therapist. OCD does what OCD does. It does its same type of tricks to everyone who suffers from it. But the good news is that you can learn what the OCD tricks are and learn to overcome it with the right kind of help. ERP therapy is extremely useful here. Like I said, NOCD does this very well if you are interested in trying it. I’ll post a video below. It might not meet your specific theme, but watching a lot of Nathan Peterson videos can help give an overall idea of how to apply ERP to our lives.

Since I don’t know your theme, this video is just a general one. However, there are probably lots of You Tube videos on your particular theme. https://youtu.be/nzSCy_CuMsI?si=Vhd6e0XFGvjtYzd-

I feel broke and hopeless.
I'm currently at one of the lowest points with my OCD despite me working so hard on it and everything that I know it stems from because a lot of my OCD comes from trauma from sexual abuse as a kid and as I got older and a lot of other stuff which is also why I have Complex PTSD. I was doing so well, I started medication, and I was in this dual housing program for treatment and everything was going okay. That was until I ended up getting SA’D by a man there and none of the staff cared or did anything despite me doing everything possible and gathering all of this evidence and all the people there either didn't care or bullied me relentlessly as they laughed with my abuser. It was so painful and I felt so alone. I think what triggered my spiral was that it was very similar to the reactions of my past assaults and thus my OCD came spiralling alongside my C-PTSD symptoms and I feel like it is worse then before. I left that place but its still absolutely terrible and I feel so hopeless and hurt. Not only did this man hurt me like I have been in the past he brought back the very thing that caused me so many years of suffering. It makes me sick. I don't want to think these thoughts or feel these horrible urges and sensations. I feel so disgusting and broken.

Ocd flare up
I'm going through an ocd flare up. I'm in a pretty bad depressive episode and just got triggered so it's harder for me to cope. Can't really get out of bed so can't take my mind off it. It feels so real this time. But of course I'm not confessing and this has happened many times before so I'm choosing to stay uncertain and live with it. Just wanted to share with anyone because it all feels really heavy and my close ones already seem so fed up with me hahs. If anybody is going through the same thing just remember that you're not alone!
