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-

You might find some useful info. https://youtu.be/3vy6-bveenQ?si=MurQBLRfhj1DcMW9 ——————————————- This link below goes to Nathan Peterson’s master course for OCD. It can take you through all the principles you need to recover. https://www.ocd-anxiety.com/master-your-ocd I think these resources can help. 😀😀:):)

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!

My OCD is doing horrible. I was put on birth control to balance out my PMDD. I don’t think that’s going too well it just keeps getting worse. My mental health keeps getting worse. My OCD is so bad that my existential theme came back, the one I overcame six years ago for the most part. My POCD is flaring, my every single damn theme known to man is flaring right now. I feel absolutely insane and I feel like my OCD has never been this bad before. Even at its worst, like me posting 6x a day on here months ago. I’m doing a lot of compulsions it’s not my original compulsions or anything. They’re like really freaking complex like compulsions within compulsions. I feel like I’m literally dying. I feel so much fear. I haven’t been able to stop crying in my face is dry from all the salt. I don’t know what to do. I’m genuinely desperate. I don’t want to do this. I already tried relaxing because I have little periods of time where I feel a little better, and I even ordered myself some ice cream, but I’m not doing okay. I feel like I’m drowning in a nightmare and I just can’t wake up.
