Who supports you in your OCD recovery? How do they help?

My sister also has intrusive thoughts so she helps me by not being judgmental about mine and so does this app. They don't make me feel alone.

Oh and how can I forget God ? I rely on scripture to help me and strengthen me.

My parents, sister, friends, and therapist. My parents for allowing me to live with them, my sister for being a good listener, my friends for accepting me and knowing when to get me out of the house, and my therapist for challenging me

Jesus carries me and gets me through. Also, He has blessed me with incredible people. My parents and my best friend encourage me and pray for me.

No one. My family doesn’t understand OCD no matter how much I explain it. My mom will think she’s being relatable because she says she is soooo ocd bc she likes an orderly house. I think my dad has it. My paternal grandmother FOR SURE has it because she checks locks and windows repeatedly but they don’t really go to psychiatrists where she lives (in a village). I’m the only one actually diagnosed.

I haven't told a soul about my struggles one day hopefully soon I will be able to share with someone close to me without judgement

Smiley i am so sorry you are going throw this alone i can understand you ? Hope you find someone nice to be close to you A lot of?

nobody nothing ...myself yeah i try ask help,small things anything and nothing i dont know how i am “ok” the things that help me is that i would need and love live in usa and make friends and be loved and dont be humiliated every day and rejected and be scared of monster and loneliness and anxiety and so on ... a lot of?

My sister. But sometimes she doesn't seem to pay attention to me so I've been relying on this app lately.

My boyfriend, my parents don’t get it completely despite my father also having ocd. But he doesn’t get ROCD & HOCD bc he’s never heard or dealt with them. So he’s always there for me and he holds me when I’m having panic attacks. He’s my biggest supporter even tho he doesn’t show it with too many words.

My family and boyfriend don’t know I have OCD, although I have opened up about it a little more with my boyfriend. They all do know that I have an anxiety disorder though, and they’re extremely supportive. My dad has anxiety too and he doesn’t reassure me, he just tells me I can’t control everything and things like that-it’s very helpful. This app and the people on it are definitely the biggest support system I have so I’m very grateful for it!

My spouse and my best friend/ my spouse mostly accepts it but my best friend pushes me to get over fears or obsessions and is always there for me in the good and bad times. Very lucky.

My parents and therapist
