Celebrating our supporters

My therapists goes without saying. But my best friend. I told her what is good and bad for me and ocd and she adjusted almost instantly. Others struggled

God. My parents. My therapist. My close friends.

My mom and dad have been very supportive, my mom joined ocd groups online to understand the condition more and my dad is the one who convinced me to get therapy in the first place. My therapist is pretty awesome too.

My dad!

My therapist and my husband !

My fiancé. I went through the worst OCD spiral last year and he stood by me and loved me patient at every moment. I remember saying “I hate that I’m living at 1% battery, I feel like I have nothing left to give. I’m so sorry.” He told me “you can be on 1% for as long as you need, but I won’t let you get to zero.” ❤️

My boyfriend Craig! And my therapist Carolyn!

My wife!!!

My husband! I’ve never felt I could talk about OCD until he made me feel as though I wasn’t crazy!

My husband!!! He’s my rock!! He has been very supportive of my OCD journey

My momma

My wife, who also happens to be a therapist. She has supported me in the hardest points of this even when sometimes it would be easier to give yet she was there this entire time without question.

My close friend Sarah. She is one of the very few people I feel I can truly be open with. She is one of the few friends I have who will check in on me especially if I've been struggling. She understands where I come from when I talk about intrusive thoughts I've had or some of the weird compulsions I've done. When I first explained about how I do ERP, she offered to come along as I do it to show support and has even offered to do some along with me. She has always had my back and I honestly can say that her friendship has made my life much better.

My husband who also has OCD, so he’s understanding, empathetic and willing to help me whenever I need it

My past therapist and my daughter who is a mental health therapist

Myself 🫡

My grand children

My parents and my best friends that are like family

My boyfriend is an absolute angel and does everything he can to help me. I really appreciate it and am amazed by his strength, especially because he’s going through his own issues and he was even the focus of my rocd. My parents are also supporting me to the best of their ability. They don’t really understand ocd, so it’s nice to see that my dad has started researching to try and comprehend me. I’m so thankful they’re with me, I have no idea where I would be otherwise

My husband and sister in law have been there for me. I would be lost with out them.

My mum & dad, brother, his girlfriend, Niamh my bestie - make me feel like I’m not losing my mind and I owe them my life

My dear mother who pushed me to seek therapy. Love you mom

My husband Cole❤️

My husband and sister are my 🪨

My therapist and my twin!

My husband

My husband...he's been so understanding and patient with me, but firm when he's helping me with my ERP. I genuinely think I would drown without him.

My husband and my sister do their best. My biggest support in recovery are my amazing therapist here at NOCD and the taboo thoughts therapist and support group. I am so grateful to have this community because unless you have ocd, it is difficult to understand what we go through ❤️

My mommy

My therapist of course! And my husband!!

My therapist, Brooke!!🫶🏻

My husband and my family 💖

My husband, my dad, my sisters, friends, the nocd community.

At risk of sounding inflated, myself. And I fought like hell to get to the point where I am my ally not the person sucking my own life force.

My therapist, Mark. He cares and that's cool. My wife, Amy. She yearns to know so she can help however she can and gives me the space and encouragement to share when I'm ready. My mom. I was surprised, but she even asked to join groups so she can understand better. My work family. For those I've shared with, their support and encouragement and help helps get me through. My chef is the one who introduced and tough love encouraged me to join NOCD in the first place. I honestly wouldn't be here without chef Chayil.

My friend that I made on NOCD through a group. She just gets me 😊 My NOCD therapist. Ruthie is amazing because she makes me to hard things. And in the strangest, yet greatest turn of events, my friend. He’s the reason I started NOCD & my life has been so different since. He’s great!

my best friend, Kaen!

My mom ❤️‍🩹

my partner. he has never made me feel like a burden to him. he always does what he can to support me. he is my rock.

My mom ❤️

My mom ❤️

My wife

My girlfriend, she’s my best friend. And I love her so much

My mom! She always supports whatever plan I chose to better my mental health

Dr. Patrick McGrath, Chrissie Hodges, Nathan Petersen, IOCDF, and more recently a book I've read titled "The Imp of the Mind", which is an older book but relevant nonetheless. Anyone know if there is an updated edition perchance?

My brother and sister in law, for being the ones to help me through understanding my diagnosis. And my girlfriend

My poor family, meta ai & this app cause I keep bombarding you all with my problems

God, and my parents 💗

My friend Madison; he sees me more than most, and he never fails to give thought.

But don’t forget about my dad. He always spends good time with me.

My parents, especially my mom :)

My husband, mom, and therapist!

My psychologist

There’s nothing anyone can do for me

Chrissie Hodges on YouTube. Seriously, she is my favorite person on Earth. She understands everything I'm going through like she can read my mind and makes me feel comforted

My therapist Janna has changed my life. I was able to see the light instead of living in the guilt and shame of my obsessions. I feel like I'm actually living for the first time.

My mom

Unfortunately myself because i had the stregnth to discover NOCD and switch therapists and have had the will power to do erp the few times i habe successfully.... evrryone around me is rly doing their best to support me but they rly just dont know how or try to convince me that im fine and dont have ocd when they dont fully understand the disease themselves and i come off as normal

My mom and my best friend. They’re really keeping me above water rn <3

My husband, son and daughter and my therapist!

Initially for many years nobody, but now just this year my mom

My mom.

God, my mentor, my friend, my sister and her husband & my pseudo mom, and myself 💜

MY MOM!! she has OCD too and she helped me through my worst times and got me to a therapist and psychiatrist and made sure i knew that there is no shame in needing medication:)
