Please continue to speak with your prescriber. And reach out to our member advocates if you cant come see me or another of our therapists. There absolutely is hope. My Grandmother told me that "Beautiful people are like a rose garden. You can admire their beauty but you dont have to pick them. " We can help you with the sensation and the compulsion cycle as well as the fear. The poster below me had great thoughts around this. Try looking at people without any judgement, or importance. And please take good care of yourself. You matter to a lot of us who want to help you realize that this is an OCD thought. You can break that thought.

It sounds incredibly overwhelming to deal with these intrusive thoughts, especially when they seem to trigger such automatic anxiety responses. It’s not uncommon to feel like you’re losing control. Remember, these thoughts don’t define you and with the right support, things can improve. Help is here at NOCD, and we can assist you in finding outside help if needed too.
