I have a son with OCD/BDD and he’s on the spectrum. I went into the meeting tonight thinking it was for parents trying to get support for the caregiver. I was told that’s on Mondays?
That’s wonderful that you’re trying your best to get educated on OCD to help out your son :) I checked the support group schedules and here’s what I see: “Supporting Others With OCD: Education For Family & Loved Ones” every Monday at 5:00pm-6:00pm EDT. (This is the group you specifically wanna go to ⭐️) “Parents Support Group (15+)” every Thursday 9:00pm-10:00pm EDT (this group is only for parents that have OCD themselves and may have been the group you mistakenly went to today) I know there’s also a group based on OCD sufferers with Autism and there’s another group specifically for children with OCD to attend
Here is how to sign up for any group: On your computer under the “Therapy” icon, there’s a section on the right-hand side of the screen called “Support Groups.” There, you can sign up for as many groups as you want. To sign up on your phone, also go to “therapy” and I think if you scroll down to the bottom of the page, there should be a title called “Support Groups”
Hey there 👋 If you have the NOCD app on your phone, you can locate the Support Groups section in the Therapy Portion. (Middle Tab - Has a Teal Head Icon with a Heart). Once you click on the Support Groups - it will redirect you to a page where you can explore what you need as a parent, as well as any support groups you or your son can attend for psychoeducation / therapy help. Once you click on the groups your interested - it will get marked in the main hub and you can click on the link once it’s time to join the video call. Hope this helps!
That's very wonderful of you trying to help your child !.
Hey all, This is so strange to share this, and I have been judged by others and misdiagnosed many times. About a year ago I worked with an OCD therapist and it was really triggering. For me my thoughts are mainly about suicidal ocd and harm ocd centered around my children of all things. Fear that I could or would want to hurt them, then feeling so horrible that I believe I’m suicidal then I go back and forth on that. After reading a few of your posts, it makes me truly have a bit of hope that I can overcome this.
Overwhelmed
Hey friends. I hope you all are doing good today. Just struggling mentally myself. Feel like a terrible mother, but I want another baby. My OCD has gotten better despite the terrible episode I had that I seem to not get over. I hope someone comments that could just give me some support with POCD
