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 !.
Hi all, As of Monday, I received the diagnosis for Pure OCD during an ADHD evaluation. It came as a bit of a shock, despite knowing my grandpa had OCD (according to my parents and extended family, he passed away before I was born). I'm just a little lost on where to go from here. I'm trying to find a therapist who does both OCD and ADHD, but it's surprisingly hard. Do people typically have different therapists for their different needs? I've mentioned it to close friends and family, and when I've tried to discuss what I'm feeling, they said they do it too to a certain extent which is a little invalidating. Anyway, sorry for the ramble. Would anyone be able to give some advice/supportive words for a newly diagnosed college student? Thanks :)
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
My son has Pure O religious/scrupulosity with GAD and Bipolar. My son was diagnosed with Pure O religious OCD two years ago. He has to complete a task so that God doesn’t send him to hell if he doesn’t do it. These tasks are dangerous like doing multiple back flips on concrete, or jumping off balconies three times, doing MMA slams on his back three times. The thoughts are telling him if he doesn’t do this he will go to hell. Or he is so worried about blaspheming the holy spirt and loose his salvation. He knows this is his OCD. He knows the scripture and that God is one of peace and love. Been there and done that on quoting scripture and reminding him he is saved. I can see the torture he is going through and it is painful to watch. He also needs to be stuck next to me at all times cuz it makes him feel safe. This is impeding on my life as I feel I have a toddler again, he is 24 and a former 4 star football player. He wants this to stop, he is in therapy and working on it. He was free from these thoughts from November 2023 till April 2025. He is dealing with narcissistic trauma with his father and this triggers the OCD. My question is what can I do to support and help him through these episodes and not agitate him and to help him heal?
