Which is the best way to make Ocd go away?

Did you tried it?! Was that helpful for you?

@Teli yeah it helps stay strong during ERP sessions and it will get reflected on how you manage intrusive thoughts further ahead ?

@Teli Yes,i used to be panicking all the time now im stable im not 100 percent normal though but my ocd episode started just 5 months ago so it's too early to be expecting to be fully normal but im 10 times better than 1-2 months ago

I have pure o so for me avoiding episodes is impossible so for me spikeo were inevitable so i thought i might as well do what will help me as i will feel fear anyway

@starboiklem I also had pure o what type of med do you have

@bright i’ve stopped meds they only hide symptoms and wont get rid of your thoughts, tbh i ran into a very hard time 6 months or more to stop everything sertaline, benzo and i’ve started meditation acceptance and ERP theray huge improvement so far !

@Majed That is right med don't help especially in my occasion. ..but I want to reduce anxiety so I have low dose not to stop OCD just for reduce anxiety. ..

@bright I don't use meds i use erp and it worked for me.

@bright If you want to lower anxiety you should try ashwaganda and 12 g inositol it works for me and many others. Ashwaganda basically lowers cortisol which is a stress hormone and inositol makes seretonin receptors more sensitive to seretonin

@starboiklem I think erp wouldn't work for my occasion what do you recommend for pure o...

@bright What type do you have? Erp works for all occasions it Will work if you can do it, that's what i recommend and as i said i also recommend looking into ashwaganda and inositol to see if they work for you they are natural

Dose not work bc it is pure o

@bright I understand why you say that as i was thinking that too, all ocd is the same it's just that with pure o compulsions are mental/hidden so you believe you don't have compulsions so you can't do erp but you do,i didn't know i had compulsions until i looked into pure o compulsions that's when i discovered them and once i removed them im better than ever. Ill send you a link to a video talking about pure o compulsions check it out and if you find you do those things you should aim to stop doing them and you will see big improvement

@starboiklem Thank you ...I saw this video and I convinced that I really need someone like this therapist to get erp but none in my country did that ..however I appreciate that

@bright You are welcome,pure o is trickier because compulsions are subconscious and hard to root out,i also live in a place where erp specialists aren't available but you can still get better if you try?

@starboiklem Where are you from ...

@bright Greece you?
