I just seen this app on google and said to myself let’s try it 🤷🏾♀️ I am in the market for a new therapist. One that can and will actually help me. Someone that I can trust, that has experience. One that will Not dope me up on medication. One that is not overly expensive.

@Anonymous Thank you so much for the information. I did see they have therapist. I’m just a little nervous that they won’t properly diagnose me. I’ve been misdiagnosed in the past which is stressful and delays me from getting the proper help needed.

@Mela55 Oh I understand trust me this OCD stuff is a lot for all of us and it just makes things worse if not properly diagnosed discussed and handled correctly

@Anonymous Yes ! I’ve been searching for real assistance since October 2011. Ofcourse it lies dormant and then comes back. I get it. But you want to be understood. You want to be educated and not feel alone. I’ve experienced so many therapist over the years, not having any real knowledge, no real diagnoses but they will write you a prescription for anything that will have you zombie like. 😔😞

@Mela55 I can say I’ve been suffering for about the same amount of time as you as well if not longer I’m 27 and my OCD stems from trauma as a child I was going through years of intrusive thoughts and compulsive actions that were not my own and I’ve done countless upon countless google searches but thankfully a lil luck and God finally helped me steer in the right direction

@Anonymous Well you do know that what you’re experiencing is NOT your fault. You have done absolutely NOTHING wrong. You are on the road to recovery which equates to healing , this also includes silencing all triggers. Because we all experience triggers. We may be aware of some and be completely oblivious to others. It’s very common. I think we get so trapped in our head and feeling so alone that we forget that it is common. We also have spent so much time alienating ourselves out of fear. That we feel helpless even though we do want help. We just don’t trust that we can be helped. But you are on the right direction. You are already healed 🫶🏾

@Anonymous Trust me. I understand. When you go through real life changes. It literally modifies your personality. So you don’t have time for small foolishness. We have been through so much and we don’t want anyone else to have to go through it. But when people who don’t share our same challenges, come to us after we have had a long exhausting battle. We organically become annoyed with them. We don’t try too. But we have been through enough. That’s all.

Hi, I’m new to the app as of today. I’m 20 years old, and wanted to get some stuff off my chest about the types of OCD I’ve been experiencing over the years. I’m not entirely sure how or when my OCD was brought up, but I’ve been a perfectionist for as long as I can remember. Anywhere and everywhere I go, if I see things placed in an order/angle that my brain doesn’t approve of, next thing I know I’m “fixing” it to be in the placement I feel looks better. I’m not aware of why I feel the need to do that, but until an object is in the “right” placement, I won’t take my eyes off of it. My eye will even twitch. Another form of OCD I have is in relationships. I spend each day overthinking and over-analyzing every one of the relationships that are important to me. Friends, family, significant other. Another one is what’s considered “Pure OCD” . When I get an intrusive thought of something devilish, whether it’s randomly seeing my great aunt naked bc my grandma considers her “fat” even though she’s not, or it’s seeing something demonic and traumatizing, I immediately tell myself, “I don’t wanna see/think about that” over and over and over until the thought is gone. Or I’ll try to replace one mental image with another. One other form of OCD I face every day, is religion. I got baptized for the first time in my life earlier this year in January. I had finally started to repent for my sins, and now I’m constantly feeling afraid that I’m letting God down due to my depression/lack of motivation and vaping/smoking. I also fear excessively that He’ll banish me from His kingdom, or just turn a cold shoulder. I know that what I’ve just typed up is probably all over the place. That is my brain unfortunately. How do you go from being a mentally disorderly and seemingly erratic young woman, to a more well-established, successful woman? I’m all ears!

I'm sry if this may make people worry or feel uncomfortable in advance! Hello everyone as u can see I struggle with ocd and I HATE IT WITH MY LIFE , it started in 2020 covid obv contamination ocd started here , I used to carry alcohol everywhere and used to wash my hands so much that it bled ( had to wear gloves to cover it so friends or family won't see it ) and everything else started since then , harm ocd with myself or friends I couldn't hold a knife..it was really hard..and I have unwanted sexual thoughts ocd , I have panic attacks bc of this..I sometimes cannot look people into their eyes and its so random and so scary..thoughts about.. 🍇..whether it's me or I'm gonna harm someone else uk..I sometimes cannot function properly.. unfortunately friends don't understand it rather think it's about " perfectionism "..I wrote those thoughts and stuff in a journal in more details ofc and doodle ( I'm scared someone will find it ) I hate myself tbh and I don't think someone will read this... I suspect I have ADHD with all this but ocd is " ur faking it " even though lots of people have hinted about it , I thought I actually killed someone for 2 years a girl..until I realized what HOCD is , I thought I faked my ocd too in fact , I have perfectionism ocd too it's bad and I HATE PURE O it's so DRAINING uk.. also idk if this has caused a problem for anyone but if y'all know the Truman show ( basically if u don't know the main character is being filmed and his life is fake and he doesn't know it ) THAT MOVIE HAS HARMED ME SO BADLY FOR YEARS that until today I have to check in the bathroom if there are cameras cuz like ocd makes me think I'm living in a fake world , I used to think people around me , everyone was like a Ai model or smth.. everytime until today I have to clean the toilet seat bc it may be dirty..I have been taking up to 5 showers a day cuz maybe I'm dirty..that's it for today tysm if u read this till the end I'd like to know ur thoughts if u got tips or have similar experiences ! 🤗 U get a chocolate bar 🍫 bc u earned it bc ik how ocd is so frustrating ( I also noticed everyone who has ocd is so nice right 😆! )
