Be open and honest about your symptoms. Follow your treatment regime, even when it feels really hard. Communicate about your struggles, hesitations, and worries. And most importantly: be kind to yourself. Don’t let your internal dialogue beat you up. There’s nothing wrong with getting help, even intensive help. You deserve to get better and that means you deserve access to the best treatments possible.

This is going to vary fairly widely by country. If you are in the US and are going voluntarily, you can expect to be in a locked unit. You will see a clinician for a entrance assessment where they will ask you about your history. They will also change you out of any non-approved clothing and take anything that you could use to harm yourself. You will likely be in a private or 2 person same-sex bedroom. The unit will have a common space called a day room where you will spend most of your time. There may be other smaller rooms for private counseling or treatments.

Advice?
I’m having a big OCD relapse and would like to hear anyone’s tips on how to be present and healthily deal with these intrusive thoughts and the “need” to preform compulsions. Thank you!!

Medication
Hey friends, I hope you all are well. I just wanted to check in and ask people's experiences about being on medication. I have had OCD pretty much my whole life, just got recently diagnosed 4 months ago and my therapist recommended that I get on meds for it so I have a psychiatrist appointment set up. I'm a little apprehensive about getting on them, but I've realized that I do have some sort of chemical imbalance in my brain that plays a part in my OCD and anxiety. I would love to hear anyones experiences or words of encouragement. Thank you, I hope you all are well.
