Why I want to beat ocd

I want to beat ocd because I feel like ocd is stopping me from growing and making my life better and I over think to much and I just want to make my life better over all and not only do I over think I always try to be perfect by trying to cover up things while I still haven’t healed it so it’s kinda like there being a whole in a wall and you paint over it yea it looks better but its still the same and is still a problem. And I’m Christian just that I feel like I don’t pay attention to it enough and I’m scared something bad will happen to me if I don’t

Hey! I understand what you're going through. Sometimes I'm also afraid of missing opportunities because of mental illness. But know that "cover up things" can be part of the healing process. OCD tells you that you need to solve everything, but you don't. You can live even if you're not "healed" yet. You're not alone. Healing is not a destination, it's a process.

I hear you!! You are not alone! OCD is very torturous. And it works in the same ways in all our lives. But here's the good news! OCD is beatable through good therapy! It's important to get the right type of therapy. There are a lot of therapies out there that do not work very well. But if you get the right type of therapy, you can start the consider the OCD. You can do this!! I'm going to copy and paste something that I just put on another post. It might help you:):)

@Tea and Honey @nampretzels It is really important to get a therapist who specializes in OCD and who also is trained in ERP therapy. If you try to use other therapists, they may not help you (and some can make it worse). If you can't find a therapist in your area, I have two suggestions for you. The first is NOCD. NOCD was founded by Steven Smith. He went went to college to play football, but his OCD got so bad that he was stuck in his room. He tried multiple therapies that didn't work. Eventually, he started ERP, and the results were amazing. He got his life back, and he founded NOCD so that everyone could have access to ERP. I have used NOCD twice. All the sessions are over Zoom, and they take most insurance. Here's a link where you can book a free phone call with them if you want to check them out more: https://home.treatmyocd.com/calendar And here's an email for them. You can send them an email at any time and tell them your frustrations at your current place. care@nocdhelp.com ------------------------------ The other suggestion I have is to take a really good online course for ERP so that you can master your OCD from home. Nathan Peterson's course is awesome!! It will teach you ERP step-by-step and also cater it to your theme. Here's a link to that: https://www.ocd-anxiety.com/ I also highly recommend Nathan Peterson's videos on YouTube (which are free, of course). Here's a sample: https://youtu.be/fPtjx2ysxa8?si=JoLaaXEIVA80d5k1

@Tea and Honey NOCD operates in some other counties other than the US. If you are outside of the US, just send them an email and talk about it:):)
