My OCD score went from a 33 to a 5! :)

Life was really rough when I first started with NOCD. My OCD was at its highest and I had little hope and was discouraged so my original therapist recommended a higher level of care but I couldn’t find it and was left without any OCD treatment. But starting in 2026, it slowly got really better and I was able to come back in April or May with a new therapist and try again; my OCD score was already down to a 19 at that point. I did a lot of hard work and progressed with my therapist then it went down to a 9, then back up to an 11, then down to a 5! I highly recommend this app to anyone battling OCD. Everyone’s treatment will look different but you all have what it takes to overcome OCD and I still have more work to do but I’m excited for the future. Thankyou to my therapist and thankyou to NOCD!❤️

@HelpingBats You can ask your OCD therapist specifically to share it with you :) They have access to your score.

@Huskylover Committing to the exposures, agreeing to do it. Not only learning but actually using the skills I’ve learned in ERP. Forcing myself to sit with the discomfort of certain things and living with the unknown. And doing all the homework my therapist assigns me throughout the week. Fully committed to what you’re doing and trusting your therapist to help you is important. That’s what helped me :)

Not trying to be an a**hole and congrats on your progress, but I wish all these "I conquered OCD yay" posts would be a lot more specific to help the people still struggling a lot. Feel-good vague words like "hard work" "therapy" "it'll get better" "you can dooo it" etc. doesn't provide the "how to" specifics on how to beat this disorder. Like it's almost like gatekeeping. I know it's different for everyone, but as you know, OCD people are very detail orientated (imo), so the more specifics, the better (that someone is comfortable sharing). For example, *what* therapy? Just ERP? How many weeks or months? 33 to 5? I don't even know what OCD score means. How long before it started to get better, 1 week 2 weeks 3 months? etc. Think of it like an Amazon review... would you get more value from someone that said "Really great product, I like it!" or someone that went into super detail about it.

Just gotta remember that many (maybe even most) people here are still pre-therapy and looking for real answers from real people who've conquered OCD.
