Sometimes they help but where your 14 like you said I don’t think you can get them so they’ll probably refer you to a therapist which I’ve heard are just as good if not a lot better than antidepressants

I wish you the best that seems very hard to deal with and if you want to check her out , there’s this pure ocd therapist and YouTuber called Chrissie Hodges and I found her video on HOCD when I was struggling with it and I can honestly say she saved my life because that day, that horrible feeling of anxiety in my stomach just went away when I realised I wasn’t going crazy and that somebody else felt like this. She describes other themes of OCD as well and I find it very helpful, I think you’ll enjoy it. Her instagram is also @pureochrissie

Thank you so much. If you don’t mind me asking , what type of OCD do you struggle with? I started off with HOCD and I learned to control those obsessive thoughts and now it’s become POCD and it’s even worse but I know I can get through this

I struggle with Harm OCD where my brain tricks me into thinking 1. I’m a terrorist and 2. Anything horrible I see on the news or social media, my brain tricks me into thinking that I will do it. Going to therapy soon thankfully

I’m sorry to hear that but I’m also glad I’m not alone. My hocd began at around May this year and i still have it but it causes me absolutely no anxiety, stress and does not take up my time. When I finally felt free again for a few more months I started to have POCD which is even worse.

Share this info with your parents and maybe y’all can talk about it together. There are two really good holistic doctors. Dr. Kelly Brogan, who has an article specifically on OCD and a ton of educational material and resources. And Dr. Nicole LePera, who talks about her own experiences with anxiety and how she healed it. She discusses the huge correlation between the body-mind, the gut (where over 80% of serotonin is produced) and many psychological issues. Her IG is super insightful and inspiring as well. Both doctors are of the philosophy that we have the power and capacity to heal ourselves, and our relationship within directly reflects this. Building that intimacy and trust with ourselves to know what we need and how to access that. I have found their work extremely helpful and insightful. ✨http://kellybroganmd.com ✨https://kellybroganmd.com/ocd-cure-havent-heard/ ✨ https://kellybroganmd.com/probiotics-brain/ *Dr. LePera goes into this a lot on her IG in digestible pics and info. She has a free ebook about this too. ✨https://www.instagram.com/the.holistic.psychologist/ ✨ https://yourholisticpsychologist.com/how-i-healed-my-life-long-anxiety/ Hope this is helpful @pinkscdz and @OCDBoy55

Hi everyone, I’m 23 and have been on Zoloft since I was 16. For the past couple months I’ve been having panic attacks more and I’m sick of feeling like a zombie everyday. My boyfriend said I’m very sad and unhappy then when I first met him 2 years ago…. He thinks it’s the medicine. Throughout the years I have upped and lowered my medication, but now, I feel as though it’s not helping. Either it was too much where I didn’t feel emotions at all like very scary stuff or it wasn’t enough to help me. I was given 5mg of Lexapro to try…. I’m scared to take it. All I know is how Zoloft is. I don’t want to go crazy on it, be allergic to it, etc. I feel like I’m going to trip myself out when I take it and not actually feel the difference. I could really use some positive feedback I really just want to be a normal human😭

I’ve been through a lot of trauma the past few months and years and had an anxiety breakthrough where I can’t stop having panic and anxiety attacks. I used to be a horror movie addict and one night during an anxiety attack my brain went “Kill your sister” My sister is my whole world. It all went downhill from there. I can’t even be around her when were home alone anymore. Every single day since then my brain is trying to tell me a bunch of different ways to harm her. Its getting to a point where its involving others now. “Kill your sister.” “What if you finally go back to your boyfriends house and kill his family?” “What if you kill mom?” “Kill that lady walking down the aisle at work.” “What if you killed yourself?” “You’re a bad person for thinking all of this.” “You shouldn’t be allowed to sleep, eat or relax. Bad people don’t get to do those things.” “These thoughts are in your head 24/7 because you WANT to do these things!” Its causing me so much anxiety and racing thoughts and I don’t want to become anymore depressed. SSRIs dont work. My doctor wants me to go on antipsychotics but I’m afraid to and I feel like I don’t actually need them and it will cause more damage. My goal is to become the person I was before all of this. Not to change completely. I tried buspirone once and I stopped due to increased health anxiety and often found myself saying “remember when you wanted to kill your sister?” and then brushing it off. It helped in some sort of way. I was only on it for a week. My whole life has changed since then. I dont go to my boyfriends house anymore, I dont see my friends, I can’t play video games anymore. All I do is ruminate and I cant stop. I cant even hold a conversation anymore. The compulsions are horrible. I’m so scared that theres no coming back from this. Its all adding to the anxiety that I don’t want to become severe depression. I just want to be me again. I’m starting off ERP and if it doesn’t work I dont know what to do. Can someone please tell me they have been through similar and have gotten better. I just need to save my life. Its getting to a point where this is convincing me this is all real and its going to happen and that im gonna become a psychopath. Its been going on for 3 months. I used to be so bubbly and happy!! (I am not schizoaffective)
