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

Did SSRI’s help you?
I just got my SSRI’s and I’m kinda nervous to take them so I was wondering if anyone has had a good or bad experience with them.

need advice
i have been dealing with anxiety and ocd like symptoms for the my whole life but they’ve gotten worse the past 2-3 years. im not diagnosed nor on any medications. my boyfriends has been with me nearly every step of the way of this anxiety and is a great help to me. i was raised in a family where anxiety is “just part of life” and everytime i try to talk to my parents about it they shut me down saying things like “i get anxious too” or “you need to work out more”. while i’ve tried to do the things they recommend, eating healthy, working out, staying off my phone, my anxiety is very much still there. i experience obsessions and compulsions frequently but have just learned to deal with them because i had to. they’re also not always constant anymore, i do have days without anxiety. my boyfriend has recently started lexapro and is on 5 milligrams for his own anxiety and he said that he feels so much better even after just two weeks and he thinks it wouldn’t be a bad idea to try to get on it myself. i agreed at first but after talking to my parents they again made me feel like my anxiety wasn’t bad enough or that i was making it up and that i didn’t need medication, i just needed to learn how to manage. yesterday i had another conversation with my boyfriend about this and he said he felt really bad about all the stuff i go through. (this anxiety and also some physical issues which is either EDS or POTS) but to me, and how my parents think of the whole situation, i think im fine “because its just part of life” now im afraid that im shutting out my own emotions bc thats how my parents think i should be. i just don’t know what to do. i know my bf is right and that im not a liar and everything i experience is real but i’ve gotten so good at living with it and its not as often that its debilitating that i don’t think i deserve medication. i don’t even know if its actually ocd because im not diagnosed but i talk to my brother and one of my friends (who are diagnosed) and we go through the same things. idk what to do or how to feel. i know my bf is worried about me but i don’t want to be dramatic or let my anxiety control my life
