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
Thank you so much for that
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’ve had the odd sexual intrusive thought too
Thanks a lot, I hope you recover too! And thanks for the advice, I shall look her up!
I'm 14 and struggle with hocd as well!
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
You’re welcome
Has medication helped anyone with severe intrusive thoughts. I am considering starting and wanted to know what worked best for people.
my anxiety has been so bad the past couple of days, ive been disassociating several times a day. Its so hard to be alone because of the intrusive thoughts. I barely can even look at my family without vivid images coming in my head. Im so scared i keep asking myself “what if i wanna do it?” “what if i rlly am crazy” “maybe i am my thoughts” “would i ever do this” “what if i just lose control one day”. I dont know anymore im so lost and depressed i just wanna crawl out of my own skin. Someone please give advice because nothing is working. Keep in mind im undiagnosed and i feel so alone and i know i have harm ocd but the doctors and therapist in my state dont care to listen. They wont even give me anything for anxiety, my life is being ruined and im only 13. I just want it to go away, im trying to keep faith in god but i just wish he would help me faster.
I’ve been on Paxil for a year never had anxiety or my one intrusive thought that made me so anxious and stuck , after seeing the Lindsey case I’ve been horrible my doctors upped my Paxil to 40mg still having my one intrusive thought stuck !! Anyone have any ocd medication that really helped them thinking of switching !
