I am also curious to know how old everyone on here is and how long you’ve been struggling with OCD

I’m 21! I’ve been struggling with ocd since I was 7 or 8 (really ever since I can remember) but I didn’t know what it was until I was a senior in high school.

I’m 38 and was just diagnosed in April, along with ASD (Asperger’s). I’m thankful but also still struggling to come to terms with all of it. I feel like I’ve always been this way, for the most part, but I know at age 15 or so my symptoms increased significantly. Things became unbearable in the last year because I was having trouble keeping up with my work. I didn’t expect to receive the diagnosis that I did.

I’m 25 now. Have had OCD for more than 10 years. Life is tough even without OCD, we must recognize that we have been doing the best thing we know.

Dsarahm for me it’s not a main trigger of anxiety, only speaking exams which I have to give in an anxiety note so I don’t have to do it in front of people. The main exams that I have in year 11 so next school year still stress me out a lot because I have to get certain grades to do the job I want when I’m older which is scary because it all depends on those exams. I have a counciler from the lowdown which I think helps a lot and is free so I recommend speaking to them about it if it’s really bad.

Hi! I’m new here!
A huge thank you to everyone. I am new to the app. I’m 28 years old and only recently discovered that my thoughts are a result of my OCD. It’s been so reassuring to hear other people managing the same thoughts I’ve been having.

It kinda mind boggling to me how OCD can even cause stuff to happen to us physically as well. And it all feeling real. It only reminds me how flawed our bodies really are. If people were to hear of our situations they'd call us names and choose to stay ignorant. People fear what they cannot understand. Before this I could have possible have been one of them, but here I am. OCD really goes for anybody. Does not matter what ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation you are. It is a twisted disorder that likes to make others lives harder. If I were to tell myself before this that this would happen, I would'nt believe it. I was convinced I am evil, I cried for weeks. I had to sleep in my parents bedroom for a period of time cause I couldn't face the darkness alone. This application helped me greatly during this, cause I learned just as much about OCD as I did about myself. At the same time I get saddened cause I see people going through the exact same, or much worse. If any who come across this post have any questions for me, u can feel free to do so
