We’re here for u- going thru a similar thing... have been begging my mom to get me a therapist for like 6 months now and she’s still in denial about everything I’m going thru... it’s so hard when ur suffering so much and u have no access to help but j know u aren’t alone and there are a bunch of people struggling with similar things... don’t lose sight of ur inner strength♥️ also- if u need it- something that has helped me in the meantime while I wait to get professional help- the ocd stories podcasts and Chrissie Hodge’s YouTube channel- just puts everything in perspective and helps me externalize all of this just a little bit. I am thinking about you and hope you can get help soon. Here for you if you ever need it. Good luck!

It’s good to know I have a place here with folks who actually get it! Connecting with others with similar struggles does help break up some of the shame we experience as OCD sufferers. I’m sorry to hear that family has been a barrier to your getting treatment. John Hershfield wrote a book When a loved one Has Ocd that I heard was pretty good. But I know how family can be sometimes, I’ve tried to explain my OCD countless times, and I still get stigmatized responses. But I do my best to advocate. You’ve got me rethinking my situation, that there is still SOMETHING I can do. Thanks for raising up my spirits. I love both of those wonderful advocates! I need to get back into listening again, just been so depressed. Thanks so much and I’m here as well to talk to anytime!

If you have the resources would you consider travelling to a site where they do intensive OCD therapy over a weekend?

I definitely can’t afford out-of-pocket right now, but maybe if a scholarship was involved. I’m not sure if any places offer those? I do have Medicaid, but it seems like most places wouldn’t take that anyway. Is there a program you know of?
