How old was you when you got your ocd. Is it even possible to get it at 34? Someone I knew was involved with something that seemingly triggered me. I am a dad and was normal in September, how can your life feel like it’s been stolen from you. I can’t enjoy anything anymore. Please can we have a discussion of how you best deal with it. People that have beaten it? I don’t want this ever.

ERP is the gold standard of OCD treatment. Which is provided right here through NOCD!

It’s never been a dominant theme, but I’ve had thoughts here or there. I’ve had OCD since I was 7 or 8 and I’m 34 now. So, over the years I’ve had all manner of thoughts.

I started having problems with OCD when I was 15. It started with Sexual Orientation OCD, I was scared I was suddenly attracted to other women. When I was 19 I got a new theme with TOCD. I was terrified that I was suddenly wanting to become FTM trans. And I don’t really remember when I first started having problems with POCD. A few years ago maybe, possibly around 21-22. But I just started having a bad flare up last month and it’s been hell ever since. I’m 25 now.

It is tough to deal with. Does it deminish so you feel like you can function.

Hey sorry I am still dealing with mine but there was 4 months that I was fine. I did some of my own erp after watching a therapist on youtube (not recommend but my wife supported me) and after the first crazy anxiety episode it got better. My mind realized Hey! Nothing happened and you're okay. It's a long hard journey but you got this! You are not happy with the idea right? That's already a good sign!

I’d trade anything for this.
