Hello! I am a new member. I am from Brasil! First of all, I wish all of you a happy new year and i hope to help wth my ocd treatment experience.

Thank you. Well, I learned some tecniques with my therapist to take ocd under control.

@Lilica This is great! Can you tell us more?

@Anja82 Of course. I will come back here here on the next days. So we will can talk more about it. Sorry my english mistakes.

@Lilica No problem, I'm from Germany myself and my English isn't that good either ☺️☺️

@Lilica I am looking forward!

@Anja82 That's great!

@Lilica ❤️❤️

@Anja82 Hi, Anja! It,s Lilica! Happy 2021!!! I told that I woul share my experience of my ocd's treatment. I,ve alread been in cognitive behavioral therapy. Yesterday I wrote about meditation and breathing, and how these resources helps me feel better. How are you? Is everything all right? I hope so. When it's possible, tell me news about you!

@Lilica Hello Lilica! Oh wow, that sounds great! I have my first therapy session next week!! 🙏🏻 Right now I am feeling very bad. My harm OCD is terrible. I haven't had any therapy yet. Yes, I have also wrote about meditation and stuff like this. That should help very well. Have you already done meditation? May I ask what OCD type you have? Happy 2021!! ❤️❤️❤️

@Anja82 Oh, I'm very happy that you are going to start therapy. I think it's a great resource to give us life quality. The therapist knows exactly the techniques that fit to each one specific problems. In my case, my thoughts consists in worries about people who I love, my family, for example. And then to make them less disturbing I have the compulsive behavior, like whashing hands, or checking thinhgs, or perfectionism. But I think I am a few better now, and meditation is a nice tool to help us. There are some cool videos on youtube about guide meditation and it doesn't take so longer. Just about 10 minutes a day can make difference. Well, to try to make you feel a little bit better right now, I'd like to say that any disturbing thouht is just a thought. It's not real. People who suffer from ocd stills have critical sense. We can make difference between what's real from what's unreal. Remember that none of these thoughts is your real desire. It just makes us suffer. So, I hope you feel better and have a good night! Be sure that you are going to make progress in therapy. And, if I can help, please let me Know! God bless you! P.S.: I don't know how to post emojis here.

@Lilica Dear Lilica!! Thank you so much for your words! Yes, I have already noticed many good videos about meditation on you tube too. Yes exactly, that's the thing, the thought always feels so real even though you feel the exact opposite yourself, that's the nasty thing about this disease. I really hope that therapy will help me. I wish you all the best from the bottom of my heart, best regards 💕💕

@Anja82 Dear Anja, thank you so much too. Everything is going to be all right. I wish you all the best, from the bottle of my heart too. Be sure you deserve it. And I trust 2021 will be a wonderful year for all of us. Best regards!!!
