Stop asking those “what if” questions. They don’t help and just keep you going in circles

You will not get sent back from therapist to therapist. You gotta believe and speak into exisitence that this is the help you need and that you will receive. And I mean this in no offense because I do the same thing: but the fact that you are asking about this displays OCD symptoms to me. I’ve been dealing with severe OCD, Anxiety, ADD, and ADHD since I was 4. I’ve asked questions like this so many times in my 25 years. You will get the help you need! Your OCD is just scared that it’s finally gonna get it’s butt whooped. You got this hang in there!

@mcic You’re not trust me. Everyone on here in some type of way feels alone because no one around them physically understands the struggles. For me I’m the fifth generation on my dads side of the family to deal with these issues. My dad has the same issues. But for me personally I don’t want to burden him so I do feel alone at times. But I found this app and I have my therapist and psychiatrist and then are trained and educated to deal with people who have this mental illness. They try to the best of their ability to understand because they care about us and helping us get better. The people around you may not fully understand but if you open up and give them a tiny glimpse I’m certain they will try their best to understand and help you get better. And idk if you believe in god but just know that you aren’t ever alone because god has got you in his hands and won’t ever let you fall. You have a greater purpose and this is just a way for you to be able to help others. Is it unfair? Hell yes but just know that once you find what works for you and your ocd, you can share that with others and others can share their techniques with you!

@Anonymous For a long time my responses to things were very mean and snippy and short. I didn’t even realize it until someone pointed it out and then I felt terrible. Now at 25 I respond to things better and more calmly!

I do belive in God. I’ve got various theories centered around the God of the Bible, I just don’t know which one I believe yet if that makes any sense. Anyway, I’m worried that instead of feeling this way, the way I’ve felt for about 4 months now going away, that I’m just going to get used to this feeling and I don’t want that at all. Getting used to this current feeling isn’t a solution to me it’s a nightmare

I get you on that. For me having these intrusive thoughts for the past 2 months has been all I’ve know and I’ve been praying for them to go away/ subside. But I’m finding out that as I get better that I feel like I should be thinking about them which is crazy because I’ve been begging not to think about them😭 just know that once you get better you will adapt to a new norm

Hi, this is my first time posting here, though I have been looking at the app for support for a while already. I have pretty bad social anxiety which unfortunately extends to even being in forums online as well, so I have been putting off sharing on here. I am in my early 40s and have struggled with OCD in various forms since I was a child. In my mid-teens it exploded into very tormenting Pure O. It is complicated by some comorbidity with other diagnoses — social and generalized anxiety, depression, and CPTSD. The sad thing is that I’ve actually experienced so much harm over the years at the hands of uneducated mental health professionals who didn’t have a clue about OCD or how to work with it, and i feel like I carry this extra burden of shame and trauma from those bad experiences on top of the grueling daily struggle I have with my mental health diagnoses. I am set up to have an initial consultation appointment soon with a therapist who is a psychologist in private practice. They seem kind and very knowledgeable, and so I am very hopeful that we will be a good fit for working together. But I am still haunted by those past bad experiences, and so the whole process of starting with someone new is nerve wracking. Has anyone else had bad experiences with therapists who didn’t understand OCD or who had only a superficial understanding of it? Thanks for reading!

Therapists
I'm currently visiting my third therapist in the last three years and none of them have helped me so far. None of them have given me any type of diagnosis so I'm not even sure if I actually have OCD, and it's driving me mad. The last session I had, I even felt like it made things worse rather that it helped. I wanna feel that trust to my therapist that you should feel to be able to share your emotions but I don't. I feel like its not going anywhere, like it's useless. Lately I've been thinking about finding a therapist here at NOCD, I've even looked up some specific people and they all seem really nice and sweet.

Pure OCD
I’m so devastated. I made an appointment through NOCD and they cancelled me. I have Medicaid and at first they said they took it but I got an email back saying they don’t. I offered to pay out of pocket because at this point I’m willing to pay the amount but they still rejected me. The place where I was supposed to find help and they turn me away and I’m drowning mentally. I feel so hurt and ignored. I finally reach out. Where else am I supposed to find a OCD specialist??
