Hi Matt! I’m Cassidy! I’ve struggled with severe OCD since I was 4 years old. I was the most severe case my well known psychiatrist has ever seen. I suffer from all types of OCD. I used to have a lot compulsions but as of just recently I have been able to stop them almost completely. I do however unfortunately have intrusive thoughts. They come and go but currently they have been around for 2 months. I currently have two therapy appointments a week and am on quite a bit of meds, which I always have been. I currently am on 700mg of Seroquel, 200mg of Zoloft, 200mg of Lamictal, and 30mg twice a day of Buspar. I’m currently pregnant so I was on Klonopin (0.50 mg twice a day) but unfortunately I cannot take it. Everyday is a battle but you are not alone and I’m so glad you are able to share with us. ❤️
Also I’m 25!

Hi Matt! Im Chiara! Im 21, first time i god ocd i was just 9. I used to have compulsions (i used to touch everything on the ground when i was walking). My parents took me to a psychologist and she helped me and i never had ocd again since last December/January (so, more than 10/11 years ocd free!). I started with intrusive thoughts but no compulsions. I have harm ocd, existential ocd and a lot of anxiety. Im back to therapy and now that im older i started taking Zoloft 25mg (after a talk to a psychiatrist). Now im at week 4 with Zoloft and im starting feeling better. A little bit less anxious and my thoughts are more manageable. I think that i’ve got a lot to do, but im on my way to get better ☺️
Nice to meet you Chiara!☺️
Hi! I'm Brenda, 21. I first noticed my compulsions around 12 years old, and I've noticed it gets worse when I have to deal with grief and loss (mainly in the last year and a half or so). I've never spoken to someone about it, because I'm terrified to make phone calls. But I'm working on that.
Nice to meet you Brenda! ☺️
Thank you everyone for sharing. I got OCD when I was 12. It started with me worrying about silly things. Such as if I touched the wall and the paint would have poison that would kill me. But recently I will think about things I have done in the past, not even bad things, and it’s been hard to get them out of my head.
Hi. Does anyone out there have Suicide OCD? If so, I’d love to chat. It’s a new theme for me and extremely scary. Just would like to talk to someone who is experienced with it. Thanks!
Hi everyone! I am a University student with moderate OCD. I was wondering if anyone else on this app is also a college student? If so, how has OCD been impacting you during the pandemic? I would love to discuss with anyone who is willing how COVID has impacted you and what tricks you’ve found for coping. I’ve had a bit more trouble with my OCD than normal.
Hello! I am new to this app even though I have struggled with OCD almost all my life. I am a college student, almost twenty years old plagued with intrusive thoughts mostly dealing with sexuality and real events. I am happy that I will get to know people who also has OCD and will not make me feel alone. As a starter, how old are ya’ll and how was your experience with this distressful mental illness? I hope all of ya’ll are having a peaceful day 😊
