Hi everyone, I am Matt, I’m 24, and my OCD came back. I was wondering if anyone else can reach out to contact me and share their experiences.

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. ❤️

Hi Matt, we made a support group if you're interested ❤ https://t.me/joinchat/iddAfyrudnI4ZjA8

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 ☺️

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.

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.
