Anyone housebound ? It’s so hard to leave my house

Yes. I am. I went from fully functional to housebound. I am sorry you are experiencing this .

Yes Rogers helped me for sure never heard of Amita

I don’t really know just guessing but they say it’s all the same BS anyway watever the obsession is, it’s just ocds way of trying to trick us

I’m sorry to hear this too, how long have you been housebound if you don’t mind me asking ?

I have been housebound for two months. You can ask me anything. It would be nice to chat with Someone

This happened to me about 15 years ago. My daughter was in grade school at the time. I was washing the dishes and gazing out the window when all of a sudden BAM! I get this thought “you can’t go outside anymore or your daughter will die”. Well needless to say I was horrified. I mean I have to take her to school. Etc etc shopping. Etc. so I laid in bed for a full day and my husband came in and asked me what was wrong. I broke down and told him in full crying mode. He pulled me out of bed and forced me outside and told me to go take a walk to the store. I cried the whole way. And I don’t really recommend this. But. ....problem solved. I wish it was that easy now. My ocd doesn’t back down

Oh wow. I am so sorry. That is horrible.

I am very ashamed to admit what mine is. I always had very mild ocd. Then six months ago, I started having this thought, I might say something racist. Then it became so bad, I had a suicide attempt. so the doctor switched my meds and they are very slowly working.

Nothing to be ashamed of! I have harm, pedo, and other themes so I have felt very ashamed too-but we aren’t our themes! Sorry to hear of your suicide attempt, I’ve been very suicidal myself, glad you are here and stay strong!!

It is so scary when you don’t know what it is! I’ve been there.. I also think I have ptsd too. Yes erp works ! I did it before and it helped, now I have to get back to it intensely, I hope things get better for you! 🙏

You can and will get better ! Erp works, are you going to see a therapist ? Thanks for your support too ❤️

I was seeing an NOCD therapist but she said i was so sick she wanted me to go to outpatient. However the outpatient hospital is four weeks away. I am wondering if I can try NOCD again?

Oh which hospital program ? I went to Rogers winter 2019, may need it again now, yeah maybe you can to help u before you start the outpatient

I was accepted into Rogers and Amita Health. However both have a long wait.

Was Rogers good?

Good Morning Hope. If you do not mind me asking, which theme did Rogers help you with? Also did that theme come back? I am feeling very bad today.

Sure, I worked on my pedo and harm ocd there, it is back again now unfortunately :(, I relapsed, what are your fears ?

I am sorry you relasped. Mine is ocd and racism. It started this year and it is very severe.

I was slowly suffering for six months and then all of a sudden it got really bad. I was so ashamed bc i had no idea what the hell was happening to me. During this time though, I was also dealing with workplace bullying. And i was also stressed and nervous.

I’m sorry to hear that too! You can overcome this 🙏 have faith , are you working still ?

I am out on FMLA. In early March it was like a light switch went on 24/7 I was crying, had an intense fear, and my intrusive thoughts were non stop. I went from fully functional to living in a bedroom. I was too scared to go to the hospital bc of fear i was a racist.

i’ve been housebound for over 10 years :(

So sorry to hear. What type does mine fall under? Fear of being a racist?

Not sure I guess just pure o , ocd can be about absolutely anything, currently I’m obsessed with my clothing and not being exposed or inappropriate or showy, even fear of wegies, it’s made my life misery

*Or maybe moral ocd ? (Fear of being racist)

Thanks. I feel really sad and defeated. Luvox is not working and neither did NOCD. I have been waiting two months for rogers. I just cannot wait to get there.

I’m sorry that is awful, I feel the same way right now, just totally in a black hole, we can get out of this, I take things moment to moment these days and will probably call out sick again from work tomorrow need to do fmla asap, I’m sending my support I know how terrible and absolutely excruciatingly hard this is, stay strong 🙏❤️

I am housebound and have been for a year now. If you want to talk please add me I get lonely.
