If things feel dark right now and you can’t see a light, let this be that light: Hey guys I just want to post a little encouragement. I’ve had OCD all my life and lately my relationship OCD has been so severe that I decided to reach out to NOCD for help & I haven’t had my first therapy session yet, that’s Saturday. But since I’ve found this community a few days ago it’s allowed me to watch webinars, find accounts and resources, and I’m even beginning some of the practice of sitting in uncertainty. I found out thru this community about different vitamins & supplements to help balance out the neurotransmitters that cause OCD sufferers. I have only been on these & practicing “sitting in uncertainty” for 2 days and I am already feeling so much better, after seriously being in one of the most hopeless places of my life thinking I would not ever escape intrusive thoughts. I really finally think recovery may be possible. I see a glimmer of hope and I know that I must share it because when it feels dark the light is hard to see.

What are the vitamins and supplements?

Great question! In addition to a B-complex (B vitamins are very important), I also have started on Inositol, and a GABA-L-Theanine-Taurine supplement. I will also be adding fish oil soon for my omega 3’s, and a daily probiotic. These are all naturally occurring amino acids and supplements to balance out the OCD sufferers glutamate response (aka stress). I looked online for valid sources and found several that discuss OCD supplements and all. There is limitless info out there and the more I learn the more things I will add.
