Contact your primary care or a psychiatrist about starting an SSRI. They'll probably start you on the lowest dose (5mg) of lexapro or something and check in with ya in a month to see how its doing. Meds will help kick start your recovery and motivate you to do ERP. If things are becoming too hard for you, PLEASE text HOME to 741741 (its a text crisis line). We all want you here with us! We all understand what you are going through, trust me!

@random_person Ocd is causing your depression, once you beat your ocd and get it under control, you will feel better and depression will go away

It's exhausting and overwhelming. Remember you're dealing with OCD and it's powerful. Also remember that it's not real. Give yourself time to rest by reading or watching a favorite show or talking to someone who is supportive. There are so many people struggling like you are. You're not alone and we understand. Take it one day at a time or one hour at a time; whatever you can handle. And keep in touch this way. You'll get lots of awesome support and that's something we all need.

Help
This is really ruining me and I’m at the lowest point of this. I’m not suicidal or anything and I’m not depressed but I can’t bear with this anymore. POCD is the worst ocd I’ve ever dealt with and I’m too scared to tell a therapist about this. What do I do

I don’t think I can do this anymore
Hi, I’m Camila I am 17 yo (I don’t speak English well, sorry) and like 3 months ago I experimented a severe pure ocd, I always think that I am a good person but now I don’t even think I deserve be alive, I keep remembering things from the past and they don’t let me keep going, I already go to a therapist and maybe I am going to a psychiatrist but I don’t think I can be able to handle this, I don’t want live with this and the thought of km is making me considering it :(
