Well I don't think this is ocd related but I take collagen powder in my water. Its made my skin and hair better :) so you'll probably feel a bit more pretty which is a confidence boost 😂

Keeping your body healthy definitely helps to keep your mind healthy, but i reccomend that you get a blood test before taking any supplements, unless you know that your diet doesn't provide you with sertain vitamins and minerals. My doctor, for example, recommend me to take d3, but you never know what you in particular need.

Also you can always experiment with teas, different herbal ones help to calm down

Thanks. I will say that currently I barely eat. Like, I might eat once a day. I’m doing very poorly. Working on it but wanted to add some supplements in the meantime.

@BritD Replying to myself. I should specify it’s not an earring disorder, I just completely lose my appetite when I’m anxious

@BritD I believe in you :). Perhaps try multivitamins in the meantime? Might sound basic, but thats what people usually recommend for those who struggle with food in general. Also maybe some form of protein, like powder or bars.

@BritD I have had a lot of appetite loss due to anxiety. Eating is super important tho to keep your body stable so your mind can be stable. My OCD is always made worse by not eating enough, so I drink a lot of boost/ensure protein shakes. When I’m really unable to do even that, there are these things made by nestle called benecalorie, it’s 1.5 tbsp of liquid that has 330 calories and 7g of protein. They’re pretty flavorless so you can mix them into most drinks or smoothies or something like that.

My psychiatrist prescribed me folic acid to help with getting up in the morning. Does it work for me? I’m not sure lol but I guess there is science behind it

Medication or supplements
Hiii - hope everyone is having a good day! Has anyone found any type of medication or supplements helpful with thinking sooo deeply about everything and intrusive thoughts? I’m in therapy + doing erp but my brain in this relapse of ocd just thinks sooo deep into my brain and i can’t seem to not to do it pull myself out. Like I’m just paranoid. An example would be if i simply look at my arm I’ll think so deeply about it like what’s under my arm what’s it look like inside etc. but if anyone not in this cycle looks at their arm they’ll be like hmm ok cool my arm and move on w their day. Just looking to see if anyone has had a similar experience of what I’m feeling rn.

Did SSRI’s help you?
I just got my SSRI’s and I’m kinda nervous to take them so I was wondering if anyone has had a good or bad experience with them.
