Thanks! I've been diagnosed with OCD for a while and have had it all my life but I only just got diagnosed with having PTSD on top of that the other day, how are you working on your PTSD if you don't mind me asking, like, what type or Therapy do you do for it?

I would also recommend looking into EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) for treating PTSD. It’s basically a therapy designed for processing and coping with the feelings you have attached to specific memories with the goal of changing the feelings that come up over time. I think of it as training my brain to no longer be so scared/sad/anxious/etc. when I remember certain events. It’s not for everyone, but I’ve had success with it!

My official diagnoses from the psychiatrist are: OCD PTSD Major Depressive disorder Generalized anxiety disorder Social anxiety I’m currently switching meds from lexapro to Zoloft and he said there is a chance we will need to add in other meds along with the Zoloft. I am doing erp to focus on the ocd first and then I will move to trauma therapy after

I've got those two! I think for me a huge part of recovery and healing was going through different types of therapy. I started a few years back with EMDR for the trauma, and ERP now for the OCD.

Comorbidities
Hi guys, This is my first post on here, as I’ve been scared to be vulnerable in this way. I’ve had a lifelong journey of mental health, diagnosed with a myriad of things, and misdiagnosed with others. When I got diagnosed with OCD, things started to click and treatment has been going well. There’s still a disconnect, things I do that are different than others and aren’t compulsion or obsession related. The reason I’m posting is to ask if anyone has been diagnosed with OCD/Autism and how you navigated that comorbidity. Thank you to anyone who shares

PTSD
I have been looking into healing my brain and body from all the damage ocd/stress has caused. I have discovered that I have a mild form of ptsd, which is to be expected since I had religious ocd. I have nightmares, anxiety attacks, frequent digestive problems (lack of appetite/overeating), and depressive episodes. I'm starting back at school in August and I can barely leave the house. I don't see how I can have a normal life. I feel alone and stupid, and like all the opportunities given me were wasted *and blessings. I feel like a disappointment to my parents. The one thing I want in life is to love God with all my heart mind and soul but OCD is attacking my mind 24/7 to the point where it takes away my intimacy with Christ Jesus, and I can't hear Him. I feel like crying and screaming at God just to make it stop, why would He leave me to suffer when I know He loves me and I know what He has done for me? I can't live like this much longer.
