Xanthi Greece

New Zealand

Hahaha wow! I posted this right before my lunch break ended & I’m surprised how many people answered! Thanks for the input! Its a nice feeling and knowing how many people around the world have OCD.

Haha thanks for the shout out. It's always weird being the lone kiwi.

Greece is Marvellous.Its worth to pay a visit here especially at the Islands.

Seattle, WA!

North Carolina USA

Nj!

Clinton township, Michigan 1!1!

Shout out to the UK for sure! I listen to the ocd stories podcast a lot and the guy who hosts the show is from the UK. Ive learned a lot not only about ocd but the uk as well! Cheers!

Ooo steevie, where can i find this podcast ?

You can visit the ocd stories website or type in the ocd stories on youtube and watch it visually...also if you have Spotify or apple music you can find it on their as well ?

Shout out to all the people too from the states ? I hope you guys are receiving what is called the gold standard for OCD treatment which is ERP and ACT.

I’m in Chicago, illinois!

Thank you Steeviee

Theres not much in NJ unfortunately. Hope you’ve found treatment here that has helped!

I understand how you feel by the way when it comes to the insurance part too...the places that do except mine basically do only talk therapy for OCD without exposures which isn’t helpful. Keep your head up and if i can help out, i’m more than happy...google them and get a number. It may take like a few weeks to get in and they touch base with you via phone to see if you do have whatever issue your dealing with...not only ocd but they help with anxiety, depression, etc...just be open and honest with them so they can set a good therapist for you.

Hahah yeah I knew what you meant.

Greece is definitely one of the countries I would like to see and especially try out some food too.

Indeed, the food is amazing

Hey Aela ?? Believe it or not Rutgers has an amazing program that does ERP & ACT combined. It’s basically college grads working with people to get some time under their belt. They know there stuff too since its still fresh in their heads.

My ocd is bugging me for not shouting out Greece and New Zealand hahaha thanks everyone. Super humbling to be chatting with people around the world.

Did you go there? My insurance unfortunately doesn’t cover a lot and most places don’t accept it regardless ?. Ive been getting by on my own though!

Yeah I go there to receive treatment for my OCD. They’re good not only with your basic visible compulsions but also more of your pure O aka intrusive thoughts.

You dont need insurance to go there either...its 50 bucks per visit.

Just a heads up though...it may be a bit of a drive depending where you live but Jersey is small and they stay open till 8. They use the campus out of piscattay. They actually have their own separate office so technically your not on campus.

Piscattaway* I think thats how you spell it...
