Yes. I never had medication but I did have ACT based therapy, and I attend workshops/support groups online. I also read a ton about ERP and ACT and was able to apply it with a lot of success. I believe I caught myself before my compulsions got out of control, and I've improved immensely since then. There was a lot of thoughts like 'Am I sick enough to deserve treatment? Is this actually real?'. I decided to take the risk that it wasn't real and get help anyway. I'm doing very well now, I'm just posting here lately to try and help people who were in the same position as me two years ago :)

Therapy helped a lot , I still have physical anxiety tho. So I went through a couple of meds , I’m finally on one that works and therapy works better now as well. I’m living my best life, just came back from vacation that I wholly enjoyed and now back to work and school. I look forward to life now so that’s a plus.

Like with me, I’m just kind of an anxious guy, like on my best days I still have little fears and anxieties and that’s fine...generally I like myself...it’s just sometimes (usually when I’m tired or have been eating unhealthily or am stressed) I’ll just get triggered and can’t handle my ocd for a bit...like I guess my dream is to just keep myself from letting it get on top of me, so I can live my normal life as a somewhat anxious individual

Hopeless
I know everything im dealing with is OCD. I have accepted that, but I just feel down. I don’t want to live the rest of my life like this. I just want to be free from this horrible illness. Any positive stories and recovery journeys will help. What did recovery look like for you? I used to be so happy, I miss it so much. This feels like it’s taken everything from me. How do you just live your life despite how you feel? Any hope will help!

Medication or treatment?
I understand that everyone is different but lately I have been debating on medication just because of past experiences but does anyone have any good experiences with medication that has helped them with their OCD as well as therapy or treatment? As of now I’m dealing with it by myself but it feels like it may be getting worse

Share recovery stories as I am in need of hope!
This is killing me slowly day by day, im a straight female 20 years old, i started getting hocd after a break up with an ex and coming off intense use of 🍁🍃 for a few years on and off, i think it has messed up my brain so bad… my hocd is weird because ive been with men my whole life always wanted to be with men.. i also used to always question every relationship “do i love him? Does he love me? Am I with the right person?” Anyways after my hocd triggered my tocd due to researching hocd and finding they can often be linked, I started getting tocd and it’s worse then ever because it’s not who I want to be and I’m going back to situations where my abusive ex partner called me a “man” during a fight. I’ve always been a tomboy but never had same sex attraction. Help. This is killing me. I haven’t been able to study or leave the house most days, and work! I’ve lost motivation for everything and I’m in a dark hole. I need some success stories please
