Thanks I'm glad to be a part of this community. Atleast there are like minded people here who really understand these things. How should I get treated for it? Is there anything to reduce it?

I just want you to know that I hear you right now. This disorder can be incredibly debilitating and people often don't realize the depths it can take a person especially when they are in the trenches of their symptoms and it makes them question everything about themselves. I want you to know, too, that just because you have a house, a family, other things to be "grateful" for, that doesn't invalidate your struggle at all. You can have those things *and* *still* *need* *help*. That's okay. That doesn't mean anything negative about YOU. This disorder is just really, really debilitating and especially without treatment. Now with that said - NOCD does offer payment plans and does take some insurances. Have you reached out to our care team for a free 15 minute phone call/consultation? They will be able to discuss more with you regarding payment plans, pricing, etc. In the meanwhile, we do have some tools on our app that I'd encourage you to check out if you havent already. The IOCDF along with our website also has great resources. Best of luck in your recovery - you've got this!

Thank you ma'am. I found this community by chance and I'm happy to be a part of it. It is terrible when people avoid you and feel that you are a blot of shame on society worth being boycotted. I am yet to consult as I was occupied with my entrance exam councelling. I'll consult tomorrow. Thanks again ma'am. š

I have OCD, but my parents donāt understand what Iām going through. All I wanted was for someone to be by my side and support me, but they dismiss my struggles, telling me to "just stop thinking" and that Iām making a big deal out of nothing. When I asked for a new therapist because my current one isnāt helpingāshe isnāt even an OCD specialistāthey became angry and didn't believe I need therapy and instead blame me for everything. My father was so mad, he insist to gave me a knife and kill myself. He threatened to isolate me completely, cutting me off from school, the internet, and everything else. My mom cried and shut me down when I tried to explain my pain. They refuse to listen and my dad said itās all my fault. That day they threw me outside the house for a night, and called me back in telling me to forget everything and forgive them, but I understood that I will not be able to mention anything about my mental health or seeing an OCD specialist ever again, I am completely alone now. With no financial support, and now I donāt know if Iāll ever get the proper therapy I need. Iām only 15, but it feels like Iāll be trapped in this suffering forever, I feel hopeless, I feel like shit, I am going to suffer forever with no support and help.

Hello, I unknowingly have lived with ROCD or OCD (not sure what one. Iām new to this). It has ruined so many amazing romantic and platonic relationships and I am so sad that just now I am finding out what the hell is wrong with me. Maybe life would be different if I have known. My OCD and anxiety is at an all time high (ATH) due to some horrible events that have happened in the recent months. I am at the point where paranoia has taken over my life now. I had my first panic attack a few weeks ago where I fainted. My anxiety attacks are so extreme I go thought cognitive distortion that has lasted days. My girlfriend of 3 years is my emotional guardian and she no long has the energy to be that and honestly itās not her responsibility to be that. She is bi and wanted to have an open relationship and for someone who has OCD this has not been good for me. She also was assaulted in my own home by a good friend of ours when I was out of town but itās not a clear situation because it sounded consensual at first. I just left my very high paying job. I am financially secure but the job was emotionally abusive and looking back made my OCD worse. I am taking some time off to get my head rightā¦but now, all I have to do during the day is live in my OCD. Iām very happy I finally figured out why I act the way I do but I donāt know if I can get better quick enough to save my relationship. I have never been so worried about myself (M 28 years old). I am a confident young professional and never thought I would be writing on a page like this. Anywayā¦I hope it gets better.

I am not from a rich family. Please someone help me. I can't do anything because the thoughts don't make me progress. I have no friends at university. No one talks to me.Help me, help me, please.
