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 feel like it's got to a point that I just can't deal with stuff on my own anymore. I've tried to help myself with compulsions and thoughts and behaviours and it helps to an extent but I feel like I just need more help. But I don't even know where to start, I've felt so ignored in the past and I don't even know where you can turn to. I'm in the UK so it's difficult, especially considering I'm only 17, to get any help for this kind of thing. I just want someone to talk to, something to help ā medication, maybe? I want to try it, I want to see if it would stop the overthinking for a while. Stuff isn't as bad as it has been before, but I feel like I can't just leave this anymore. I just don't know who to turn to or where to go from here.

Iāve been trying my best with ERP and just everything thatās going on. I have severe OCD, GAD, PMDD, panic disorder, recently diagnosed ADHD, and currently experiencing a major depressive episode. Apparently. I was taking a break from this app but I really need support right now. My family is honestly really mean and not understanding of what Iām going through. Right now itās gotten bad to the point I had to withdrawal from my last semester of university. My only support is my boyfriend and heās now planning to join the military. I wonāt be able to talk to him for 3 months and I feel really scared of being alone with all of this. I know I shouldnāt depend on him to begin with but right now Iām at an extremely low point and I feel like I wonāt make it alone. There hasnāt been a single day we havenāt texted and talked in 4 years. I feel really scared, but I donāt want to hold him back. You guys, I feel so sad and terrified right now. I donāt want him to go, heās all I have.

Hi I kept seeing this app on repeat on TikTok over and over and I thought I give it a shot. I have never been diagnosed with OCD but I know that I have it. Iām a young adult and I found out the first time I had OCD was watching lelelons truth video? I was 14 at the time She had to resist sitting back down in a chair after her having sat down she started having a mental break down when she was told to resist. Thatās when I knew. It started with myself going up and down a staircase twice buckling unbuckling my seat belt everytime Iām in the car ect I have always been super anti social but trying my best I can socialize but my mind wants to make it sexual with family and friends ughhhh I hate it because thatās not me when I graduated thoughts of hurting my loved ones corrupted my mind I broke down outside of church one time asking if this was really me or not i question if Iām a good enough friend or person in this world to begin with thinking everyone is judging me so so close how can I make this situation better did I do something wrong I struggle with depression as well not to bad but itās there I come from a loving family but broken as well i believe in god and my OCD makes me go often heās not real that stuff isnāt real no one is there to save you the list goes on. Anyway I struggle a lot and I really hope that this will help me because I feel extremely hopeless. Lucky for me I do have the ability to seek therapy and I am excited. The only person I ever tell my thoughts to is God no other human has heard so Iām really really hoping this helps me out if your reading this thank you it means a lot because this is my first time ever admitting all this itās a lot to take in I know and I hope you are ok and that you have a great night and know that we got this
