When I only found out I actually have an OCD, I found a video by Katie d'Ath. She compared an intrusive thought to the train that you don't actually have to hop on and just let this train pass by, with no reaction to it. Then I was watching more videos on youtube and listening to people who also have OCD. I would never wish anyone ro have this mental disorder, but not being alone with this case is calming. And then I found NOCD app and it was an extra wave of reassurance. I can't be thankful enough for its existence. So, for me, listening to people who knows about OCD is the way. But OCD is a ride on a roller coaster. So there are moments when nothing can help you to reassure yourself. You have to just go through this((

@Anon1294 Overcoming Unwanted Intrusive Thoughts was an amazing book in my opinion. Is there any book that you would recommend?

@Tulipwood Free Yourself from OCD by Jonah Lakin, it broke down the science of why our brains react the way they do and it put things in perspective

Those of you who have overcome at least a bit, if not all, of your OCD. When you went through the CBT and ERP, did it feel like the end of the world? And how did you face the fact that your fears and uncertainties might actually come to life?

Hey friends, I hope you all are well. I just wanted to check in and ask people's experiences about being on medication. I have had OCD pretty much my whole life, just got recently diagnosed 4 months ago and my therapist recommended that I get on meds for it so I have a psychiatrist appointment set up. I'm a little apprehensive about getting on them, but I've realized that I do have some sort of chemical imbalance in my brain that plays a part in my OCD and anxiety. I would love to hear anyones experiences or words of encouragement. Thank you, I hope you all are well.
