From people who came through it

  • โ€œI'm not going to tell you everything happens for a reason, it doesn't and but you can get through it so I did, and I'm not especially strong and ask for a double appointment if you can, it changed things for me.โ€

    Barista in Iloilo City ยท been through ocd
  • โ€œHi, you. I was where you are a year and a half ago. Intrusive thoughts that horrify me, every single day. Last month I had people round for dinner. The bad days get further apart. You're not on your own.โ€

    A member ยท been through ocd
  • โ€œFor whoever is where I was: Not that long ago, about a year, that was me. The worst part was hand washing till my skin cracks. I went on holiday in the summer and actually relaxed. It's slow, but it does come back.โ€

    Vasie ยท been through ocd
  • โ€œIf you're at the start of this, I won't pretend it's easy. The first few months were the worst of my life so but I'm writing this from the other side, and some days now I forget to be sad so I started saying no to things and it made a big difference. Go slowly.โ€
