From people who came through it
“If you're just starting with OCD, I won't lie, it's crap. The thoughts feel real. They're not. ERP is hard and it works, slowly. Meds can help, but finding the right one is a pain. Don't let anyone tell you it's just stress. Get a therapist who knows OCD. And find one person who believes you. That's what got me through.”
Paper Elk · been through ocd“For 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.”
Vasie · been through ocd“I was in the same place in 2022. I remember pure O and nobody understanding like it was yesterday. I got a new job this spring.”
rain.bus05 · been through ocd“If 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.”
