Can you heal from pure ocd symptoms (didn't took any diagnose so just symptoms) by yourself without the help of therapist? I know it sounds stupid but there's no way I'll ask my parents for therapy.
therapy is definitely ideal but i understand that this isn’t the option everyone has access to. generally it feels like breaking pure ocd symptoms is a slow rewriting and change of perspective. i feel like doing exposures at home greatly helped me and my anxiety
Thank you❤️
I advise therapy 100%, but I have been in your shoes and I know what it means when you’re not able to access therapy. I’ll tell you this: you will be able to get rid of a theme by yourself, I managed multiple times, but you will not get rid of the mechanism if you don’t engage in therapy-style activities. What I mean is, perhaps, you should look up some techniques and methods to soothe and easy ocd symptoms online and try to do them yourself. This is what I did when I couldn’t afford therapy anymore and it worked wonders. In short: you defo can, but you need to put in the work!!
Thank you I'll defenitly try it!!❤️
If you cannot afford NOCD therapy, then I highly suggest looking into Nathan Peterson’s course. He is a specialist who created the online course for a fee for people who can’t afford other options. You need guidance.
Thank you I'll check it out❤️
How long did it take to make this? And is it actually possible?
People who went from a really bad time with OCD to a better time now. Is it really possible? What was your theme? Did you take medication?
I have had ocd for decades! Could I still be cured???? (Of you can call it that?) I have seen different therapists but it never had fully left me...not by any stretch of the imagination. I do want to be free of this ocd and its power over me and all the bad that it brought into my life!!! Some days I am strong and feel like I am fighting it put other days...many days...I don't get things done or if I do I take a long time to-do the things I need to get done. I feel like I know this is just then ocd stopping me and that these are just thoughts but nobody in my family understands and though they have shared my journey and hated it a I do.....it just feels like I want so bad to be the best person I coukd be but I avoid places, people, things, that have any reminder of my ocd.......and so it restricts me from getting better and completing tasks the way I used to. Now UI might go and make 2-3 trips cuz I am worried to shop at a place and therefore it takes my time up. The avoidance I do is bad! When I actually don't listen to my ocd and don't avoid something...I feel great! ,However, it happens so rarely!!! I.dont know how finding a therapist through NOCD will help me. It is not in person and two be honest I almost think I need medicine to push me along. I don't have anybsteady and consistent improvements. However, I don't think I want to be on medication for the rest of my life! I am very confused!
