OCD disorder
Hello, I would like to know if anyone is coping with OCD disorder successfully?
I had this about for five years and I just discovered what it is called. Now I feel kinda peace because there are others who have thoughts like that. I think I made my conditions worse so far by trying to eliminate them.
Can you give me some advice or experience about that? It'd be great help
Hi! Mental illness runs in my family, so ,when I started to show signs of OCD when I was 12, we knew what it was. It started out with counting, compulsive hand washing, and some pretty nasty intrusive thoughts. My parents are the "deal with it on your own" type, so I didn't seek help until I felt like I was putting my life in danger by not doing so...... 1 reply
not sure if it'll help, but i learned the hard way that if you try to fight off and ignore the intrusive thoughts then they'll get worse so just let the thoughts pass. It will make you suffer or even make you disgusted with yourself if it's some sort of taboo subtype OCD but it will end, at least for that specific day. reply
