Im about to give up. Im trying to be strong but it will never go away. I have read that most People recover after 6-8 month. I have had this since November 2014. It is not getting better, only worse
Stay positive stay motivated stay strong, you'll get through this, I'm here for you if need someone talk to
Why are you comparing yourself to others? I know people who have had HOCD for 10 years. It's not relevant how many years you've had it. The only relevant in all of this is how you do to free yourself from the demonic OCD.
@luxury you have a point. I have practice ERP and Im seeing a therapist specialized in CBT. I know from education that CBT shows good result on OCD patient. But I wonder why it dosent give any effect on me. Thats why im so afraid if its not OCD. Thats scares me. Because what I have heard ERP and CBT should help me.
I have had this since September 2012 and have yet to have professional help. I don't even know where to start? I'm a 20yr old girl.
@Becks1995 Im sorry to hear about your situation. I know that it is really annoying with HOCD. You should start with contacting an OCD specialist. They are educated with those kind of patient. I was also afraid that they would say I was in denial but if you are afraid tell them first you have OCD. They are educated at this form of illness and it will be helpful.
@23yrgrl are these type of services free on the nhs or do you have to pay? I've been to the docs before about depression and mentioned these thoughts and they've kind of just blew th off that's why I'm always anxious to go see someone in case they're like okay you're gay bye ha.
@Becks1995 I live in a country that caregiver is cheap because its financing by the taxes. After have paid a Very low sum I can go free to therapist. And Im thankful for this opportunity. I know thats hard and expensive in some country. But you dont have to go to the expensive one. You can also practising ERP by your own. My suggest is to read online more about it. We are here to support you.
Dont listen to those psychologist that tell you that you should try. Thats why you need see an OCD therapist if you have the opportunity
@23ygrl how do u do your own erp do u have any useful websites ? Thanks for help. I will have to look into OCD specialists where i live
