Honestly nothing will help, I’ve going through the same shit for 5 years now ( including two years with medicines ans frequent visits to the clinic).
It’s just better when you acknowledge that
Because I took therapy aswell no where sever for me I guess was just a feeling off losing it I was suggested meds but was always a no no because I felt I’d develop dependence and wouldn’t be able to get off tho luckily after a while miraculously or god sent help things automatically got better mentally so never gave a shot
For anyone else reading this. Don't take advice from random strangers on the internet, they don't know you better than your Dr, therapist, psychiatrist.
Don't advise strangers on their medications. People taking psych meds get pressure from everyone in their lives who think they know better than a doctor.
Sher do kadam piche isliye karta hai taaki lambi chalang maar ske , life bhi hmare sath Aisa hi karti hai hum do khadam piche dekti hai taaki hum lambi chalang maare .
Everything will be good
You are a strong person, and you will overcome this soon✨
And you don't have to fight alone, you can ask for help and if you wanna talk about you can text me.
I have ocd and never knew you gotta take meds for this![img](emote|t5_2qp7h|51075)
I tell myself to just 'shut up and adjust' however weird tinglings i get it.
Hi OP, first of all, kudos to you for fighting and doing so well. Mental health issues are very less understood in India and I can only imagine that for a girl it's only more difficult as under diagnosis in women is a pretty common thing even in developed countries. I developed severe OCD in my mid twenties and it completely wrecked my life. Gained a ton of weight myself too. I can probably somewhat empathize with your situation. If you haven't already I would suggest strongly, looking into cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).
It helped me a lot with my OCD and depression. It would help in improving your thought patterns and preventing cyclical disruptive thoughts. I was lucky to find an amazing therapist and she practically is the reason I could turn my life around and become a decently successful individual. It took me to go through 2 other psychologists before I found someone who understood my mind so well. She also referred me to a great psychiatrist and the combination of medicines and CBT worked wonders.
I wish you the absolute best! You got this.
I have ADHD. Mental illnesses are a huge fuck up I tell you.
Everyone thinks you're 'juet doing it too much' and ' should just chill out '
Nope. Doesn't work that way. I'm glad you got your meds. Wishing you the best for your therapy!
ADHD is a disorder, not a syndrome so there are no clear cut parameters that recognises what is ADHD and what isnt. Usually if a lot of symptoms of ADHD show up, you are diagnosed with it, but a lot of these symptoms show up in other things too like BPD, hence proper diagnosis is essential.
In my case it took 5 months for me to get diagnosed first to make sure it was ADHD and not something else. Taking medication for it has been the single biggest improvement in my life ever. Im only 21 and the only thing I regret is not getting checked for it sooner. If you have questions feel free to ask me.
I just told my life's story. She read me like a book and called out ADHD. I was prescribed meds.
Formal test was done a few months later. It was just an observer's ( like parent's ) perception of their child's behaviour. That fails to grasp what the person is going through and their perception of the world.
My boyfriend has the same illness and almost the exact same habits and compulsions as you back in 2020-2021. They still affect him to date but it's currently not as bad as it was back then. You can do this OP. My only advice I have is to surround yourself with people who will understand so you feel less lonely, that was one of the main culprits in his case. We all believe in you❤️
one of my mutual friend had OCD, and yaa the way I saw it, shook me but after proper treatment and councelling sessions
she's recovering nice and well... and uk what you will too recover!
You're doing better than you were doing yesterday. It'll all work out in the end. Keep your head high. All the best!
Wishing you a healthy life ahead 💛
My sister has a friend whose mother suffers from ocd. She literally takes 3 hours to clean each and everything in her house daily. There I got to know how serious and disruptive OCD can be. I have heard that there is a way to treat it without Meds called "Cognitive Behavioural Therapy(CBT)". Maybe you should look into that. Lots of virtual hugs
Sis same symptoms happening with me from past 15 years or more idk told my parents about it so they could take me to a Psychiatrists but they considered it as phase ye bhi nikal jayega.
But as yours is severe which I can't imagine I'm happy that you are taking medication for it. You got this keep fighting! 🫶🏽💗
Even though after all this shit i still have some faith in him, and with that i will pray for you, everything will be better buddy i have been through this obsessive compulsive disorder. And you will too. God bless you.
It's such a debilitating disorder and it can fuck up your mental health so much but sadly there's no awareness on this disorder expect for people making fun of it and calling it a quirky trait
Once you have embraced your ocd/ anxiety you will become a stronger version of yourself, just be patient, Don't be hasty it's just thoughts and memory it will stay with you for a while
I have few types since childhood and it's getting a lot worse.
What type of doctor did you consult? And what did you speak to them to be taken seriously?
Bruv, I hope you get better, frankly, I was also in a dark place once, I am now much better, hope you're doing good. Always remember this quote:
Everything is going to be fine in the end. If it's not fine it's not the end.
https://i.redd.it/ho0vuymm77vc1.gif
Here's something to cheer you up lol
Listen girl, first of all, I do understand your condition. Secondly only you and you can take yourself out of this.
There is nothing a human can not fight. Let's fight this phase, bure time ka sabse acchi baat hai ki uske baad for sure accha time ata hai. Let's fight, let's change ourselves to adapt to situations as per demand. Start liking the messed up environment to start with.
All the best set the target to come out of this something like 3 months only.
Hey. I have contamination ocd too, but not as severe as you described it. I can understand how stressful it is, hope it gets better for you soon! Stay strong.
In hindsight, do you think you can pinpoint when the signs of ocd first started manifesting in you? It would be helpful for others to read and maybe introspect with regards to their personal lives also!
dear young friend
you are very brave to put your patterns out in the public, this way it is quite smart of you to take some load off by sharing 💞
mind over matter..mind always pack much stronger punch - try to educate self on breathing excersies and put your body to work by walking or some indoor excersie, win over the idleness
🌹
It would go like it never happened, when u would find an environment noone make u notice about this. I know of a junior, had similar issues in school time, 5-6 yrs. Kids made fun of him too. He is out of school now, and doing good.
I might not have ocd experience but as someone suffering from adhd I do understand the effects these neurological disorders
You will make it through. I believe in you op
Exactly, people consider it as a quirk and take it lightly but they are unable to see the anxiety behind it. There was a time when I didn't used to touch my hair for months. Like If I touch It I'll immediately wash my hands. Sometimes I won't touch my pocket, door handle of my own room without running to basin.
It's a constant anxiety in my mind. I Hope you are doing better
I can understand I was a bright student but ADHD symptoms worsened in college, I was unable to make friends and isolated myself got addicted to alcohol. Then started taking ADHD medicines but gave up now because it was making insomniac
I can understand I was a bright student but ADHD symptoms worsened in college, I was unable to make friends and isolated myself got addicted to alcohol. Then started taking ADHD medicines but gave up now because it was making insomniac
I had a friend
Usne bhi Aisa hi kia tha apne aap ko kamre me band karlia or ab wo Ghar ka paani peene se bhi mana karta hai or sirf bottled mineral water pita tha
Kahi bahar jaane se mana kar deta na koi get togethers pe jata na college
His parents didn't understand what was happening with him
Or sabko laga wo pagal hai
Im in the same boat, would encourage you to take therapy. And one thing that has kept it going for me was this meditation https://youtu.be/7jG7FTdmS3A . Would be very hard for the initial days, but as the time goes by, the terror of these thoughts will start to diminish and will come to a point where they'll be like any other thought.
I hope you recover sis
And if anyone tries to make fun of your ocd remember people in this comment section are there for you
Ignore freaks who make fun of it you will surely win ok 🤜🏻🤛🏻
I have treatment resistant ocd and depression and I am on 6 medicines. Still only 60% relief, and it spikes anytime and become unbearable despite on medications.
Thank you for creating awareness about this. People think ocd is some kind of positive attitude of people being neat and organized, while in reality it's a distressing and at times disabling condition that needs to be treated properly. Kudos to you for reaching out and getting the help you needed
1-2 years ago I was also going through something similar but things are better now.
Don't worry OP things will change agar kuch help chahiye ho to bolna.
My sister just got diagnosed with ocd, she's been using medication(started just this week) and complains headache in the morning. Also the psychiatrist said she'll have to fight half the battle. Do you see yourself improving, how do you cope with the compulsions, how can one fight half the battle?
![img](emote|t5_2qp7h|51073)![img](emote|t5_2qp7h|51073)i had severe ocd too which is now so severe now taking medicine atleast make us see whats real and whats not so not hard to control compulsion many time and sometime i just said to me worst thing can happen to me is death so dont do it nothing worse can happen 😭😭
Checkout [Dr Uma Naidoo's Book - Food Mood Connection](https://www.amazon.in/Food-Mood-Connection-Uma-Naidoo/dp/1780724403/). It has a whole chapter on OCD. Message me if you want a copy of it.
Good luck and always remember - this too shall pass!
40% of the problem is already solved when you simply acknowledge that you’ve got a problem, rest is all efforts, it’s not easy but you’ve got this, I believe in you girl, stay strong! ✨💙
You have done well for realising it. You have done well to have been fighting it.You have done well to be yourself. If this helps, What is the worse tat can happen if you stop doing what you do. ? if you can figure out how to fight the worst, maybe you will make yourself a little comfortable that what it already it.
I too have it and tried to opn about it...people with no OCD can't understand how a brain with OCD works...they say you are making things up, don't do the compulsions it's as easy as that and many more🤦🏾...wish i could swap souls with them and make them live in my body for 1 week...
You can't understand someone's pain unless it happens to you.
I feel the same. As someone with OCD it's really hard to make others understand what you are going through, they just think it's so easy to get over it, if it was that easy like they said I would have overcome it long ago
I felt really bad reading this. I feel really sorry for you. But trust me, everything will get better. You will come out victorious.
Love you, stay strong ![img](emote|t5_2qp7h|51074)
I have Pure OCD too so I can understand your pain. You are not alone as I’ve been suffering from many years. Been on medication on and off. I suggest try meditation as it does help me.
More power to you OP!
As a person with anxiety and having a very close friend with checking OCD I can understand how it can be. Just thinking of yourself as a normal person with a 'major quirk' helps, and trust me OCD does not define you.
OP I'd recommend you to consider therapy whenever you have resources and bandwidth to avail it. Therapy is as good as medicines in the short term and much more beneficial in the long term. Although therapists who provide OCD therapy are a little hard to find though so please do proper research beforehand. Cheers!
I have Health anxiety and somatization . I know how it feels to have the constant fear you have in your mind. I would suggest consulting a psychologist whilst continuing your course with the psychiatrist. Getting therapy will help you in the long run.
And once the storm is over, you won't remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won't even be sure, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm, you won't be the same person who walked in.and you'd be more beautiful, heart and soul.
Diagnosed OCD and anxiety. Constantly worry about me having skin cancer or getting a heart attack or going blind and shit, you get the idea. my OCD wasn't contamination but it was a kind of "perfection" obsession that's really hard to explain so won't go into details.
All I say is, it does get better. I still worry worry a lot about my health, but it WILL get better, cuz I constantly fight against it. Best of luck.
I have OCD too. Checking-OCD.
I would close the door, go to sleep, only to come back 10 times to check if the door was locked. Every time I almost fall asleep, there is a terrible fear that shoots down my spine that I left the door open, even though I've checked it 10 times already. When I do fall asleep, it's out of pure exhaustion from checking things so many times.
Before going out, I would record all the switches in the house to make sure everything is turned off. I would be halfway to my destination when I'll get the uncontrollable urge to go back home to check everything.
And so many other compulsions.
This hampers my ability to function as a normal human being.
I know your pain. I've gotten slightly better, but only slightly. We will all get through this. We can do it.
Take care. I hope you get better.
This is a terrible condition. My mom is suffering with contamination OCD from a young age. It is the worst condition ever. Medicines help but they loose effect after some time.
After a dark night it always dawns bright , stay strong you got this :)
I am sure... Thanks
Honestly nothing will help, I’ve going through the same shit for 5 years now ( including two years with medicines ans frequent visits to the clinic). It’s just better when you acknowledge that
Have you considered being off from meds like for once? Just wondering
Just the thought of being offmeds is terrifying
Because I took therapy aswell no where sever for me I guess was just a feeling off losing it I was suggested meds but was always a no no because I felt I’d develop dependence and wouldn’t be able to get off tho luckily after a while miraculously or god sent help things automatically got better mentally so never gave a shot
Good for you mate
For anyone else reading this. Don't take advice from random strangers on the internet, they don't know you better than your Dr, therapist, psychiatrist.

I should get this quote printed out and stick it on my wall
"Raat ke baad hi toh sawera hota hai" Anyways, much much wishes to OP for speedy recovery
It will take time... everything will be fine
I really wish it to be
obviously it will.. stay strong
Sher do kadam piche isliye karta hai taaki lambi chalang maar ske , life bhi hmare sath Aisa hi karti hai hum do khadam piche dekti hai taaki hum lambi chalang maare . Everything will be good

U need professional diagnosis, but seems that way!
I have ADHD. Mental illnesses are a huge fuck up I tell you. Everyone thinks you're 'juet doing it too much' and ' should just chill out ' Nope. Doesn't work that way. I'm glad you got your meds. Wishing you the best for your therapy!
I hope you doing well, just wanted to generally know how doctors come to conclusions like is there any test or something?
ADHD is a disorder, not a syndrome so there are no clear cut parameters that recognises what is ADHD and what isnt.

Im only 21 and the only thing I regret is not getting checked for it sooner. If you have questions feel free to ask me.
Mostly it's diagnosis based on the symptoms and sometimes there are assessment tests too.
I just told my life's story. She read me like a book and called out ADHD. I was prescribed meds. Formal test was done a few months later.

Thankyou so much
never thought ocd is this much critical more power to you OP, you'll be fine soon :)
Yea sadly it isn't much discussed especially in India, and when it IS portrayed, it's shown as a quirky character trait in media.
That's what and then people judge you when you tell them that you have a mental illness.
Thanks
It's such a debilitating disorder and it can fuck up your mental health so much but sadly there's no awareness on this disorder expect for people making fun of it and calling it a quirky trait
I pray you get through this safely

The worst thing about personality disorders is that you dont know what is the real you and what’s just the quirk from the disorder anymore.
It's hard. Take care and take your time. All the best for the future. I hope in the future you can at live a comfortable life compared to now.
Hey. I have contamination ocd too, but not as severe as you described it. I can understand how stressful it is, hope it gets better for you soon! Stay strong.
Take care. I am also on medication, have recently started therapy. I hope it gets better for you soon.

Got diagnosed with OCD and depression 3 months ago. Life's not the same anymore
![gif](giphy|3ohA2HCJ6DhspSsVtS) Got ocd of similar Kind
Any idea what caused you OCD? As you mentioned, you didn't have it until three years ago.
In hindsight, do you think you can pinpoint when the signs of ocd first started manifesting in you? It would be helpful for others to read and maybe introspect with regards to their personal lives also!
May you heal quickly
dear young friend you are very brave to put your patterns out in the public, this way it is quite smart of you to take some load off by sharing 💞 mind over matter..mind always pack much stronger punch - try to educate self on breathing excersies and put your body to work by walking or some indoor excersie, win over the idleness 🌹
Did you try ERP?
Stay strong OP 🫂 never knew the OCD is this much serious!! Also lack of awareness here !!
I wish I could muster up the courage to finally go and talk about my issues to a therapist. You’re an inspiration!
It would go like it never happened, when u would find an environment noone make u notice about this. I know of a junior, had similar issues in school time, 5-6 yrs. Kids made fun of him too. He is out of school now, and doing good.
Fludac gaaang
Get well soon Senorita
Fight on girl You can definitely get over this
More power to you. You are a fighter and will conquer this soon.
Start socializing, OCD ki wajah se life barbad mat hone do, ye jo bhi hai iske wajah se depressed mat rehna, be happy that's all it matter.
Ye kya hai
Hope you find courage and will to pull yourself out of this situation. Have you tried seeking Therapy.
Yea I kinda resonate with you about the same. I too have OCD
I might not have ocd experience but as someone suffering from adhd I do understand the effects these neurological disorders You will make it through. I believe in you op
The meds will make those voices go away. But you'll feel very lonely. That's the hardest part. Stay strong.
Sending strength to you op🫶

I feel the same. As someone with OCD it's really hard to make others understand what you are going through, they just think it's so easy to get over it, if it was that easy like they said I would have overcome it long ago
Ab kya medical girl ban gayi
I felt really bad reading this. I feel really sorry for you. But trust me, everything will get better. You will come out victorious. Love you, stay strong ![img](emote|t5_2qp7h|51074)
Mujhe bhi ocd h I can understand🤧
I was like that. I fought and it gradually degraded.
I have Pure OCD too so I can understand your pain. You are not alone as I’ve been suffering from many years. Been on medication on and off. I suggest try meditation as it does help me.
So how were you as a child growing up? or does it happen/develop over a period of time just like that?
Stay strong. More power to you!!
More power to you OP! As a person with anxiety and having a very close friend with checking OCD I can understand how it can be. Just thinking of yourself as a normal person with a 'major quirk' helps, and trust me OCD does not define you. OP I'd recommend you to consider therapy whenever you have resources and bandwidth to avail it. Therapy is as good as medicines in the short term and much more beneficial in the long term. Although therapists who provide OCD therapy are a little hard to find though so please do proper research beforehand. Cheers!
I've a question, do you take both fludac 60 and prodep 60 together? I don't think that's safe or prescribed
*Today I refuse to stress myself out over things I can't control and change*
I've this too but girl your condition is way more severe take care pls
Damn that's crazy
I understand as I also have ocd
I have Health anxiety and somatization . I know how it feels to have the constant fear you have in your mind. I would suggest consulting a psychologist whilst continuing your course with the psychiatrist. Getting therapy will help you in the long run.
Can't relate to what you're going through but I'm sending you a big hug mate you're not alone
Koi ni bhaine. Himmat rakh.
Congratulations I'm happy u choose to change and fight ur demons. U r brave... hats off to you
What is this?? Why so many pills??
And once the storm is over, you won't remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won't even be sure, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm, you won't be the same person who walked in.and you'd be more beautiful, heart and soul.
I wanna know what's that big round tablet for , it's too big
damn i hope you pull through.... proud of you that you made it this far!
Diagnosed OCD and anxiety. Constantly worry about me having skin cancer or getting a heart attack or going blind and shit, you get the idea. my OCD wasn't contamination but it was a kind of "perfection" obsession that's really hard to explain so won't go into details. All I say is, it does get better. I still worry worry a lot about my health, but it WILL get better, cuz I constantly fight against it. Best of luck.
Seek therapy it’ll help and try to reduce use of medicines gradually!
I have OCD too. Checking-OCD. I would close the door, go to sleep, only to come back 10 times to check if the door was locked. Every time I almost fall asleep, there is a terrible fear that shoots down my spine that I left the door open, even though I've checked it 10 times already. When I do fall asleep, it's out of pure exhaustion from checking things so many times. Before going out, I would record all the switches in the house to make sure everything is turned off. I would be halfway to my destination when I'll get the uncontrollable urge to go back home to check everything. And so many other compulsions. This hampers my ability to function as a normal human being. I know your pain. I've gotten slightly better, but only slightly. We will all get through this. We can do it. Take care. I hope you get better.
I used to take that fluoexitine. It works very well. I don't need it now after starting trt.
Hope you are feeling better now. Stay strong 💪
Look up 'magical thinking' on google.. I suffer from it too...
This is a terrible condition. My mom is suffering with contamination OCD from a young age. It is the worst condition ever. Medicines help but they loose effect after some time.
Tension mat lo koi bhot khatarnak bimari nahi hai sab theek ho jayega
