If you are or a loved one is experiencing OCD, there is hope. Visit learn.nocd.com/YT to get started with Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy, the most effective therapy for OCD.
Sometimes the only thing that helps deal with a particularly horrible intrusive thought is hearing other OCD sufferers talk about it like this . Its like being hit by a giant wave and drowning for a while. And hearing this is like coming back to the surface and feeling okay. I can't afford therapy so this is all I have. It feels so alienating and causes me to feel like a monster, even makes me afraid of God and God's judgement. So I can watch videos like this and feel like I'm not alone. I really abhor to wonder how OCD sufferers dealt with this before the Internet. I don't even want to think about that...
100% it’s very disappointing and depressing not being able to find affordable mental health services. Private pay is extremely expensive and others don’t take a certain insurance. It’s disheartening for parents who are desperate to find help for their child and if it’s not one thing, it’s another. I’m grateful for the internet accessibility and for the IOCDF and all podcasts available, but in the end we need more affordable mental health services so that more people have an opportunity to live a healthier life full of possibilities. Also, thank you so much for sharing your experience and being so open about your struggles! Thank you NOCD for also providing us with podcasts and helpful articles.
