Hello!

Hello everyone. I have OCD and looking for support. The community where I live doesn't have many resources for OCD sufferers. I was diagnosed when I was 19.... but sure my OCD started around 8 or 9 years. So, tell what do you do for meditation?

Meditation or medication? Haha i don’t really meditate but i just started fluvoxamine almost 3 months ago. Right now i’m at 200 mg per day. I feel its beginning to work for me. But of course i have days where i need to put in a lot of work to defy the ocd. I’ve had it for 16 years now and never took meds before, although i’ve had worse moments than what i was experiencing that lead me to take medication.

Meditation. It has helped me to keep a clearer mind.

I'm glad you can feel the meds are working.

Ahh okay sorry! I don’t meditate really because, oddly enough, the ocd makes me feel bad things will happen if i do 🙄 i have in the past. But i feel its truly one of the most effective ways of centering yourself and taking your mind to another place. Its a great practice

I understand. I haven't been able to check Facebook because I think something bad will happen to my loved ones.

It sucks 😞 especially since we know its irrational! Its just the fear is hard to overcome
