I just knew that I have OCD

I haven't told anyone yet... Back then I didn't know it was OCD. I just knew right now. And I don't know what to do. I don't know what to feel. These signs... I don't want to do it anymore but there is something that makes me do it or else something bad will happen. Like I need to touch that object with my left hand after I touched it with my right hand. I need to close the switch for three times. Its like I need to do these things over and over again until some part of me is contented.

Don't worry, that's all going to happen. You don't have to feel bad, it's normal. I also went through that and suffered because I did not want to do it but I want to tell you that all that happens and will make you a stronger person.

maybe you need to see a doctor. Im not one for medication but I take stuff for OCD to keep it in check. I hate OCD with a passion, but I have to deal with it. So let me ask you a question, what bad things will happen?

hello,scarlett_haze. I understand what you're going through,I've been in your position before so I understand how overwhelming and terrifying it must feel. I am very happy that you've decided to come on this platform to ask for help. My advice would be to try your best to see a therapist in order to find the most suitable form of therapy you could undergo. It won't be easy ,however, you owe it to yourself to try. OCD is very tricky as it the anxiety/fear that comes with the compulsions are extremely scary but it is not impossible for you to overcome this and get better. Hoping for the best,honey! You've got this!

I would like to welcome you to the OCD Support Network.

We are here to help and offer hope to each other.

We are in this together.

I am sorry that you are going through a rough time.

I wish you good health.

Try to resist doing the compulsions.

The anxiety will be high in the beginning, but it will get lower.

The thought will slowly fade away.

Relabel the thought as OCD.

Do not argue or interact with OCD.

I hope this helps.
