Hello I I'm Salma 20 from Jordan, I have ocd since I was a child and I didn't get support because none noticed it.. Now it's getting worst and It is getting out of my hands.. I just left college and job even so I have been told that I'm special in my job but I couldn't I'm suffering everyday and I can't sleep for days please help me with any advice I have already lost one year of my life siting at home and going outside very rare.. My OCD is mainly about bugs if I see them my day destroyed and unfortunately I see them every hour especially if I see them in my clothes I can change my clothes for 7 times everyday and still can't feel comfortable.. Just three months ago I had a dream about a bug and it lies thier eggs there until I couldn't hear anything then I woke up and this dream is in my mind in every second even when I sleep I sleep under the blanket so bugs can't get inside my ears or nose please help with any advice I can't control the whole thing any more

Hello Salma, I am sorry for the pain you are going through. What you are going through are intrusive thoughts that are known to be a feature of OCD. Dear, are you seeing a mental health expert? If not please do; things will definitely get better. I went through a period of severe intrusive thoughts and decided to see a psychiatrist who started me on medication and I feel much better since. Please don't feel bad about spending time at home, away from job. YOUR HEALTH COMES FIRST. You will start to feel better. In the meantime please do things that you enjoy. Don't worry about life. YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
