How to come Out from OCD

[Pratheek]

Hi if anyone completely cured from OCD called terrible diesease killing daily with obsession thoughts since from 25 yrs and I'm under medication but struggling lot to lead good life and other side taking care of family expenses due to this problem lost respect with siblings even own mum by taking all saved money, pain knows only who is really suffering from this disease we cannot make them understand how we are facing the problem day by day feel like more depression everyone wants my help but no one is bothered about me, had a coronavirus positive came out of that after that I myself helped others by testing coronavirus rapid kit and given a treatment which my doctor prescribed to me nearly 5 to 6 people by taking my own risk without taking pre caution but I'm happy that they are cured and safe but all these people now avoiding to talk it's a nature of human beings and selfish people, I don't trust religion , caste , language, colour, rich or poor we all are humanbeings created by God , but in this world our is nothing what ever u earn everything we have to leave and go how we are treating caring helping is very important

I am so sorry you're struggling Pratheek . It sounds like things have been so challenging with COVID, family, faith, and beyond. I also believe we are all human beings created by God, and I'm so glad you're here in this forum. I believe there is so so so much hope for those navigating OCD to lead full, joyful lives. I'm so glad you are on medication - have you tried any therapeutic treatments like ERP?
