Dear mam,

Kindly accept my greetings. I’ve checked your profile and can’t imagine you’ve been struggling with OCD for so long. I can feel your pain and I salute your courage for standing tall for so many years & fighting your condition. I’ve nothing but admiration for your resilience to not give up against your illness. I’m not in a position to give you any advise to cope up with the intrusive thoughts but I can suggest you spend more time with your family. Also, kindly try meditation and yoga. Also, you can try to include clarified butter and turmeric milk also known as “turmeric latte” before bed time. It’ll help you calm your mind. Along with that please rely on your medication. Also, if I may ask mam, are you currently on SSRIs or benzos? Additionally, please check with your physician if he/she can recommend including alpha lipoic acid in the morning. I wish you a good health and speedy recovery.

Kind wishes!

ERP has the most evidence for its effectiveness in treating OCD. Just verify that the treatment provider is a licensed therapist who specializes in OCD and is appropriately trained in ERP. OCD is very treatable and with effective treatment you can get your life back from OCD and not be controlled by it.
