About 1.5 years ago I reached out to OCD Recovery for help. Prior to this, OCD had always been a big part of my life, starting at the age of 17. In all those years, different themes would be the source of my anxiety, shame and guilt. In the end it was mostly a combination of Harm and False Memory OCD . There would always be 2 or 3 very bad ‘episodes’ of severe suffering each year, each episode lasting around 2 weeks. Between those worst periods OCD was always present, but more on the background. (Mental) compulsions that would always be there, but I could live a pretty normal life. I went to several healthcare professionals in those years. Of course they always tried their best to help me, and eventually one of them set a very accurate diagnose and helped me to get insights in what OCD was, which was very helpful! But in the end, none of them could give the profound help I needed to recover. I first found out about OCD Recovery on YouTube. Rob talking about harm related False Memory OCD sounded so incredibly familiar to me, it reflected exactly how I felt. It took me some more time (and bad episodes) to take the step to reach out for help, and did not regret it for one second. I ended up having 1 on 1 sessions with Momin who – just like all the other coaches – experienced OCD first hand and holds so many knowledge. It has been extremely helpful to work with him. Besides this, attending webinars about several topics and being in the WhatsApp group, where a lot of wisdom for recovery is shared, helps a lot. For everyone with severe OCD: I really wish you find this group and convince yourself to sign up. I won’t say I’m recovered yet, but after 15 years of suffering, i’m finally making some serious progress
