OCD can take up so much of your time and energy, often in ways that other people never see. From spending hours analyzing intrusive thoughts to constantly seeking reassurance or trying to prevent something terrible from happening, we know how exhausting it can be to feel like you can never be certain enough.

In this post, we wanted to recognize all the people living with OCD, including those whose struggles aren’t always visible. We see you, we hear you, and we want you to know that things can get better. NICOLE AMBER SPILLER laid out some of her own OCD thoughts and compulsions to show that you really are a lot less alone than you might think.

If OCD is taking over your life, we want you to know that you don’t have to keep living under its grasp. OCD is highly treatable with the right therapy. Book a free call with our team using the link in our bio to learn more about specialized OCD treatment and get started today.

OCD bingo, but make it OCD Awareness Week themed 🤝

This week, we’re switching things up with one bingo board featuring a variety of OCD themes, intrusive thoughts, compulsions, and experiences. We know one board could never capture everyone’s experience with OCD, but we wanted to highlight just how many different ways this condition can show up. We’ll continue making theme-specific boards too, so let us know which ones you’d like to see next in the comments!

We also want to remind you that if your OCD feels loud right now, we hear you. We know how consuming this condition can be and how much it can affect your everyday life. But no matter how much OCD has taken over, please know that things can get better. OCD is highly treatable with the right therapy, and you deserve to experience that relief. 🩵

RAINN WILSON and Howie Mandel have both been open about living with OCD. Bringing them together on our Get to Know OCD podcast gave us the chance to hear two people speak candidly about what the same disorder has looked and felt like in their own lives.

One of the things that comes through in this conversation is just how much mental space OCD can take up. Howie and Rainn agree that the rest of your life doesn’t stop while you’re dealing with intrusive thoughts and compulsions. You still have work, relationships, responsibilities, plans, and all the other things that come with being human, while OCD can be demanding your attention at the same time.

We especially like this clip because Howie and Rainn’s thoughts and experiences aren’t identical. You might relate more to what Rainn describes, what Howie describes, or parts of both. OCD can show up differently from person to person, and hearing people talk openly about those differences can help more people recognize their own experiences and feel less alone in them.

Rainn has also shared that he went through ERP therapy and was able to get his OCD under control, showing that even when OCD feels all-consuming, getting better is possible.

If intrusive thoughts and compulsions are interfering with the life you want to live, specialized treatment can help. Book a free call with our team using the link in our bio to learn more and get started today.

It’s fridayyyyy so we’re back with some long deserved OCD threads🫶

Imagine waking up one day and suddenly experiencing severe OCD symptoms, anxiety, or behavioral changes that seemingly came out of nowhere. For people with PANS and PANDAS, this can be a reality.

Today is PANS Awareness Day, an opportunity to raise awareness of two often misunderstood conditions that can cause a sudden onset of psychiatric symptoms, particularly in children. Unfortunately, many families spend years searching for answers, often seeing multiple doctors before receiving an accurate diagnosis. But with greater awareness, earlier recognition, and access to appropriate treatment, we can help change that.

PANS and PANDAS are treatable, and specialized OCD therapy can play an important role in managing symptoms. Swipe through to learn more about these conditions, what signs to look for, and why raising awareness is so important.

If you’ve ever wondered about the WHY behind your intrusive thoughts and compulsions, RAINN WILSON (who you might know as Dwight Schrute from The Office) shared something on our Get to Know OCD podcast that might help make it click.

Sometimes, breaking things down on a scientific level can help make sense of why our OCD brains react the way they do. Rainn shared that learning more about what was happening in his brain helped him better understand his own OCD and how to respond to it. Rainn also did specialized therapy for OCD (ERP), which helped him get better and change the way he responded to his intrusive thoughts.

In this clip, he talks about some of the science behind why OCD fears can feel so real and uses a smoke alarm analogy to explain the intense sense of danger and urgency that can come with an intrusive thought. We think the way he breaks it down makes an experience that can be really difficult to explain a little easier to understand and digest.

If OCD and intrusive thoughts are taking up your life, specialized treatment can help you get better, too. Book a free call with our team using the link in our bio to learn more and/or get started today.

Something a lot of people with OCD experience is looking back at their childhood and recognizing signs of OCD that they didn’t have a name for at the time.

Our creator, PLEASE EXCUSE MY OCD, experienced this too, but in a particularly heartbreaking way.

When Tyler was just 10 years old, his family home caught on fire. The night before, he’d gotten frustrated with his mom for making him go to bed before finishing a football game and said, “I hate this house.”

When his home burned down the next day, Tyler’s undiagnosed OCD convinced him that his words had somehow caused the fire. He began believing that his thoughts and words could make terrible things happen, and eventually became afraid of having those thoughts at all.

This is an example of magical thinking OCD, which can make someone feel that their thoughts, words, or actions have the power to influence events, even when there’s no connection between them.

Today, Tyler is 32 and understands what he was experiencing as a child. While what happened was incredibly traumatic, he’s since found evidence-based treatment that’s helped him manage his OCD and live a fulfilling life.

We’re grateful to Tyler for sharing his story, and we hope it reminds others that even after frightening experiences and years of struggling with OCD, things can get better.

When Tyler watched his home go up in flames, he was already experiencing intrusive thoughts, contamination fears, and intense anxiety. At the time, he didn’t know these experiences were connected to OCD, or how much they would affect the way he processed what happened next.

The night before the fire, Tyler was frustrated because his mom had asked him to go to bed before he finished watching a football game. Like many 10-year-olds might, he said some things out of frustration, including that he hated his room, his bed, and his house. He had no idea how much those words would come to haunt him.

The following day, a gas leak in his mother’s car caused a fire that spread through their home. It was an incredibly f

If you follow our page, you’re probably familiar with one of our creators: Molly. Molly is an OCD advocate who openly shares her experiences with intrusive thoughts and OCD. But getting to a place where she could talk about them so openly took time.

Molly has experienced different OCD themes throughout her life, with POCD being a major part of her journey. For years, she didn’t understand why she was having these thoughts or what they meant. Now, she’s able to recognize OCD for what it is and use her story to help other people feel less alone.

There’s a reason we share stories like Molly’s. When you’re in the thick of OCD, especially when your intrusive thoughts feel too taboo or scary to say out loud, it can be hard to imagine someone else has been where you are. Seeing someone who has experienced those same fears, gotten help, and reached a better place can offer a lot of hope.

Molly is living proof that OCD symptoms can improve and that you can get better. And if you’re struggling right now, specialized treatment can help you get there, too. Book a free call with our team using the link in our bio to learn more and get started today.
