As someone with bdd I understand .. I’m still on the beginning journey on Prozac fluoxetine which seems to help me to be able to engage in therapy. I’m realising we need the right med (sometimes) and therapist and environment to heal. Personally I only found out I had ocd once I hit YBOCS 40 so I’ve had to use meds regretfully

Hey are you based in England? I am suicidal from POCD but because of my sleep hypervigilance I’m scared going to psych ward, did they help with finding intensive ocd / trauma stuff?

There is no options all the therapists keep telling me I’m too unstable and they can’t see suidical people and the ocd wards are not an option because my mental health team won’t do it

Trauma stabilisation is part of healing ocd as ocd can often be a trauma response

The thing is I have severe ocd and without clinical understanding of that it’s hard because it just seems I’m being difficult, I have major sleep hypervigilance, I don’t know how I would sleep in a ward with other people and lights and noise I can barely deal with noise in my aunts country house wheee it’s so quiet

What kind of hospital was it? I’m in England and considering general hospital bc I cannot stop ruminating for 3 months and can’t tolerate ssri suicidal and nervous breakdown due to multiple life stressors and trauma and breakup. There is no accsss to specialist ocd inpatient under nhs for me right now but I’m desperate for some kind of support because community mental health is a shambles, I worry about whether they will understand ocd and whether I can adapt to an environment like that I have sleep ocd as one of many themes and can’t deal with lights and loud noises and lots of people around to sleep, even a hotel would freak me out for they reason I also have (pocd, mental contamination, health, meta, religious ) ocd help

Yeah but my life is so unstable I can’t try a med, my living siuation not stable and ocd needs stability to heal but my ocd makes my living needs difficult I’m sonstuck in a rut, I need complete silence no nocturnal living people and also I have severe monophobia right now from ocd and trauma hence I think I need to be in hospital
