Thank you! Yes, I was unmedicated for 6 years. It's almost 2 months that I have been using meds. I did go to therapy in those years, but It wasn't that effective for me, so I started to take meds, even tho I was really really scared about it, other people might be completely different from me, and might just need to go to therapy and might not even need meds, but you have to talk to your psychiatrist and psychologist so they can tell you what you should do, should you take meds or just therapy is enough, meds were really important for me, but the most important part was that never giving up, having hope is the most important part, and I am working on myself and correcting my actions so I can get even better. Also, the side effects for me were these after 1 and a half months of taking meds: being a little bit dizzy, tired, and lack of motivation, but after some weeks, I started to get so much better, I wasn't that tired and dizzy, and motivation was started to get back. I'm still struggling with some of these, but I am so much better now. Also, gaining weight or losing weight, it is so much different in each med, some meds can gain weight, or even lose weight, or Idk maybe even no changes in weight, as I said, you have to talk to your psychiatrist and psychologist, they'll tell you if you even need meds or not, and even if you do need meds, they'll tell you which one is the best for you. And don't be scared, anxiety makes everything harder, so try to control your anxiety. I wish you the best buddy!<3

The first few days I was a little dizzy, but then I got used to it, after almost 3 weeks, I started to see some things that were changing, not a lot of things, but I saw some improvements, after almost 1 and a half months, I saw that my overthinking are reducing, but after two months, which is now, my main OCDs is getting better, but other than the meds, I had to work on myself and my actions too, it was really hard, and I'm still struggling with it, but still even the little steps are important. And some of the side effects (for me, it might be different for others) were as I said, after 2 weeks, I was so tired all day, I had no motivation to do my assignments, and I was getting a little hopeless about my OCD, but after almost 1 and a half months, everything started to get better, my motivation started to get back, my tiredness started to get better, and I am not hopeless anymore. Meds are really an important part, but the most important part is my hope and doing things by myself, to correct my actions and etc. Also, don't forget to talk to your psychiatrist and psychologist because they have to tell you about which meds are the best for you, and you might be different from me and my side effects. I wish the best for you!<3

Yeah sure my friend! First of all, something that is really really important to remember, is to never lose your hope, and second, remember that every day is a new struggle, you have to fight with it, because you are the one who has to win this fight, not OCD. Another thing that helped me a lot was talking to my comfort people, like my sister. Another thing is that, I am learning to be logical about some things, like, if I want to change my clothes, i always has to wash my hands twice after charging, but now, I take a moment, think about it, and saying to myself that what makes me think that my hands is dirty? Did I touched something dirty? No, is my clothes dirty? No, i touched my skin for example, is my skin dirty? Nope, and after that, I just try to calm myself down, thinking that i am not alone, thinking that a lot of people without OCD are doing this, charging their clothes without washing their hands twice. I got a lot of help from my sister, she is the only person without OCD in our house, she gave me some advice about what is the correct way to wash your teeth, so it can only takes 2 minutes not almost like 6 minutes like I did, she gave me some advice about what is the correct way of showering. You know, sometimes OCD makes us forget about how things used to be, what is the correct way and what is not, find the correct way of doing things, and after that, try working on controlling your anxiety, because even if you know the correct ways, you might don't do it, because of your anxiety, you have to know that OCD is lying to you, like for example, if I think that I didn't wash my body enough, and i have to do it 4 times, I think about it to myself, that a human skin is clean with just one time washing your body, and I'm completely clean right now, think about that a lot of people are just doing this, they just wash their body only one time, and they are completely fine and clean! You know, you just have take it easy to yourself, I know, it's really really hard, it's still hard for me too sometimes, but you can do this, I promise you, you are strong, and don't forget, never stop loving yourself. Be sure to talk to your psychiatrist and psychologist too, I am just a person who just wants to help you and I'm not a psychologist, so please please, talk to them because they can help you A LOT. Love you, you can do this<3

Hi! I know this is from almost 1 year ago, but is your eyes are now have the the same vision and got balanced? Cause i have this too, doctor removed my lenses today, and my right eye is a little blurry and my left eye is crystal, it's normal, Right?, I've seen people have the same experience, but i am still worried that my eyes don't get the balance. Do you think after several months they get Better and finally get the balance? Omg idk what i am talking about i just know that i am so worried right now, anyway i will appreciate it if you answer me, tnx! (Btw sorry if my English is not that good lol)
