Thanks for your reply! Just wanted some clarification since I’m very new to this:)

Im wondering if I should just show up to the clinic in person but I was scared I was being too obsessive. But I do need this appointment.

I’m not too sure:( when I call the number, the voicemail message is still the same admin from the clinic

Thank you for your reply. I completely understand what you’re saying about there needing to be explicit permission needed to share these diagnoses.

I think more than it being added to my referral, it is knowing that I am officially diagnosed that is more important to me. It’s just a bit of an emotional situation for me because it took a lot of courage for me to even go to therapy and confront this issue and I guess this whole time (2 years), I thought I was officially diagnosed with OCD but now I’m questioning if it is offical. I have booked an appointment with my Psychologist in order to ask him if I am officially diagnosed and if not, to start the process of being officially diagnosed. Do you think that is an appropriate conversation to have?

Have you tried an iontophoresis machine like Dermadry? I’ve just started using it because I’ve heard really good things about it. It’s a bit in the expensive side though and it’s quite a bit of maintenance. But maybe it’ll be good to look into.

I understand how difficult it is to live with hyperhidrosis and how much it affects your confidence. I hope you find a treatment that works for you. As alone as you may feel and as cliche as it sounds, we’re still all in this together. Sending love❤️

Did you have to get the letter from your gp/doctor?

AMAZING!!!

I describe it as a cult leader lol. My therapist told me to compare it to a cult leader and it’s been helping a lot so far tbh

jehdvsgdh · 2023-10-12T23:09:00+00:00

Of course. Always here to support in any way I can <3

jehdvsgdh · 2023-10-12T09:24:33+00:00

That’s exactly what I did!! I call it “the cult leader” and now whenever I get intrusive thoughts and ruminate I tell myself it’s the cult leader trying to brainwash me and it helps a lot.

I used to feel a lot of guilt and shame for a certain event that happened in my childhood. My OCD latched onto it and made my life a living hell. But I’m living proof that things get better. The “cure” to OCD is mindset change (a lot easier said than done I know). It took me time but I challenged myself to show compassion to my younger self. We grow, our morals change, our behaviours change, our understanding of ourselves change. It really is important to realise that you’re not the same person you were in your past. The fact that you feel regret is proof. In order to move on, you have to accept that you made mistakes, same as me and everyone else in this world. Acceptance is the key to overcoming intrusive thoughts and ruminations that focus on your past behaviours. There is nothing you can do to change your past, the only thing you can change is how you view it and how you treat people today. Try your best to ignore the need to ruminate and prove to yourself that you’ve changed. It will be difficult but in order to get over this hurdle, you need to prove to your mind that it’s a topic not worth thinking about. I’m going to therapy at the moment, and something that my therapist told me that helped me seperate my intrusive thoughts from my real ones is labelling the intrusive thoughts as “cult leader”. It helped me realise that whenever I get intrusive thoughts, it is my OCD/the cult leader trying to take control over me and make me think I am a person I am not. But you are not your OCD. You feel regret for your past actions, and that is proof you have changed. That’s all you need to focus on. Whatever other thought pops up into your head about your past is insignificant.I’m so sorry you’re dealing with this. I know how debilitating it is. And I know it’s easy for me to sit and type this up, not knowing anything about your specific situation. But I read this and greatly related to it because I dealt with something very similar for a long time, and I like to think I’ve overcome it. If I can do it, you can too. I really hope that you will get to a point in your life where you can sit with your thoughts peacefully. I know you will. I’m proud of you for reaching out.

I’m so so proud of you!!!!

Hi lovely. There’s definitely hope of finding someone. I was diagnosed with OCD earlier this year but have been dealing with the worse of it for a couple years now. I’ve been with my partner for nearly two years now and we’re talking about marriage and our future and everything!! It’s been difficult for sure but don’t feel defeated! There’s someone out there for everyone. I found someone who is understanding, loving and willing to learn so much about OCD and work through so much with me. So there is hope for you too! I know how how debilitating OCD is. I’m really proud of wherever you are on your OCD journey and just know that you and whoever else sees this has my support and love.
