Before the coaching with Michele I had some ideas what I needed to do for recovery, because of the research I did. But when I got to speak to Michele the approach of recovery got really significantly simplified. I was way to concerned before and thought about so many different things, while with Michelle’s help it got easier to live my normal life again and get back on the right path. Therefor I am really grateful to have found Ali Greymond and through her Michele because I don’t know where I would be now otherwise. I can only encourage everybody who needs to read this to try the coaching because it really helps!

I keep telling people again and again the way my brain is trained at the moment it's not allowing me to do erp. Notice I'm not saying i can't do it I'm saying the way the brain is trained. Why this is I don't know. Please please shed some light I've been suffering for 27 years and I've tried to help myself and tried many treatments

I feel like a creep. I have Pocd and I was on a game called Ponytown. I'm on the 18+ server but sometimes minors are on it and I noticed someone's pony crying and comforted them but idk if they were a minor or not. I didn't discuss anything inaproprite or sexual but idk how old they were could I go to jail?

Guys I haven’t had anxiety from any of my thoughts in months and I’m genuinely not even afraid anymore but the compulsions, false attraction, and thoughts are still there. It just feels like having ocd and anxiety was a phase and this is really me and I can’t accept it

I have a question. Is it normal for ocd to make you feel numb to certain people? I started having intrusive thoughts regarding a certain person who I love very much and now it's like my mind wants to convince me that I don't love them. I understand OCD can cause feelings that aren't real but it really does seem so true.😭

is not working good and disregard and don't worry about this person's feelings because the one who truly love unconditionally will never leave you for any reason beside that it's all a fog believe me and what appear doesn't actually appear for that other person at all

So it just spent the last two hours crying cause I was reading “recovery” stories and basically everyone who has recovered said that they still have a thoughts on a daily basis and that recovery was the hardest thing to do and I was like wtf what’s the point of living if you have to put everything you have into recovery and get basically nothing out of it

Why after all this time and suffering would I actually want to be with a girl? They’ve ruined my life? And why does it feel like I would be bored with boys? I’ve never even thought abt that and I’ve always enjoyed my fantasies? And why does it feel like if I wasn’t questioning now I would have later in life?? I never thought that??

Hey everyone. I have just *almost* fully recovered from sexuality OCD. But now im feeling another topic coming on around drugs? I cant find anything about it and i know ts going to get wrose. Please help
I have been suffering from Harm OCD since a decade. I had this feeling like something was wrong with me and I started avoiding objects like pillows,knives etc. Last year when covid started it became worst since I was locked inside house and there were no meeting with friends , I used to hardly sleep then I came across ali videos in YouTube I started watching her videos also joined the chat group I tried to follow most of the things ali told me but somehow I felt I needed more guidance about ERP that’s when I joined text support with Michele. She gave me proper knowledge about OCD and how it works ,she was always available whenever I texted her or when I felt stuck.She motivated me when I had bad days. It’s been 3 months now and i have seen lot of improvement in me ,i sleep well and i feel much happier now and more focused now. I am thankful for that. I will recommend Michele to anyone that needs guidance for their OCD.
