Psilocybin used in a therapeutic and respectful way can help a lot. Days after taking a moderate dose I was able to detach myself from my disorder and finally felt alive again.

I’m trying to find something that works I currently taking Zoloft that is not helping at all. I’m not as much on being a germ phobic I’m more on repetitive behavior that’s affecting my life a great deal. I go by times and schedule everyday nothing changes or when it does it gives me so much stress all week.

Not an expert, of course, but to add...
*CBD* has been found to be helpful in reducing symptoms of OCD by 60%+. While having minimal side effects compared to the traditional chemical drugs (SRIs). I mean cannabis-based things aren't widely approved - yet, but there is no harm in it. With more and more studies going on for treatment. Ty for raising OCD awareness.

There’s NO treatment for me because my ocd centers around pornography and my fear of being with a man who watches it. I refuse to do exposure therapy so I can learn to accept trash.
