through my psychologist’s office i found an ocd support group in my city and it made sooooo much of a difference for me i think it really does help to just meet with others who have ocd regardless of if their ‘type’ of ocd is the same as yours it’s actually super interesting to hear abt the different symptoms people have from the same disorder but ofc it can be sad when u hear how others are suffering in the same way you have been that’s another great reason to try to go to things like a support group tho so u can be there for each other and offer some support and encouragement share ur accomplishments in treatment with each other no matter how small they are just being able to relate to others like that is such a relief sometimes  there’s also the international ocd foundation iocdf that holds a huge conference every year in the us the location changes yearly where top psychologists doctors therapists and ocd researchers come to share their findings speak on panels hold seminars etc but it’s for everyone especially just regular people who have ocd and would like to learn more and further their treatment i went a year ago it was held at a super nice hotel and was such a fun positive experience i would highly reccommend it to anyone who has a couple days to spare and can afford a small trip
