I haven't but I also don't leave my house and never seen a (((psychiatrist)))) so basically impossible.
What was your experience?

its full of teenage girls who think they are "different". lifefuel if you still think you can ascend with them
I tried, lol
I had very bad OCD about 5 years ago.
It still bugs me even now but I've gotten much more of a handle on it. I never really saw anyone about it much or took anything for it. I just... got used to dealing with it. I'd rather keep away from pills.
To be honest the main reason I wanted to get sent somewhere wasn't for treatment of any kind, it was just to be around other people. Isolation was what caused my OCD and is what keeps it going, because I'm still fairly isolated >.<

If I do a PhD i'll end up there
many times
lost years because of that

good to see another ocdcel. i always look out for my ocd brocels. i was the same way. it was the worst pain imaginable a couple years ago, now its better. it never really goes away it just gets better.
no. in a section of 30 patients, there are only 1-3 women in a given day. sometimes no women at all, only men, mostly of the incel kind
how it got better?
my contamination ocd got better, almost gone, by exposure therapy. i went to a therapist for a while and it didn't really help so i read about how to do the therapy on my own. i found this one document on wizchan too about therapy that was really helpful.
also jewpills help but only if you are doing exposures. if you aren't it does fuckall.
i still have intrusive thoughts that aren't related to contamination that don't have compulsions. its pure o kind of shit. i don't know how to deal with them. you just have to cope
not yet, but probably in the future 
Not fun.
It's tough yeah. I've tried so many things to try to reduce it. Mostly they've been ways to try to convince myself it was ok to push past it. Just starting about 7 hours ago though I decided to try another approach again which is to pretend that someone else is around me and watching what I'm doing. When others are around I ocd way WAY less. Hardly at all. Because I really don't like looking weird, lol
And... yeah I overcame some OCD "triggers" that normally would have really given me a hard time. So I guess it's kind of working. I hope it continues to work
I guess maybe that's similar to exposure therapy? Is it trying to push through it so you overcome the fear?
A friend of mine actually got schizophrenia after less time than me isolated, so I guess I'm lucky in a way that I didn't end up with anything worse.
OCD is like an ancient greek god's sadistic curse
There was a landwhale permanently stuck in there, a cute mentally ill girl I could of ascended with if I bothered trying, an ogrecel, a blackcel I played uno and other card games with. It was neat
do you know how ocd works? it is basically a big feedback loop. you have this obsession which brings you anxiety, you do the compulsion to temporarily relieve it, and that reinforces your fear of the obsession. ocd gets really bad when you have been doing the compulsions for a long time because you have all that negative feedback built up. when you feel the need to do your compulsion, you have to not do it to teach yourself that you don't need to do that to relieve the anxiety. over time if you keep doing exposures and doing them right, your obsessions will give you less anxiety.It's tough yeah.

Surely though the real challenge is HOW you manage to not do it. If it was easy to not do it you wouldn't have OCD...
My post was about ways I am trying to not do the compulsion.
you have to realize that what you fear is irrational. if you don't come to that understanding and fully internalize it, you are always going to go back to doing the compulsions. the important part isn't the "ways you try not to do the compulsion" dude you just don't do them wtf. like when you lose weight you just put down the fork. you literally don't have to do anything. read about rebt. get on jewpills. find some way to internalize that you are just a mentally ill incel. once you realize that your fear is irrational, and i mean like accept it not just think it because someone told you it, the exposures become easy. because thoughts influence feelings which influence behavior. by changing what you think you change everything

Doc got me hooked on a high dose of antidepressants. They made me jittery and restless, then hypomanic. I thank the Lord that doc didn't recognize my hypomania and "diagNOSEd" me with bipolar disorder, which would have started me on a total drug spiral of uppers and downers. I withdrew 4 months later from the poison pills after realizing what was going on and have never looked back since.
The nurses are total unsympathetic cunts. That's all I can say about them.
All in all, a net negative experience. My recommendation to get out of a mental ward in one piece: treat it like jail. Don't engage with the other inmates too much, keep your head down, don't make a scene and be pleasant in your interactions with staff.
The menial ward I went to (because I was suicidal and hoped they could help) wasn't too bad, but it still eroded a massive amount of the trust I had into the medicopharmaceutical industrial complex.

Three times, I liked it there tbh
I was at one for a few months but it didn't get much better.
just stop doing it lmao what is holding you back my guy? you literally dont have to do anythingYou make it sound so easy
OK look erm:
1) If it was easy for the person to not give in to the compulsion, then they wouldn't have OCD.
2) I agree with you that the best solution is probably to not give in to the compulsion.
3) There are MULTIPLE ways to achieve that, including somehow convincing yourself that it's irrational.
4) In my experience it's VERY, VERY difficult - maybe impossible - to convince myself it's irrational to the extent that I don't do it anymore. That is why I am trying other approaches such as imagining others are there, distraction, etc.
k whatever keep on suffering. i am done with you
Fine, think whatever you want. I think you are unable to grasp incredibly simple and logical things. But whatever.
how ironic!
