Have you tried medication?

Hi! Im 25f. I have been diagnosed with OCD since i was 16. Started having ocd related symptoms as early as 5. It was also somewhat manageable, but as i get older my ocd “episodes” have gotten worse. My ocd switched to more pureo and more harm/ moral related which is a hell that i hadn’t experienced before the age of 19. This episode i am trying medication, at the end of the day ERP does work but only when im doing it constantly and i had to take time off work. Hoping for some success stories, i have always gone a more natural route but feel like im working against myself at this point especially when it is genetic. My brother and mom both have OCD too! I also am terrified of meds bc of OCD 🥹!
