โI've been there. For me it was in 2023. Hand washing till my skin cracks, every single day. I can talk about it now without falling apart. It comes back slowly, like feeling in your fingers after the cold.โ
โFor whoever is where I was: Not that long ago, about a year, that was me. The worst part was hand washing till my skin cracks. I went on holiday in the summer and actually relaxed. It's slow, but it does come back.โ
โIf you're just starting with OCD, I won't lie, it's crap. The thoughts feel real. They're not. ERP is hard and it works, slowly. Meds can help, but finding the right one is a pain. Don't let anyone tell you it's just stress. Get a therapist who knows OCD. And find one person who believes you. That's what got me through.โ
โI was in the same place in 2022. I remember pure O and nobody understanding like it was yesterday. I got a new job this spring.โ
