โI am not going to tell you it will be fine. It might not be fine for a while. But you can start with one small thing. For me, it was taking a photo of the hob. It did not fix anything, but it gave me a way to leave the house. Find your photo. And please, tell someone. I know it feels like a lot, but it is less when you say it out loud.โ
โHi, you. I was where you are a year and a half ago. Intrusive thoughts that horrify me, every single day. Last month I had people round for dinner. The bad days get further apart. You're not on your own.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
โA note for the next person. I was where you are a year and a half ago. Intrusive thoughts that horrify me, every single day. Today I went for a walk and didn't cry once.โ
