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
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
โI've been there. For me it was about three years ago. Back then it was pure O and nobody understanding. Some weeks I don't think about it at all. It doesn't stay this heavy. xโ
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
