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
โI'm not going to tell you everything happens for a reason, it doesn't and but you can get through it so I did, and I'm not especially strong and ask for a double appointment if you can, it changed things for me.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
