Message of hope for those with rOCD* I experienced severe rOCD for the first 6 months if this year and it almost crippled my relationship with my partner. But through therapy through NOCD, alongside support from my family and partner and medication I have basically completely recovered and have been feeling so good for the last 4 months. I had a session with my psychiatrist this morning and be said that I had recovered so well that I could look at coming off medication very slot at the start of next year which I am really happy about because I am having some annoying aide effects. So, I want you to know this... No matter what your mind is telling you, if you have been diagnosed with rOCD, or if you think you might have it, you can get through it. At my worst, I completely lost track of reality for a period of time, I absolutely hated myself and truly believed that I would never feel better or love anyone ever again. But through persistence and hard work, I did the ERP and worked on myself and I have come through the otherside. Undoubtedly there will be set backs, but I plan to deal with those as I did with this period. I wasn't always kind to myself, but please be kind to yourself. OCD is so challenging, but if I can get through it, so can you 🙏❤️
