Any improvement stories out there? Not looking for reassurance for any subtype, just curious if anyone other than their promo stuff people can attest to getting better. Would love to hear your experience

yes. i started out with crippling ocd in august of 2020. it got so bad and extreme that i attempted suicide in nov of 2020. after that i realized that in order to not hurt the people that i loved i NEEDED to get better. yes, i did have a nocd therapist as a resource, and while they were nice to have around, a lot of the advice i received came from people in this community, and some youtube channels. i have been practicing mindfulness and ERP for over a year now, and ocd does not debilitate me the way it used to: in fact i can say that it’s almost “gone”. it took a long time to get to the place i am, and it was a slippery uphill battle that had both some setbacks and some wins, but i could not have done it without mindfulness and ERP. remember, in order to recover, you musnt compare your recoveries to other people and you cant get destitute if its not always going your way.
