Physical withdrawal symptoms?
Did anyone experience physical withdrawal symptoms after not doing the compulsions? How long did they last for?

i've experienced things like my hands shaking when i don't give into a hand washing compulsion, for example, but it didn't last very long. so they definitely exist, but i haven't seen a lot of information out there about them.

Does anyone else..
Feel guilty for not giving into compulsions like rumination and confessing? I feel guilt for having an intrusive thought, trying to shrug it off or just giving it a few seconds of thought and moving along. This sounds like improvement but I still struggle with the anxiety and the guilt. The shame. I’ll be okay and then I’ll remember I have OCD and my stomach will drop and I just want to curl up and cry.

Those of you who have overcome at least a bit, if not all, of your OCD. When you went through the CBT and ERP, did it feel like the end of the world? And how did you face the fact that your fears and uncertainties might actually come to life?
