I had a lot of victories every now and then. My compulsions got so bad that it used to take about 10 hours of my day, after I started Erp I was able to achieve the time where if it takes me 1 hour, it's a lot... It's not a cure but I took my life back

I went from suicidal to normal... had a lot of guilt with the compulsion to confess and this is gone. I had sexual orientation OCD, I had health anxiety, I had intrusive thoughts, I had POCD... you name it. Basically all gone, Im currently battling with indecision from time to time and ROCD which I now know are possible to cure since I have already conquered so many OCDs

What's been the biggest surprise from ERP?
Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) isn't always easy, but as one of the most effective treatments for OCD, it's worth it. If you've started ERP, what has been the biggest surprise you've experienced in learning to resist compulsions? If you haven't started ERP yet, what is holding you back from starting?

Looking for positivity 😄
I’ve seen wayyyy too many negative posts on here (I totally get it)…but can someone please share some positive experiences? Doesn’t have to be so grand, it could be just that you achieved a small goal with your ocd! I don’t want to continue feeling drowned by this debilitating disorder. I want to see what has helped some of you! So we can all encourage each other! 😊

I’ve started ERP which has been reaaalllllly challenging and I would love to hear from anyone else that has gone through any type of contamination ocd and how they have overcome or are fighting their way through it. Thank you!l
