Time for recover depends. It’s different for everyone. It depends on how dedicated you are to ERP. Recovery is nice but sometimes you slip up and that’s okay. And yes you will still get thoughts. Everyone has thoughts. Recovering from OCD doesn’t mean you won’t have thoughts. Recovering means you handle the thoughts better and don’t engage in compulsions when you have them. You will always have intrusive thoughts.
@stop. Do they pop up less often
@OcdNutball Yes. I will say that they occur less often because you’re not as hyper focused on the obsession anymore.
