Just a thought…

I’m starting to believe that OCD is indirectly telling us: “hey you need to face your fears if you want to move on with your life or else you’ll stay the same”. It’s weird to think and I can’t really explain it but OCD has arrived to my life to rearrange those maladaptive habits of mine. Maybe OCD is not a monster after all but just a wake up call. Perhaps OCD was meant to be so we can finally face those fears and evolve to become a better version of ourselves.

@Itwillgetbetter I just feel like we need to dig a little deeper to understand what caused our OCD symptoms. I believe that once we understand that then I’ll be easier to tackle it. In my case I truly believe my fear of abandonment is what caused my symptoms.
