Yes! For me I was scared of a pair of shoes my girlfriend bought me. I seen them as contaminated. I wanted to clean them off and put them on using gloves. But I just jumped up and said âIâm tired of being controlledâ in my head. I grabbed the shoes, fixed them, put them on. Then I went around doing some more stuff that I was afraid of. One being eating something. My adrenaline rush was so intense that I did this all without thinking.

We got a flat tire and I was able to handle helping use the reinflation kit, touching things, etc without gloves or hand washing.

I can now slightly sing in the shower. I used to think an angry spirit would pop up in the mirror and kill me in my sleep if I even made a peep or talked in the shower. I thought that was just my imagination until I got diagnosed. For ERP, the first time I hummed, it was extremely distressing and I literally sat down in the shower and curled into a ball. After a while of humming, the thoughts are still there but definitely not as bad as they were before.

A win for today!
I got up, I did TWO loads of laundry, and unloaded and reloaded my dishwasher. I also made my daughter laugh, and I didn't seek reassurance more than once today. What a win, right? I also changed her clothes despite my intrusive thoughts. You guys who have seen my post know that I have been spiraling. I relapsed with POCD in January after being free and clear of it for almost 3 whole years. It's been the biggest struggle, and today I had a bunch of wins and I think that counts for something. I'm still struggling and still second guessing everything, but I'm also trying to have one win a day. And today I had more than one, which is kind of a big deal for me. Thanks for everyone being here for me despite how many times I ask the same thing over and over. I'm just a mom who wants to be the best I can for my daughter; God gave me her and I want to raise her the way she should be.
