What about the urges? The urges feel so strong that my mind is telling me in order to feel relief from my thought is to act on my thoughts ….

It’s hard when the thoughts are so upsetting. I wanna know when I’ll be back to who I was around children. I am gentle and loving and harm ocd has ruined me.

@Anonymous 3 -4 months. I just started erp. I got off meds and feel better they were making it worse. I wasn’t even on them before I had this one intrusive thought and severe anxiety this year due to lots of life changes.. also never had ocd before and I’m 27..

@Shianne I know one reason for OCD to rest it’s ugly head is around transitions. I had HORRIBLE, debilitating ROCD. I was depressed, couldn’t eat, anxious AF. I found sheryl Paul, an ROCD specialist. Maybe Google her and read all she has to say about OCD. OCD attacks our character, values, morals and makes us doubt ourselves - it’s the doubting disease. That you’re suffering tells me already the thought content isn’t your truth. It’s OCD having a field day with you. Also check out Mark DeJesus on YouTube. He’s AMAZING!

@Shianne Thank you! I’m coming out of the worst OCD spiral I’ve ever been in. It’s an absolute living hell. I’m so so afraid to wake up in the morning, worried I’ll be back in the dark pit again. I hope not but I’m so afraid it will happen.

@Anonymous Tomorrow will be my fourth session I think. We haven’t gotten started on any ERP because I’m in such a bad state when we are in session. Depression has moved in really badly. I called my psych end of last week and adjusted my meds so I’m hoping I’ll have it together enough tomorrow to get somewhere.

I feel like I’ve tried everything to get better but I feel anxious every second of every day which feels like my brain is saying “see you feel anxious/guilty your thoughts must be true” I just can’t see an end to it
