Sorry I pressed Share too soon. If those of us on this app were sitting across from the table talking with you - we would totally understand your struggle. I know it doesn’t make it easier, but you can know that we totally understand the struggle. Through those struggles one at a time we get better and OCD has less of a hold on us. When you have those struggles maybe find something you enjoy doing and give yourself some compassion. Be patient you’ll get through this 👍.

I’m sorry to hear you are struggling. I’m so glad you reached out on this forum. It is a great place for support. There’s going to be bumps in the road, but keep at it. Recovery from OCD is progress not perfection. Remember to celebrate the victories and be kind and patient with yourself. I am in ERP (Exposure and response prevention) therapy. ERP helped me realize that i can tolerate uncertainty and fear and handle negative emotions and anxiety without engaging in compulsions. The more you practice ERP, the more you build resilience. ERP is the gold standard treatment for OCD and has a great rate of success with OCD. If you are not in therapy, please consider reaching out to the NOCD care team for a free 15 minute consultation; link below: https://www.treatmyocd.com/calendar?src=homepage&_gl=1*dpgbx1*_gcl_aw*R0NMLjE2MzY2NTk5MTQuQ2p3S0NBaUFtN09NQmhBUUVpd0FydkdpM0QwaEhYczN1Q0ZabWhVRUF4RndaaDJoa3AxbTRnek9TRWQweUJ4U3pqeU1SRU9FNGVwZkFSb0NNY0VRQXZEX0J3RQ
