The work pays off

I remember reading people’s stories about overcoming their ocd compulsions, etc. and thinking “I’m glad for them, but there’s no way that I could be able to do it, my ocd is too bad/I’m not strong enough/etc” and throughout the last year of doing Erps with a great therapist and sticking with the work, it’s paid off! So if I can do it, you can too! No one is beyond help, it takes time and work, and sometimes work is a tiny step a day, but it still counts! There are still struggles, as ocd is ever evolving, but ocd is so much less scary when you learn about it and try to understand it with empathy and give yourself compassion. You and your healing journey are worth the time and energy it takes to do Erps and therapy work! Good luck, and thank you. 💚
