Treatment question
How long did you do therapy/ERP before you started to notice a difference in your OCD?

OCD is like a rollercoaster. There are ups and downs and you will have good days and bad days. There will never be a cure and I know I will never stop compulsing, but my goal is to compulse less.

I noticed a difference within the first week. Since then I noticed more of a difference in the next two weeks. I went from not being able to work because I couldn't get dressed for weeks to working 3 days a week! Now, I have taken 50 steps back and called into work every day this week because I couldn't get dressed.

@Nica Did you have pressure from your therapist to make faster progress?

@Anonymous No, but I have 6 mental illnesses I had to deal with and it was one therapist who did it all, so it worked out eventually.
