You've worked hard to get here

Saying thank you to the therapist on the last session and that I've got it from here.

FREEDOMMM

When you can feel the difference it’s made

finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel

Regaining myself again…

Feeling hopeful that things can improve, instead of feeling hopeless and trapped by my OCD

Being able to breathe again, and feel joy.

success

The ERP exposures, most notably losing my V card lol 🤣🤣

Being able to live my life to the fullest!! Understanding that I don’t have to miss out on anything because OCD doesn’t dictate anything in my world.

Realizing that you can live with uncertainty, doubt, and other painful/uncomfortable experiences and emotions without trying to stop, fight, or get rid of them

Learning how to reframe my fears.

reframing the fear from “oh no i have to wash my hands” to “i’m going to practice sitting in the discomfort a little longer”

Understanding that I am capable of living the life I want to live

Hope

Realizing I was on charge.

Feeling free, fearless, and so self loving 🤍

Knowing that I'm not crazy! I'm not a broken human!

When the anxieties and self doubt started to recede and I became able to be the person I always wanted to be.

Seeing how far you’ve come, I thought I’d never be able to drive a car, and now I do it normally and consistently without a problem. It’s crazy to look back and see all that progress

Honestly getting the diagnosis, it was huge for me. I felt like none of the other diagnosis’s fit all of my symptoms, I researched and found OCD, and talked to many doctors and people about it, but was told I don’t have it. I was finally diagnosed after 2 years of trying, someone actually listened. I was nearly crying I was so happy, because I knew I’d get the right treatment now, I knew what was so wrong with my mind, I knew there was another side to all of that fear and depression. I made it to the other side :)

making myself push through and see the potential to grow and take my life back! working on conquering those sneaky mental compulsions

The title seems like a necessary reminder to me at a time when my sibling fought and says the meanest things to me.

having the best support system on my side 🥺

Hi I'm new to the app and to the realization that I'm OCD I've had 3 years where I never left my house I wash my hands to much I freak out when someone coughs it sniffles near me. I still want to wear a mask most days....and some of my thoughts are completely and utterly mind blowing. I'm here to learn

Gives me hope! Im just starting. Im terrified.
