You can do it!!!

My dears - I know you doubt that I have felt like you but I promise I have. Feeling panicked, feeling exhausted from constantly being afraid, and even self hatred for having “control” of your fears but unable to get past them. I often thought - “I want to live, but I won’t live long if it continues like this.” I couldn’t picture myself growing old because my suffering was so great. I had doubts that I had OCD. I say all this because I got the correct treatment - ERP, and I also used other therapies to help with my inner feelings/shame and to learn emotional management - within a year it was if my life changed completely. I am about to be engaged, happiest I’ve ever been, ocd has taken a complete backseat. It’s honestly unbelievable to me. Plz put your mental health first! You won’t regret it! Your hard work will pay off!
