Becoming stronger each day

I been diagnosed with OCD since 2016…but had symptoms my whole life. I think I felt my first OCD fear at age 5 or 6. I thought I was such a bad person and/or crazy. When I was diagnosed I thought “that can’t be me, I’m not organized and super clean”. My therapist explained to me OCD and I cried because I had never felt so seen after thinking I was going insane. I was in my early 20’s! After being diagnosed I tried ERP Therapy but I was not consistent. (I also was unmedicated.) This summer my OCD got so bad with so many themes that have haunting and bullying me. I seeked help and found NOCD and my current therapist. I didn’t have hope but with each session I felt stronger and better. It had been hard, especially at first. As the sessions kept going and doing ERP and realizing these themes aren’t bothering me as much. My therapist is also amazing! And to be told I’m a OCD Conqueror was such an emotional moment for me! I NEVER thought I’d get here! There is still so much work but I am happy with where I’m at so far! I was so hopeless so many times in my life about OCD. So many tears and sleepless nights. I never thought it would get better. Please know you’re on the right track! I can’t wait to see how much more I can accomplish. Thank you NOCD and to my therapist.
