You can do it too

I promise you, you can. Taking on ERP might be one of the most difficult things you ever do. It’s staring at your very worst fears in the face and refusing to back down. It is difficult and takes time, practice and hard work. There might be days where you wonder if it’s even working, especially in the beginning when it’s almost guaranteed to get worse before it gets better. Just. Keep. Going. What’s much more difficult is living staying stuck in OCD’s loop of terror. It does not need to be that way. You might feel unhelpable, beyond repair, that OCD has “won”, but these are all just tactics that it uses to keep you trapped. Recovery is possible for absolutely everyone. You CAN get to a point where your days are largely or completely unbothered by OCD. There might be days that are slightly harder than others, the difference is you know what to do and how to react. So wherever you are at in treatment, however real it is feeling (likely 100% as OCD likes to do🤣), keep trusting the process and just keep going. I promise your wins will add up in the end.
