OCD is A Journey

OCD is a journey. There is no linear path, no one stop shop, no one remedy fits all. It takes a lot of work to reconnect with who you know you are when your brain is telling you that you are someone else. The erp strategies at times may seem simple and others may seem too hard but I just wanted to let you all know that they worked for me. It was hard, very hard. Sometimes my ocd even tried to tell me I was being a loser for being scared of the things it was affirming I should be scared of. This condition is convoluted, latches on to so many themes, and doesn’t discriminate. When you’re starting to feel better you can sometimes even feel it trying to latch on to something else, this is where erp is super important because you’ll be healing from your current theme, not be at a session, and it will try to attack a different value. I just wanted to say that it is possible to heal, it is possible to thrive, it is possible to live with OCD. Take it one day at a time when you can and don’t forget to be super intentional about your healing. Keep your head up, you’ve got this!
