What kind of therapy are you in? I was in therapy for many many years, but it was CBT and just made my OCD worse. In just a few months doing NOCD therapy, I’ve made so much progress. ERP is the only way.

I was in therapy for awhile, and for me, I realized I wasn’t doing the actual work outside of therapy to make myself better. I wasn’t practicing true acceptance of all possibilities and was still finding comfort and using any “good” or “reassuring” feeling / thought I had as proof my fears weren’t true. I was good with exposing myself to my fears, but it was hard the other way around to not find comfort in what I wanted the outcome to be. Not sure if this makes sense, but you’re not alone! Keep working at it, it’s really hard to recover from ocd. And I am definitely still working on it everyday!

I have had SOOCD for 5 years now - periods of good but lots of flare ups and my boyfriend and I have been together 5 1/2 years and I worry what if I’m lying to him x
