It’s possible
It feels impossible, it feels like the anxiety will never not be debilitating, but it is possible. I was crippled with anxiety over salvation. I had panic attacks, nightmares, depression, suicidal thoughts, and lost the will to live. I wanted to stop going to church, I couldn’t go a day at work without falling asleep, and I was separating myself from my family. With Ian Reeder’s help and hard work, I made it to a point in this battle I couldn’t have imagined, conqueror. Now, the OCD and symptoms are still there, but I’m able to live a life that doesn’t revolve around my OCD. My intrusive thoughts are there, but don’t control my brain. I’m not as mentally drained as I once was. The battle is not over, as far as I’m concerned, it’s just begun. But I’m living proof that it’s possible. It gets better, just don’t give up and listen to your therapist. They are giving you tools, but it’s up to you if you use them.
