Getting My Life Back

NOCD has helped me so much since I was diagnosed in October. Its been a hard few months of intense ERP, but now I feel like I can take on anything. The strategies I've learned have helped me more than anything else ever has. I thought I was protecting myself before by giving in to my compulsions and avoiding everything, but that was just hurting me more. Now I feel much stronger and able to protect myself from my anxiety in a way that is actually helpful. I'm still learning to be okay with not knowing, but it is world's easier now than it was, and it is so freeing. It is possible!
