TRIGGER WARNING- suicidal thought mention! Specifically as a result of an OCD episode - Hey folks! I wanted to share that recently I have been recovering from a contamination OCD episode, and I am very proud of myself for surviving what happened. I realized looking at it as this “I can’t believe I got that bad” was only making me miserable, so, Instead I am telling myself, I am thankful I survived, and that I was able to call my therapist and have her help me. I was convinced I was contaminated, and my only option was to die, and she helped me come down from being convinced of that.
