I just wanted to say a BIG THANK YOU to this group. Last week I didn't want to be here.....I am in the UK and I got calls from this group to make sure I was ok and my therapist called me and Dr McGrath helped too. Thank you so much. I have done my erp for the last two days and am finding it very hard but I know if I persevere I will get better. This disorder is the cruelest of mental health conditions and makes you feel like such a horrible person. I am NOT and never will be bad or evil person even though right at this moment the OCD is saying I am. I am kind and caring and have a mental health disorder that causes me to have intrusive thoughts that upset me so much. Just because I have told people who I thought were like family makes no difference..... it is only since they fell out with me over Covid that these OCD thoughts have come in.....I have never thought this way about these people before but the OCD has latched onto this insecurity and the fact I can't get reassurance anymore. I WILL get over this episode and it is all thanks to this site. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your genuine concern and kindness. I will persevere with the erp even though it has been conjurung up all sorts of thoughts today. Thank you, just thank you xx
