Hi everyone.

Hope yous are all well.

I havnt post on here for a long time as I am trying so hard to get better!

I have more good days then bad days so guessing i am getting there

Still wanting on my cbt.

I still do get my harm thoughts but not as much anxiety that goes with it.

My life is on the up and I hope yours is to.

Love to yous all ❤

It's so uplifting to hear that things can and do improve, I'm so happy for you, its such an achievement that your anxiety relating to intrusive harm thoughts is decreasing and your having more good days than bad, you're obviously working very hard

Well done x

I’m so glad to hear you’re doing well! I’m struggling a bit since I cut down the sessions with my therapist but I’m trying to keep myself accountable with ERP and stay positive. The good moments still out weigh the bad so I can’t complain so much right now. I can’t wait to hear more about your progress!

Remember that struggling is part of the process, be kind to yourself and keep working hard! I believe in you!

Thank you, this comment really helped me even though I’m having a bad day OCD wise with repetitive thoughts and images in my head - but I think I’ll take it easy on myself and follow your advice!

Can anyone recommend a great ocd therapist in Manhattan, NY? I’m at my wits end.

Hi Max!

I am not from the area myself but if you visit the iocdf.org they have a link on their website where you can search for an OCD specialist in your area. Just make sure you’re seeing someone who offers ERP and not just talk therapy! Hang in there, it really does get better no matter how corny that may sound. 😊

Awesome to hear about your hard work and your progress! It’s all a journey and a process! Ride the wave and keep at it you’re doing great! I know it’s hard and I completely relate with the harm and suicidal themes, but I believe in you!
