I'm a disabled mother of two. I've been happily married for 21 years. I have lots of crafting hobbies and I love to volunteer when I'm able. I suffer from Pure OCD with intrusive thoughts, depression, anxiety, paranoia and PTSD. I'm currently in therapy and working with a psychiatrist. I have a hard time opening up and hope to change that with this group. I look forward to meeting everyone and offer my support to others.

Hi, and welcome. It's good to see you here.

How long have you been in therapy for OCD? Are you doing ERP for your OCD?

Hi! Welcome!! I would echo what selesnya asked- are you seeing an ocd trained therapist that does ERP? (Exposure and response prevention). I ask because I have anxiety, depression and pure ocd with harm thoughts and relationships ocd. I’m 57 and after years of avoiding, ups and downs with my mental illness, I finally got the help I needed and am doing great!! I would say I’m in recovery. I also know that this is a lifelong illness that i will always need help for. We are here for you💝
