Hi everyone! I’m new here! Today my therapist officially diagnosed me with OCD and it is nice being able to label what I feel. She recommended I look at the community on this website so I can see that other people also experienced what I have. My OCD types are harm and sexuality. It sucks. I’m feeling better now that I am on new medicine but will be starting ERP soon to hopefully learn some new coping mechanisms and lessen the debilitating anxiety that often accompanies OCD. I hope you’re all doing well and staying safe. Please take care of yourselves and remember that you have so much love and happiness inside of you!

Hi and welcome. I got serious about ERP earlier this year (with a therapist) after having OCD for decades. ERP can be challenging but I am doing much better because of it. I'm convinced that the techniques I'm learning can help with all the various flavors of OCD I've struggled with over the years.
