Hi guys. In the last months I've been quite relax and happy, being able to work on my OCD and personal development. But Now I need to make my 6 months medical checks,l and I am very scare about the results. So it seems all my hard work about coping with uncertainty, ERP or acceptance was worthless (I know it was not) I am taking meds again. And I know I need to get back to the basics(acceptance, mindfulness, focus on my values, avoid compulsion...) But I've done a poor job so far.. any advise out there?? This time is being really hard fellows.

There's nothing to say that you shouldn't take meds, if they help. I take them and have done for years! I take them because they help!

Don't think that you've done a poor job. It's a struggle, having OCD, and every little resistance we make against the OCD is a victory, and just attempting it makes us more likely to succeed.
