Hello, so sorry to hear you're going through such a tough time. Hope the surgery went well for you. As for the relapsing, you know better than any medical professional how you feel and the way the voice/behaviours can creep back in. Regardless of anything else, that will always be a reason to reach out for help. Eventhough I know that can be easier said than done. The wait until we are 'sick enough' very rarely comes. I hope this helps in some way for you. Take care the best you can right now x

Hi Horsemad, I agree with Learning2Live. You know how you feel and if you feel that the thoughts are intrusive or obsessive or affecting your quality of life I think asking for help is the best you can do. Maybe it will involve different doctors or sources of help. How did you reach your recovery status in 2016? I would love to learn what worked for you☮️
