Hi @DC82 I completely agree. I hope you have successes to tell us about soon too ?

Well done @Lollipop, that is brilliant work!! Can anyone help, my notification said that ‘Lollipop and Guest commented’ but I can only see Lollipops’ comment

@Jumbo you are really racking up these successes! Personally though, I would not see your trip out at night as a ‘small victory’ I would see it as a great success! You could not go out at all at night but now you have made some headway, as you said little by little. Thank you so much for sharing and keep going you trooper!

@Jumbo that is FANTASTIC well done!!!!! That is incredible work! I can relate, I have not been out, even into the garden, for about a month as I am terrified of getting Covid and giving it to someone else. I am so impressed, well done man!! I am rooting for you for next week!! Your being very brave challenging that OCD beast

OldCrazyDame I am so sorry it tormented you for so long! I set up this thread, as I wanted us all to be able to see peoples’ recent successes and so hopefully give us all a little boost and your story certainly does that! I am so happy for you, what you have achieved is AMAZING, and inspirational! Thank you for sharing it.

thank you Ashley

Thank you all very much! Cub: It was very scary, your right! I hope you don’t mind me saying but when you say ‘I'm glad… that I'm just still alive’ you are showing just how much you have to be proud of; you kept going and by the sound of it fighting and that takes guts! Also, as you mentioned it, I imagine being honest with your family was hard; but again, you wanted to do it and you did and that also took guts! I am really glad you can seek help when you want or need it. rebecca23x: Thank you for sharing. That is fantastic!! I am so happy for you, role on Monday!!

Hi all, I am feeling very proud of myself; today I told my psychologist some extremely personal things that I have never told anyone before. It took me a number of weeks and her help and encouragement. But despite it being excruciatingly hard to start speaking, I did it. I could not find a success thread for this year (my apologies if I missed it!) Does anyone else have any successes in combating their OCD which they would like to share? On a personal note, our disorder is a monster and I want to say well done if your combating it or thinking of combating it in the future!
