Every time I start to beat it, it ups its game!! lol
I guess it's a good sign that I'm laughing
Back in 2017 my OCD was really, really bad. Ended up in A&E once and almost twice but my parents helped me out.
These days I've come up with a lot of strategies and things to try to deal with it. I'm kind of proud of myself to have fought back from the brink with it like that as I didn't use any meds and didn't even go to therapy or whatever. I just worked on it by myself, plus the occasional YouTube video or article or forum post!
But I'm definitely not out of the woods yet. Sometimes it really gets me. It has so many tricks in the formulation of "triggers" to try to make them sound as credible and scary as possible, you know?
One by one I keep trying to beat them and there are just more and more so I try to beat those too.
It has to run out sometime, right?
(sorry if this post/thread felt like it wasn't really going anywhere... it's my first thread so I guess I was just trying to explain my situation! )
