I did not misclick a flair. I am sharing a win.

Entire year of 2024 was me struggling with my dissiociative episode from my OCD. February was especially difficult. I could not do my ERP because all thoughts that caused anxiety were instantly pushed out of my mind by my coping mechanism and I was struggling to bring them back each time. If you cannot expose yourself to a trigger you cannot do your ERP.

​

However my psychiatrist identified my dissiociation and prescribed me additional meds. It has been life changing. I can think my thoughts freely again. Yes, they do cause anxiety but that is wonderful, I can go back to work with my ERP. I would never think I missed my anxiety so much. Now the perspective of progress is real again.

​

I would want everyone reading with OCD to remember that dissiociation in OCD is real but you can overcome it with meds and therapy. It is just different kind of struggle but doable.

​

Have a nice day everyone.
