I've known I have OCD since I was a kid but recently it's gotten completely out of control. I am terrified of doing ERP but I know it will help. I want to feel happy and at ease again! Thank you for sharing your story.

You can 100% feel happy and at ease again. It's a tiny tiny tiny part of my existence most of the time now. ERP can be scary and difficult but I tended to think of it as short term Vs long term harm. It's a quick short difficulty - it's brutal and tough at points, but then... you've done it. You've won a battle and you're onto the next one. And it's very fun to win those battles. The long term harm is keeping this thing - and as you say, it sucks the happiness out of so much.

Give it a try, would love to hear how it goes for you!
