remember how I fought it before and I'm so mad at myself because I don't know how I got so well before. I've been really struggling thinking I'm alone - no one around me understands it fully, even though they try. and this blog proves I'm not alone. Thank you
I’m so sorry to hear that you’ve developed Pure O, but I’m really proud of you for going to CBT and seeing a therapist. That takes a lot of bravery. Unfortunately, OCD doesn’t just go away. It tends to be shoved back for a while and then flare up again. From my experience, this is completely normal and happens to a lot of people with OCD. So please don’t beat yourself up or feel bad that it’s coming back. I know you’ll fight through this just like you did the last time. I’m also sorry to hear that no one around you gets it, but I’m glad that this blog has given you a good place to hang and be around other people with OCD. We’re with you 100%, and I wish you all the best, love.
(I’m going to publish this publicly because I think this will encourage a lot of people to keep fighting, and it addresses issues it seems a lot of us face. Please let me know if you want this taken down, love, and I will do so immediately.)
