Trying my best to stop ruminating and practice acceptance and the possibility and not possibility of things being real. How many times am I going to have to tell myself the exact same thing
I’m in the same boat rn :(
I've recovered several times before, but recovery is a permanent process, because obsessions change and each time that happens you will have to put into use what you've learned to fight them. I used to struggle badly with Pure O. Now I struggle with contamination OCD, with the worst physical compulsions. It gets better, but you must retain all strategies and information you've learned about the disease and fight it for life. It is a permanent, chronic disease.
I like to think of my OCD as a permanent and perpetual, but manageable obstacle ☺️
