A nice bonus is that I now handle the uncertainty of life outside of OCD much better, which has been very useful these last few days.

In 2025, I’m excited to do whatever I want, unburdened by OCD, because OCD doesn’t rule my life after specialized therapy.
Before ERP, I lived my life in a box. I would avoid lots of movies, books, video games, songs, news topics, anything that could potentially trigger intrusive thoughts. I would spend hours doing mental compulsions to avoid the discomfort of my brain. I would always need reassurance, and I would always doubt myself (and others).
After ERP therapy, I no longer fear getting out of my comfort zone. Now I specifically look for ways to get *out* of my comfort zone. OCD doesn’t dictate my life.
