There’s utterly this element of walking through fire of mind for an ocd sufferer. Do not get me in ANY WAY WRONG: it is an absolute mix of a) utter fear b) entire mental exhaustion, and c) mind bending and mind altering mental imprisonment. That’s been me for, hmm… about 28 years of my 39 year life and still happening. There are no more ways to go at it other than to just… keep doing it. Because even if I do not in fact improve enough to live a good life, finally, it will still have been one do the most impressively resilient mental existences imaginable. I know that. Any chronic or even otherwise ocd sufferer will feel the same, I’m fairly certain of it 😃
