Like, what's the point of it?

Another form of OCD that I fortunately have never had this theme, but again, is really common, but people are ashamed to talk about it, is you think that you're going to randomly push someone in front of a car or push someone onto the tracks of a subway.

So then you don't leave your house.

Or when you do, you get so anxious because you think that you're going to do this thing.

And the person experiencing that thinks they're a psychopath.

They think they're crazy, but actually it's the fact that they don't want to do it and that it's accompanied by so much anxiety that makes it OCD.

So to zoom out from the weeds, it's some sort of intrusive thought and feeling

that is like 10 out of 10 bad, accompanied by some kind of compulsion that you do to make it go away, which can be something external like counting, like organizing, like washing your hands, but it can also be something internal like problem solving or trying to convince yourself all the reasons you won't do that bad thing.

I think it's a little bit of both.

So what I'd say is that I still have OCD, but my experiences of it are much less frequent.

And when I have them, I have tools and they're less intense.

So if these intrusive thoughts and feelings used to take up eight, nine hours of a day, and that's what it was like when it was bad.

Now, maybe it's a few hours a month.

How did I get there?

The short answer is through eight months of therapy and medication.

And I am so grateful, again, that I got the right care.

I got in treatment early.

And now I meet with my therapist about once a month.

But now it's more just like a coaching relationship since I do have the skills to navigate the OCD when it comes on.

But yeah, for those eight months, it was pretty intensive therapy.
