Plus, CBT encourages you to work on your own rather than being dependent on your therapist.

Thanks for your support and confidence.

Oh, and I should mention that I was also recommended Overcoming Low Self-esteem by Melanie Fennell by my therapist, so I have that to help me too.

I think that with the tools that you have, you will be fine.

We’re currently working out exactly what my problems are. It’s hard for me because I’ve never really analysed them before because I suppose I thought they were normal. I suppose they’re normal for me, but not normal in general. I perhaps thought it was everyone else that was weird, not me.

In my experience it is extremely important to work with someone who has a thorough understanding of OCD. I have been through many, many therapists in the past and though I have learned some great stuff from many of them, my OCD endured. This is the first time that I actually feel that I’ve got hope and I’m making progress in fighting this disorder.

I am learning how much OCD has permeated so much of my life, and also how much it has affected the decisions I’ve made. I’m excited to find out what life will be like when I finally have my OCD under control. Sending you positive, supportive thoughts!!

I’m sure I’ll be like that with my therapist soon. It’s still early days, and not everyone gets my sense of humour anyway at the best of times.

Good luck to you, too!

I feel far more comfortable with her than I do with most people. I can be myself and pop jokes with her like I used to and still do blogging. I wish you the best of luck!

It is very tedious in my opinion and should send you to sleep quickly!

I do the same thing with stepping on a crack with the other foot as well. It seems to even it out. However, if I don’t stand on the crack properly, I have to keep standing on cracks till it feels right. I also try to look ahead when I catch myself doing it.
