@sam1982379.bsky.social good to see you’re carrying on the great work re #ocdtalkhour ! Will try and pop by a bit more ! Importantly I hope you are doing well

It’s not easy , but with the right help (cbt/erp) and for some medication running alongside I feel that for many , you can go onto lead a life where ocd doesn’t dictate your life and what you can and can’t do . Regain one’s life back from ocd is doable #ocdtalkhour

Yep ! But I didn’t want to spend the rest of my life repeating it . I think Paul Salkovskis mantra of when we are hit by it , is to do nothing , and move on is helpful as is replacing the time we once use to carry out compulsion with something positive and productive

I used brain lock in my recovery , although I didn’t fall into the trap of saying “it’s not me, it’s the ocd” terminology. Added on cbt/erp worked well ! #ocdtalkhour

I think outside of books , Is that sometimes you can ask/ say what advice would you give to someone who is in your same position/place with ocd #ocdtalkhour

My OCD causes me to constantly seek reassurance from people around me that I didn't accidentally cause harm. I love for you that your OCD causes you to be slightly miffed when rugs aren't lined up.

So many takeaways from #periconf2024 but one thing sticking out in my mind is all about the money 💰 Of all health funding for research, mental health is at the bottom of the pile. Of that, research on #OCD gets the smallest % despite being a common & treatable condition
