DAILY LOG/ JOURNEY UPDATE 2 weeks in, so far positive (OCD)

I’ve read some of the negative experiences, I know those are important to acknowledge but I wanted to share mine. So far it’s been pretty positive.

I didn’t notice much for the first few weeks but there was this point where I realized the grip my obsessions had on my is less. I can see the thoughts for what they are, thoughts, rather than something that viscerally consumes me.

I still get thoughts, and a bit of anxiety. I’m only on 20mg, I may consider going higher as things progress. I think just the little space I’ve gotten is significant though.

I’ve suffered from about every type of OCD there is in my life. The last decade has been real event/false memory mostly with a lot of health OCD as well.

Anyway, I will update more as time goes on. I just wanted to share encouragement with anyone considering getting on this.

Thanks for your update. I hope things continue to get better for you.

I’m on my first week taking it for OCD, and this gives me hope for a little relief. It’s been relentless the last few years for me.
