It’s been a year since my first call with Nick. Back then, I was experiencing triggers every 1–2 days. Intrusive thoughts were present 24/7, and physical anxiety symptoms made me convinced I was dying every day. I had no hope and didn’t really believe the coaches’ videos.
Fast forward to now: after reading all the books twice, I barely have intrusive thoughts anymore (can’t believe I’m saying that). Triggers happen a lot less often, and I’m much better at dealing with them. I almost have zero physical anxiety symptoms compared to last summer. This doesn’t mean I never struggle, triggers still come up, but I now have the tools to handle them. For the most part, I can go days without intrusive thoughts.
I still consider myself early in recovery; there’s plenty of work to do and progress to make. But now I see that the coaches don’t lie! OCD Recovery isn’t just another internet scam. It’s the only place where you get real, correct information 💪
