Starting my PHP program on Monday for ocd too. And I got upgraded from IOP after a month of it. I am feeling exactly how you are right now.

I understand your anger so much. Sometimes it feels like everyone else has it so much easier than I do.

I had a massive resurgence of symptoms in early medical school. I thought I would never be well again, I thought about dropping out, I thought I would never recover. But I did. And I just started my fourth and final year of medical school. You are SO not alone and you are SO valid for being angry. You can get through it 🫶🏻

It’s not your fault either. People don’t know how much it takes to struggle when others don’t.

As an OCD sufferer, I understand your grief. No one understands how debilitating and consuming OCD relapses can be. I hear you and I want you to know you are not alone. I had a relapse last year and I committed myself to the mental hospital and I’m currently dealing with a current spike in symptoms. I have cried so many tears for the person I used to be prior to being diagnosed. Sadness and anger are completely valid. I am sending you so many positive vibes as you go through the program, I’m proud of you for taking this step.

As someone who SHOULD have done this multiple times but didn’t, you are doing the right thing. That being said, you are absolutely valid for being furious that this is your experience! It DOES suck! Doing the program despite how unfair and crappy this is speaks volumes more about you than your OCD does. Wishing you nothing but the absolute best 🫶🏻

The kids miss you, come home :
I did inpatient and php in middle school for depression, and now as an adult (26) i'm discovering my 'anxiety' is probably OCD not JUST anxiety.

I am angry that I have to get on ssris.. but I am at the lowest point. I don’t want to lose myself yet I want to finally feel free from my ocd and anxiety and depression that I got from them.

Two PHPs followed by two IOPs for me and years worth of time spent consumed by depressive episodes. You’re right, it’s not normal and it’s not fair and you shouldn’t have to do it. But you can and you will get through it. And when you feel like you’ve “lost” time remind yourself how much value it adds to your well being and know that is NEVER a waste of time

One quote that pushed me through recovery was “you don’t have to be happy about doing it, do it miserably” tough times don’t last- but tough people do!!!

Katelyn Lea :
I’m so sorry you’re going through this. I have OCD and have terrible flare ups that seem to happen every 3-4 years. It really comes in waves. It’s so frustrating knowing what’s wrong and not being able to fix it. And nobody around you doesn’t have to deal with it. You’ll get through the wave but sometimes it just sucks!

Completely understand! I finally started therapy 3 years ago for specifically for OCD. ERP is awful, but I know beneficial. I still struggle with it and it sucks. Especially when I look around at my friends who are all buying homes, having kids, getting married. Then here I am spending all my money on my mental health.

i feel this deeply lol a pity party is absolutely necessary when u realize even after years of “getting by” with it, that ocd still has this utter complete grasp on how u live your life and how it affects others around you… hang in girl u got this!!
