A breakthrough…
Question:
I think I had my first real success with OCD last night. I went to a fraternity house, a place where I wouldn’t normally feel comfortable, and I had a great time. It was like my mind was able to rise above the obsessions…I think I’m finally starting to be able to use the impartial spectator, as in Brain Lock. I realized this, and I was so happy… I feel great and very confident today, like I’ve never felt before.

Thank you for the support, I think I’m finally seeing the OCD for what it really is. This is just the beginning, however, and I have a long road to travel. Ben

That makes a lot of sense, this was just the first time I conquered a fear like this. It was a pretty big fear, and kept me isolating myself for a long time. I was worried that I would go back to feeling anxious around people I don’t know, but the confidence has remained. Right now I’m in the Mayo Hospital visiting my cousin, and I’m feeling pretty uncomfortable. I think I’m obsessing that I will develope a contamination obsession. Does that make sense? I guess I should just lighten up. Thanks for the responses! Ben

Good going! Now having done it once, you can not say it can not be done. You have to expect backsliding, it is unavoidable, but you are getting there. best wishes, Richard – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text -Ben wrote: > "Pola_Pink" <pola_pin…@hotmail.com> wrote in message <news:x2tD8.7224$Q85.420428@ozemail.com.au>… >>Wow, I’m very proud of you!

Keep going. It is not an easy path to take.
