I am scared to death to do some of the therapy I've been told to do, because I've done it and not had it work. I also know things that do work for me, so that is what I focus on. I've had therapists tell me to just make myself dirty (I have OCD) and don't wash for a few minutes, or even a few hours. I've done that many times, and it didn't feel any better later. I've even gone DAYS and I got worse, not better. But I'm not posting today to get into my frustrations, much as I'd like to--I have to find more time to do so. My point is, even if you feel hopeless sometimes--remember that you're not hopeless. Despite all my problems, I've had some successes. Never forget your successes.
