Absolutely stoked everyone. My anxiety is starting to disappear, as is my ocd. I am so chuffed about it all. I never thought this day would come.

Whoohoo! EXCELLENT news! Congratulations!

What changed, that brought this about? Can you identify what caused this improvement?

Whatever it was, it's good to hear that you're doing better. Especially because it's much better to make this sort of improvement at your age than waiting around until you're my age to get there.

Congratulations, Ozze, and I hope it gets even better.

It isn't totally as gone as I would hope but I know it will be in time. However, what made the difference is I finally reached a point where I just gave up and said 'I don't care' to my brain, I just let it basically think what it wanted to think. After that the fear of fighting against the thoughts just gave way and I now have a handle on it. I even handled a sharp knife the other day for the first time in months.
