I now feel like a completely different person

Posted By coinpy56

"I now feel like a completely different person"

About: Inclusion Thurrock (Talking Therapies)

(as the patient),

I felt low, couldnt do what i loved doing ( which was looking after my 3 grandchildren) incase one of them was sick. My ocd was through the roof and out of control. My life consisted of cleaning, washing my hands a lot and more cleaning. It consumed my life and i reached out for help.

My therapist broke down my problems and we worked on them gradually. Approaching each problem so it could be overcome. Slowly but surely as the weeks went on my ocd dropped drastically, hand washing too. It was all slotting into place. Best thing i ever did was to reach out and now i feel like a completely different person and i feel able to get on with life a lot happier

Dear coinpy56,

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback of your experience with Inclusion Thurrock Talking Therapies.

Living with OCD can be very difficult at times and can lead to feelings of low mood and helplessness. It is encouraging to hear that you were able to reach out for support with OCD as it was preventing you from being able tot do the things you love.

It is amazing that you found a therapist who was able to work on understanding and working on the problems that affected you the most. Through this, you found yourself reducing repetitive behaviours. I am glad to hear that you are happier and feel like a different person to before.

Thank you for letting us be part of your journey to recovery, your wonderful feedback is greatly appreciated.

I hope that your positive experience will encourage others to share their story with us at Inclusion Thurrock Talking Therapies.

All the best,

Taffy
