Just started having CBT and struggling?

[Hopsicle]

I have been diagnosed with OCD for around seven years now and just started having CBT therapy to try and conquer it

My main issues lie around fears over contamination from people, objects and written words but I also suffer from severe levels of anxiety and depression that bounce off from this

Has anyone else had good/bad/difficult experiences with CBT that they would like to share

Im struggling with the homework tasks and finding people who can really understand the impact that fighting this thing has on you - OCD becomes sooo habitual and soo much a part of your life that Im feeling a little lost at the idea of fighting it

Hi Hopsicle,

I know just how you feel. I felt that CBT was trying to change the way I am not the way I think. I have had to have a break from it at the moment but hope to go back to it in a few months.

i did fine some of the homework time consuming and difficult to face, I felt uncomfortable with the ideas, so i tended to concentrate on the things I felt worked.

Good Luck and Take care
