Thank you for addressing all of these issues Anita, this has been very helpful and interesting to me.

I hope you can maybe share more when you have the time, I will do the same.

I am seeing a psychotherapist but he is not using CBT, we are trying to get to the bottom of my anxiety but at the moment the process seems a bit stuck, and I am having all of this emotional turmoil that you so well described – at times I feel as though the issue has resolved and when I think back on it it seems so strange and ridiculous that I have had such thoughts. Then something triggers it again and I am back to square one.

I do trust my therapist though so hopefully there will be progress with time. I have been seeing him for over two years now and he has helped me a lot with other issues. I did feel that there was some progress on the ROCD front as well but lately this doesn’t feel like it is the case anymore. I do hope progress can be achieved with this kind of therapy and not only through CBT, maybe it just takes longer.

Thank you for your support and for taking the time to respond to me.
