Hello everybody.  Just want to give an update about myself.  It has been a long while since I posted last.  There are probably some people out there wondering what happened to me.

Well, I still don’t suffer from OCD.  I haven’t relapsed.  Life has been pretty good.  It has been almost 2 years since I started getting over OCD.  Right now, I try to help other OCD sufferers.  They remember what I used to be with the OCD and now they see me without the OCD.  They know there is an out.  I offer them hope.  And the same, there is not much I can do to help them except offer ideas in how to approach in getting well.  I cannot cure them.  They can only cure themselves.

From my personal experience, I had to get over my OCD.  I read books, took medication, and saw doctors, but in the end I had to get over the OCD.  I had to do the homework.

As a said, I haven’t relapsed.  I am very lucky.  I don’t know many people who got over OCD and haven’t relapsed.  I can only think of one other person and I haven’t seen that person for a while.  (I hope she is still well.)

My advice: The drugs are not a cure.  The books are not the cure.  The doctors are not the cure.  You have to do the homework to face your fears.
