Can everyone share their experiences of getting better here

Started in ERP in February. At the beginning, cried and told them I genuinely thought I’d never get better. I thought I was destined to be utterly miserable forever, especially after increasing my Prozac dosage with every passing season. Was really looking to end the misery one way or another, and in the process of sabotaging my first romantic relationship that had taken so long to form in the first place because of my OCD. I am 85-90% better. OCD and associated rumination takes up 5-10 minutes of my typical day, instead of several hours of traumatic spiraling. Working on one of my non-OCD phobias now and monitoring steady relief from Major Depressive Disorder. I told a bunch of friends that I genuinely felt like I had no life left to live in January. It’s May and I can assure you that I was wrong. A good ERP therapist is everything.
