this is so sweet thank you yesterday i was at a point where i thought - damn i got so much better my mental health improved so much and still one intrusive thought has the power to completely rip me out of the current situation and pull me back into my own head again sorry for weird description dont know the right english expression for that i was so terrified that this will never change and i will always have to feel and live this way but the truth is at least for me that while the intrusive thoughts might never go away and i might always have this terrible feeling as my first reaction to it the second reaction to it will be better and better the time to recover from the terrible thought will get shorter while i am emotionally involved at first it will get easier and easier to distance myself from the thought and realize this is ocd you dont need to react to it any further hope this makes sense at all  thank you for reminding me that there is hope i wish you also a great day or night
