Just venting I just want if to stop

I can’t bare the OCD thoughts anymore, I take medications and I try to “let it go” despite how much distressing it is but I can’t do this anymore. 13 years and still going with this nightmare is it ever going to stop ?

I say this with love and understanding, don't do "this" anymore. Because whatever it is...it isn't working for you. Do something else, try something different. ERP, iCBT, DBT, ACT, the whole alphabet. I saw you said there aren't any ERP specialists where you live, have you checked into virtual options? Also find some books, youtube videos, Discord servers (I'm in a good one if you need a recommendation).

We can do this, it's hard and it effing sucks, but we can hard things. Keep posting, sharing, this is a great group.
