Had a very encouraging talk with Dr. Dilley on Friday. Before I explained what was haunting me, he reminded me no matter what it was the OCD. It seems to be especially spiritually related thoughts that get me with my OCD. The inexplainably difficult part is that my brain tells my emotions it is what Im fixated on - and I mean deeply painful emotions. It is so helpful to be reminded I have OCD and that's exactly what is causing these horrors. But it's not just my family that may have difficulty understanding OCD and what me having it entails. I have just as much difficulty reminding and convincing myself of it. But it is so freeing and the only way to conquer such abnormal emotional tortures. And praise God for the uniquely similar spiritual insight Dr. Dilley and i share or it would make our meetings much less comforting.
