HOCD - HOCD= Me Now, Update for Dr.Lane and anyone suffering

Dear Dr.Lane,

I just want to give you an update on how Im doing. Ive gotten so much better. I mean ya, the thoughts are still in the back of my mind, but Im great! And actually today is a whole different story...

I wrote about what I went through these past months in my autobiography for school. I didnt specifically say what happened, but at least an outline about my unwanted thoughts. And when I got to that paragraph, which was the last one, I broke out in tears and my class was in shock. Then I started laughing and crying at the same time and my class and teacher were applauding me for five straight minutes! Then my teacher who I have at a different period next door was getting annoyed by all the clapping and came in and was like can you quiet down were taking a test. And everyone was like she had an emotional meltdown, and my friend was like, YOU DONT UNDERSTAND WOMAN! hahaha. Then he called me into his office and was like it was pretty brave for you to do something like that, and gave me a can of soda, and I walked back into my classroom and everyone started applauding again. hahahaha. And later that day when I looked up at the sky, It seemed different. It looked so beautiful, and I could finally enjoy it. I know now that I am going to be okay. I told one of my best friends about what was going on, leaving out the H in HOCD, just for obvious reasons of my own. But breaking down in that class has been so utterly embarrasing. Yet in a way, I truly think it has marked the beginning of my freedom. And thank you for all that you've done. I feel like I can tell you anything, even if everyone else on the internet can read what I say. Thank you. And for everyone else suffering from HOCD, being better is possible. Dont waste another day of your life on false thoughts.

With Love, pleaseDONThelpmeBECAUSEIDONTNEEDITANYMORE.

Thank you so much.
