Wowh, this is exactly what I needed and I thank you all for this lecture. I struggle with OCD since my first one around the age of 5 or 6. My most recent one for the last 20 years which came out of no where wants me dead. The what if etc are very mentally painful. I have been of meds for 4 years but struggle with sleep so found it very interesting. I will start using my special light each morning and try and get a regular bedtime slot. I refuse to go back on meds so I either sort it or it will take me out, I am persistent. I spent 6 months as an inpatient clinic in the UK ten years ago and started having therapy again about 2 months ago as I have been doing lots of avoidance. I am doing lots of ERP and trying to ignore my head but thus illness likes to play tricks with me. If there is anything I can help with on those doing research or anything advice you Can please give me then just please reach out on the comments or if possible message me on here. OCD has robbed so much from me, once again thank you.
