I've been pretty aggressive with exposures lately. Not perfect by any means, but I've chosen to hang out with sick people, ridden the bus, gone to potlucks, scheduled events right after wet soccer games, worn "contaminated" clothes, touched "contaminated" things, not rescheduled when OCD said that I should.
I feel powerful and good. I feel terrified. I am determined.

"I feel powerful and good. I feel terrified. I am determined." I love this statement. It reminds me that it's okay to be terrified, but that being determined and working through it, it will help me realize my own power. Thank you so much for the reminder.
