I feel as though I have gotten so much better since I found this site. I do find it difficult to read about the sv* going around...but I hear that in my day to day life. I find strength in the numbers and the fact that many of my little quirks and thoughts are similar to other emets. I feel more confident when I push myself to do the small things that it takes to overcome this. When I found this site, my emet had gotten so bad that I couldbarely function in society~thinking of v* consumed me. I find myself now thinking how all of you are doing instead of myself. I still have a long way to go...but IES will help me get there.
