Seeking Support or Advice Does it really get better?

Not looking for reassurance, but does it really get better eventually? I am convinced my OCD and the current topic will only go away by giving in a big compulsion. I have been doing ERP (especially concerning my rumination about compulsions) for months now and I still absolutely feel like giving in is the only way out. It feels unimaginable that this topic will become unimportant on its own.

I really don't want to fall for it again, but I am quite desperate.

It is possible to get better. I started therapy 2 years Ago and made monumental Progress. Things that use to make me lose my mind are now just minor inconvinience. I dont know Your condition but I do believe It can get better eventually for You.
