Hi Everyone! Hope you all had a wonderful week so far! I just wanted to make this post as a bit of a vent/life update post, as i feel this is a safe place to get everything of my chest. Please ignore my writing, im just kinda writing as it goes :joy:

So, as some of you may know i was diagnosed with OCD and PTSD last November. Its been a challenge, but ive been getting through it the best i can. I was recently placed on Anti-depressants to help with my IBS, which also has had a posititve affect on my mental health. I recently recieved a phone call from my psychiatrist and im going to be receving CBT treatment towards the end of this month!

Being on the medication so far has helped, although not removing alot of it, its helped me cope better throgh these tough times. One thing though that its helped is i recently purchased this Toy. Now, it probably sounds silly to some, but due to my OCD a part of it is i fear contamination, which is the reason ive never brought a toy i could insert into as i felt stuff would get contaminated when it came to cleaning up. However i decided to push myself and also decided to treat myself too a decent toy.

And oh my god am i happy i brought it. It has taken some time to get used to, but it has been amazing and allowed me to have some better masturbating sessions, which ive not had for a long time. I was worried at first of buying a toy like this beacuse i am a virgin and didnt want to ruin my first experiance, but as a few of you lovely people gave your thoughts and i finally convinced myself to buy one.

Although im still dealing with everything, im happy with the progress and am proud of how far ive come in such a short space of time. It might not be much, but its progress.

Thank you to everyone that has contributed or talked with me over the past year, its been lovely having conversions with everyone and i hope to continue doing so. I feel like i have to give a special thanks to @Tenshadesandme, for providing me with personal advice and helping me through my lowest and @WaveyAlien, for our conversions and being such a great, friendly person.

Good to hear, especially the part about cbt treatment. I believe long term, it is better overall than medication. I hope you have great success with it
Are you able to share what caused your ptsd? Sometimes it helps, for some they do not want to. Either is fine.

So glad to hear you’ve made progress and especially having bought your first toy and discovered all the joys your missing out on :smiley:

One thing doctors kinda brush by on when you take anti depressants is they aren’t a magic happy pill… majority of them are used to help ease symptoms and make life more bearable to manage daily.

Fingers crossed you continue to come on leaps in the coming months :nerd_face:

I’m assuming the CBT in question doesn’t relate to the usual cock and ball torture used on this forum?
