Beating OCD

The OCD medication is continuing to work it's magic on Sami.  She's done many things this week that would have paralyzed her just a couple of weeks ago, such as walking barefoot outside, walking on the back deck barefooted, taking a bath instead of a shower, going to the zoo, using a public restroom, touching the car, wearing flip-flops, and using shower soap.  The old Sami is coming back. 

She's been doing activities on her exposures list (OCD map).  The medicine makes it easier to try the scary things, and I hope that these exposures will make her stronger for the day that she weans off the medication in the far future.
