My obsessive-compulsive disorder was severe at that time when I first started it, so I believe the challenge had helped me in making it better. Because one of the symptoms I have was sexual images/thoughts. I'll start doubting that whatever I type to contain sexual words, and pictures I see to contain sexual images. Having the challenge helped me to cut down those thoughts.
Other than that, I like the idea that I was refraining myself from doing something because I want to. There are many things in life that we're forced not to do because we don't have a choice, regardless we want to or not. It makes me feel helpless with situations. But the challenge gave me the thought that I'm capable to be in control of my life because I can stop doing something I like because I want to. Maybe some kind of reverse psychology?
And because of that challenge, I have ideas of having one month challenge too. I haven't decide on what to challenge for a month yet. But I'll say this challenge is by far the best we have. Now I'm keen on testing my limit, like taking away items of comfort for a month, to stop eating something I like for a month, etc.
