Guys please I need your advise if ERP works to help in beating OCD. Because I've heard that if you will not repeat your rituals you will win. I want to share you with you the worst thing in my life. I am currently addicted of watching porn and masturbation so I am trying to beat it however already for years I had a horrible rituals to finish masturbating with good thoughts means without obsessions about dying, died people, that I wll get a cancer and so on. And while I am having orgasm I am always struggling with that thoughts and if even a small thought or a picture in my head will be bad like picture I will die or picture from horror firm or anything else I need to repeat masturbation even if I don't want to do it. Sometimes I am so stressed because it gives me so big anxiety if I will not masturbate again something bad will happen and so often I can just stay in bed for 10 hours and masturbate for 10-15 times to finish with good thoughts so everything will be ok. I am so tired of that I lost my good mood and don't remember when I had a good one I can't beat masturbation addiction because of that ritual to masturbate again and don't have a few seconds bad thoughts while orgasm. Or sometimes don't have a God picture in your head because it is a big sin to have a picture of God while masturbating. But I don't want to think about it but again and again at the end of masturbation If I had these thoughts my mind or OCD says you're terrible person so immediately masturbate with good thoughts to avoid and troubles. And it is horrible to masturbate 15 times a day and spend more than 10 hours forcing you to do it because of OCD. Guys if someone knows what it is that why do I need to do this ritual and how to deal with that. I would be very happy if someone can help me or know how to help myself. I WILL VERY APPRECIATE Guys because my life is horrible because of that (((((((...

I honest to god thought I was the only one who went through something this traumatic. I spent 3 years battling a similar compulsion that forced me to masturbate 4x a day to avoid a feared outcome.

@Ruslan Did you overcome this? I am actually dealing with the exact same thing. I don’t know how to overcome it and I want to know how you solved this problem if you have

@rock414 Hey, sorry for late reply, yes i did overcome it and the only solution is to stop doing that, just stop, I know it's hard and your brain will try to force you to do the opposite, but that's the way you can recover, I stopped doing that and for days I felt bad and I had a lot of obsessions that must finish it again with good thoughts because something bad can happen, somehow I survived that mental torture and now it's not bothering me anymore, not only this, I reduced my OCD from 100 to 5% of all rituals and obsessions and it's not getting back, so yeah it's possible to overcome, but the solution is you need to break this cycle, don't follow OCD, no matter how bad it feels or how real it looks, just stay strong until habituation, and believe me, if you don't do it, I am 100 % sure, nothing will happen, I mean your obsessions will never become reality, it's just OCD, even though when it feels real, if you have anymore questions let me know, I will try to help because I experienced the same, and I know it's hard and very terrible feeling, but it's possible to overcome it. Cheers.
