I've been in and out of talk therapy for OCD-related issues for years, but it hasn't been effective long-term. I am struggling with body image / eating disorder adjacent obsessions and I am really hopeful that ERP might actually give me some relief. I had my first session with my NOCD therapist a few weeks ago. It felt like a good match and I was ready to unpack my obsessions and compulsions to try ERP for the first time. The day of my second session she canceled due to personal illness. Then this happened a second time. Yesterday all of my future booked sessions were canceled without explanation. I went to schedule with a new therapist and the ones that seemed could be a good fit are filled up until at least early April. I booked a slot and sent the therapist a message letting her know I would be interested in starting sooner if a slot opened up. I am just disappointed. I could just meet with another therapist who has earlier availability, but it's most important to me that the therapist be a good fit since I've been through therapy so many times. I feel like I'm in limbo until I have an ERP plan set up and I'm not sure how to move forward in the meantime. I'm planning try out a support group but I need a personalized exposure plan and I'm not sure if that's something I should just try to set up myself? Anyone have something similar happen to them? Any thoughts or advice would be helpful.

my ocd has severely flared up the past 2 weeks while Iāve been on spring break, probably because Iāve had nothing to do and Iāve been bored and boredom is a big trigger for my ocd/anxiety. I usually go every other week for therapy but the past two weeks I feel so lost and confused on my own and feel like I need to go every week but my therapist is booked and canāt get me in until 2 more weeks. My ocd hasnāt been this bad in years, and itās been so isolating and I feel so alone at home with my thoughts. Every 2-3 days my obsession changes, first it was health ocd after I got really bad allergies I convinced myself I was dying. After that it was harm ocd and I feared I would hurt myself, then it changed to me fearing harming others and Iāve felt scared to be around others even family. Iāve stayed up sobbing because Iāve felt so bad, so terrible. My therapist told me even though she canāt get me in, that if I really need to come in I should call her office and see if she has anything, but I feel like that would be pointless since she quite literally is booked- Iāve been clinging onto the few things I have from my last 2 therapy sessions but feel like itās not enough. does anyone have any techniques to deal with specifically harm OCD that I can use for the next two weeks?

So having not even made headway yet with sessions with my latest therapist (not NOCD) she has just left me hanging saying Iāve got too anxious and I need to increase my Remeron before she continues with me and wonāt even give me a date to start againā¦ā¦ā¦ I donāt really want to increase my meds as it was what she was saying to me in therapy that upset me, or is it really supposed to get worse before it gets better? My career that I worked so hard for is literally hanging by a thread and her doing this to me means I have to stay off work longer and Iām just really upset by her actions and the potential knock on effects of this š¢
