You're not alone lol Don't worry too much about it, maybe you'll become a psycho, don't seek reassurance, stick with a "maybe"...
Also, you might have Harm OCD, and your psychiatrist isn't doing that much good by reassuring you as that's not ERP, i think it's CBD and that is not good for OCD
Yeah so he's a great doctor but doesn't specialize in OCD or ERP in particular. It was a CBT based therapy but I am excited to begin with my NOCD therapist this coming week! I have a hard time accepting the "maybe I will" and they theory behind ERP as it seems scary and new but i'm going to do my best to practice the process and trust the therapy as it is the "gold standard" of OCD. Thank you for the reply and support!
@MedStudentAnonymous You're welcome! I hope you can beat your OCD soon.
What does CBD mean?
I’m going through this exact thing right now. My Intrusive thoughts have been so bizarre, that I start to panic and think I’m delusional and going to lose touch with reality at any second. You are not alone and it’s so scary. I’m still trying to work through it. The best thing is to just let those thoughts come and sit back and just observe. Tell yourself “so what if I go crazy”. Sometimes I’ll try and use humor In it and tell myself “ at least if I go crazy I won’t have to deal with my responsibilities”. Sometimes that helps cause I can laugh it off but I definitely know what you are going through, I’m going through it right now too. It’s definitely very scary and hard to deal with. You are strong and you got this too. Sending you positive thoughts!
