Today is hard!
Today is being a hard day… Iam not giving in on my compulsions and also scared my OCD is too hard to treat…that anything in the future that can possibly trigger will make me fall into this loop. 😔

You’re doing amazing! That’s the illusion that OCD wants you to believe. Think of OCD like a toddler throwing a tantrum, if you give it what it wants it learns that it can control you, but if you let it “cry it out”, you’ll teach it that you have power over it!

Do ERP helps prevent this episodes when something triggers?

ERP helps teach your brain that you can handle the anxiety and sit through the discomfort. In the long run, this is one of the best therapies out there for OCD, so yes! I recommend watching the YouTube channel “OCD and Anxiety” he’s awesome!

You’re not alone! We all feel the same way sometimes but it never lasts forever! NEVER! You’re a very brave person and I believe in you!
