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!

Ocd
My OCD has never been this strong, it's so real, it feels like it will never go away, it's never been this strong for me and it's very scary.

Having a hard time
I have to be alone with my children tomorrow and I'm scared. Harm OCD has me panicking and ruminating. I don't want to hurt my babies they mean everything to me. I keep fighting for them, I got a better job for them and I want to create a better life for them. I'm so afraid that I might hurt them so I need to be away from them but I also don't want to be away from them. The thoughts and images are so much. I'd rather die before I hurt them. Accepting the uncertainty of possibly hurting them is not something I can accept or live with. And it doesn't help having existential ocd because that says none of it matters anyway. I just want to be the old me, I hate this disorder I hate this disease I hate me for having these thoughts. I'm sorry for ranting. I just need to get it out. I hate this worry disorder!
