I had a lot of victories every now and then. My compulsions got so bad that it used to take about 10 hours of my day, after I started Erp I was able to achieve the time where if it takes me 1 hour, it's a lot... It's not a cure but I took my life back

I went from suicidal to normal... had a lot of guilt with the compulsion to confess and this is gone. I had sexual orientation OCD, I had health anxiety, I had intrusive thoughts, I had POCD... you name it. Basically all gone, Im currently battling with indecision from time to time and ROCD which I now know are possible to cure since I have already conquered so many OCDs

What is ERP?
Can I hear some examples of specific parts of ERP that has helped you? I've been doing talk therapy for a few years and the major issue I have with it is that I already have analyzed all of my problems from every angle, so I'm kind of just sitting there yapping about it for an hour. I need solutions and things that make me feel better.

ERP
I’m starting NOCD. I had several years of cbt as a child (well over 20 years ago) and I see a trauma therapist. But now I’ll be seeking further help for OCD and just really scared. CBT wasn’t helpful for me. How has ERP been helpful for you? Do you feel like you’ll finally get your life back? I’m consumed by my obsessions 😢 Would love others feedback if ERP helped you ❤️

What's been the biggest surprise from ERP?
Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) isn't always easy, but as one of the most effective treatments for OCD, it's worth it. If you've started ERP, what has been the biggest surprise you've experienced in learning to resist compulsions? If you haven't started ERP yet, what is holding you back from starting?
