Can ocd appear as feelings to?
I always am ruminating on how depressed, or numb, or sick I feel. Is this also ocd how do I do ERP for intrusive feelings?

Yes definitely - I am trying a new technique - labelling - I just acknowledge the feeling in my head - “I’m feeling queasy” or just saying to my self “nervous energy” and I really do my best to just carry on with what I’m doing and not go down the path of - “hm why am I feeling nervous? I thought I was better but I still feel nervous.. there must be a reason I feel nervous.. oh god I’m never going to be better” spiral. I hope that helps? Just label your feelings and do not engage. Best of luck and strength to you x

I’m sorry to hear that you are dealing with OCD and the unwanted feelings that come along with it. It is very common for intrusive feelings to come along with OCD so you are not alone. Practicing non-engagement techniques can help stop the OCD cycle. You got this!
