Anyone who did erp successfully how do you feel?

I think hating your brain is a common experience among those of us with ocd. Unfortunately this is the brain we have. My experience with ERP has been amazing. It is a lot of work and it is challenging most times, but I have found if you stick with it, do the exposures faithfully and commit yourself to it ERP will work well. Please keep in mind ERP is a tool to help us manage ocd - it is not a cure. There is no cure for ocd. But I can tell you my life got a lot better. I hope this helps.

Yes, I do it all the time, multiple times a day now that I’m recovered and don’t see my therapist often.

Ive done ERP. Afterwards I was myself again and I was able to disregard my thoughts and get back to enjoying my life. I would look at fears I had been so tackled by and ask myself how could this even have bothered me. In my experience OCD is very treatable. Its just about working with the experts who know what to do and giving it the chance.

How often do you get ocd attacks how long have you gone feeling regular again?

At times Ive gone years feeling better. I still had OCD thoughts but I managed them correctly. Its random how OCD spikes occur still. But even in my condition now the fact I did take therapy in the past helps me manage the best I can now.

Thank you guys for sharing

Hey! I get that feeling. OCD can become so overwhelming, we often feel like giving up. Know that learning ERP is a process! It takes commitment, day in and day out. Remember that small steps create big changes in the long run! If you can do a small exposure today, you'll thank yourself for it down the road. There's no quick fix for OCD but with time and daily ERP, you can get to fully managing your symptoms.
