Contamination

Hey Ashleyrenee! It can be really difficult to resist our urge to complete our compulsions. I can tell you, before I started learning ERP, there way absolutely nooo way I was going to just "sit with the uncertainty." I followed exactly what my OCD thoughts told me. I realized during treatment, the compulsions I completed were actually pushing me further into the OCD cycle. If you need help with learning how to resist those compulsive urges, please reach out!

@adelinesdragon Thank you so much 🫶🏻 I definitely will. I just scheduled an assessment with NOCD and I am looking forward to it (:

@ashleyrenee That is incredible! That’s already a big step. Proud of you friend!!!

Hello Ashleyrenee! This is quite the compulsion to do after a diaper change. May I ask how you felt after doing this? The reason that I ask is because I know that doing this only helped for a moment and each time I felt I needed to do it more and longer. As Adelinesdragon stated, feel free to find out how you can take the steps to slowly remove the need to do this. All the best! We are in this together!

@ I felt fine at first and then felt like I had to keep doing it because my hands were not clean enough 😅 and thank you so much!
