I really want to go drive but my ocd won’t let me
After frequent anxiety and eventually a panic attack while out in the car, I have been avoiding driving for 3 months now. It is devastating to my mental health. I’m not completely housebound I go for walks and have driven to the closest grocery stores (not without anxiety) here and there but it’s so hard when there are so many obsessions/thoughts that are so frequent. I try to use my erp but it’s still so hard :( my obsessions/fears/thoughts never cease even when I’m at home. I feel so stuck and I want my freedom back. I’ve been in therapy 6 weeks now and not seeing much improvement. I feel horrible and so lost. Has anyone else ever struggled even after therapy? I try to use my erp all day everyday but because i have so many obsessions it’s so hard for it to not consume me
