Hey everyone!! So i’ve overall felt like therapy has been helping slowly over the course of time and some days I feel like my old self to some degree and then others i feel caught up/back where i was with the ocd thoughts. Is this normal?
Don’t worry this is very normal and expected to happen bc the recovery process isn’t linear. But even when you have moments where you take a few steps back, you’re still making progress! So don’t let this discourage you, keep fighting and doing ERP!
i am starting NOCD therapy on monday and was just curious on others’ experiences! what happens in your sessions, generally speaking? how do you feel during and after? i’m excited but also nervous to start. i’ve been in talk therapy for years with minimal improvement with my ocd, so im hopeful to start feeling better.
I’ve started ERP therapy with a really great therapist, and I haven’t gave into my compulsions but I still have anxiety and yesterday my brain was telling me that people were zombies😭 is this normal?
Does anyone else ever feel like they don’t feel “bad enough” to have OCD, or that they don’t feel “the right way” for it? Or like they’re just saying they have OCD as an excuse? Because i was so much better for like 3 weeks now and now im on my period and i started doubting again. So because of that im scared that i was feeling to good and that my fear is actually true.
