Happy Sunday

@Anonymous I find that in the beginning, using statements helps a lot to seperate yourself from OCD but I think lasting recovery comes from a place where you don’t even need to engage!

@OneDayAtATime Those were my thoughts. I heard a ocd psychologist who brought this up , he’s from the UK and he said that he believes that ocd requires no response at all, like nothing at all

@Anonymous Same, I have been trying it! It really gets blown out of proportion because of how “real” it feels

@OneDayAtATime So even as an alumni, you still struggle? I thought once you do erp you’ll be good

@OneDayAtATime So you still struggle even though you’ve had erp therapy ?

@Anonymous It is a long process, I have made my mistakes. But ERP is the best solution, u need exposure that is tbe only way to beat it. Expose urself to ur greatest fears and u will be feee

@OneDayAtATime I’ve been doing it for over a year but not consistently

@Catlove9 Do nothing! Recognize that it will suck but it won’t kill you and that doing nothing will bring you lasting recovery! You can do it, its not impossible it will seem that way hut you must lean into the unknown and take a leap!

@OneDayAtATime Someone who has gone through extensive OCD therapy!

@OneDayAtATime Even when it feels like you want the bad thing 😭?

@Catlove9 Do nothing!

@OneDayAtATime It’s so so so so hard.

@Catlove9 Your right! And it is supposed to be! But focus on not being perfect but improving everytime, it will take so so long but is worth it

@OneDayAtATime Thank you!
