Today I completed one of the hardest exposures I’ve had to do in a long time! I still had a ton of thoughts and since this was a planned exposure I had a bit of anxiety beforehand (the medication helped a ton) but I got through it and leaned in! I want to remind everyone that ocd isn’t only intrusive thoughts, it can also be intrusive images, sensations, feelings etc., and as scary as they are you can conquer them with uncertainty! I understand it feels so scary accepting the fear but remember you’re not AGREEING or CONDONING it, all you’re saying is that thought is ok and you can continue on with your life. I’m also writing this as a reminder for myself. To keep going even when it feels like ocd is winning, it’s not, it just wants to make me feel that way. Have a good night everyone !! 💗🙌

@Cinnamongirl Well I used to now I’m pretty advanced in ERP so I do them alone. Sometimes in session we’ll do some YouTube videos or articles but rarely. She mostly gives me ideas for exposures and I’ll do them on my own.

@Cinnamongirl Well honestly I can’t give you exposures since they kinda are tailored to your specific thoughts and since I’m not a mental health professional I don’t think it would be correct. Also if you haven’t done planned exposures/ERP with a therapist I think that’s why you do compulsions maybe you’re not ready to do them alone and need a bit more guidance. If you need advice on ocd in general ocd & anxiety YouTube Channel by Nathan Peterson is great!

@Cinnamongirl Well I can say this: if you are going to do exposures alone , start slow. Go for videos that surround your fear (or one of them) and choose one that won’t make you anxious and slowly work your way up. This way you can start small because if you go for the hard ones you will certainly do compulsions
