You didn't fail. You hit a bump in the road, use it to your advantage by pushing threw and keeping up the good fight. Everytime I felt like I "failed" I had to realize it was just a learning experience to know how to better handle it for if and when i "failed" again. It gets easier. Don't give up!

I'm really sorry to hear that you're going through this tough moment after making progress for a few days. The disappointment you're feeling is completely understandable, and it just shows how strong and aware you are for recognizing the cycle and fighting through it. Remember, setbacks are a natural part of the journey towards managing OCD. 🌱 I recently found something that has been quite a game-changer for me and might be for you as well. It's this AI OCD therapy tool called "unstuck" which you can check out here: unstuckmyocd.com/try. I heard about it from my OCD support group and genuinely wish I had known about it sooner. Given your current struggles, it'll be especially helpful for you because it provides personalized step-by-step support that mimics an OCD therapist, making it a valuable tool when those compulsions hit. If you have any questions about "unstuck" or if you just need someone to talk to, I'm here for you. 👋

I dont know how to go back
A month ago I was feeling so good, i was im a recovery journey, i had some bad days but then i was able to see it as a good thing. Now for 2 weeks now im on a setback and its worse day by day, now i cant even escape from my mind, i was able to see through all of this, and now this is the complete inverse of that... I cant even go back to see what i did so i do the same again to feel better but my I keep thinking that i just think i kept getting better, i was blinded by the good feelings, actually i was still obsessive, and i cant do the same things again cause it will not help... i feel alot of shame cause how I was felt so good for weeks and see through ocd and now i believe everything my mind says and i react to every thought...thats why i think i wasnt even on a good path, then i wouldnt be here. Im tired of always go back to the starting point...

Back at square one.
The compulsions are just terrible. I don’t want to do them but some are so automatic and I need the relief so badly. I try to hold them off, and I stopped ERP but I think I should restart it.

ERP
Recently started ERP and first I was very optimistic and hopeful about my decision and I was managing yk being exposed to my thoughts and fears during session but now my compulsions are super super bad I feel like I’m almost like a failure and that I’m never gonna be able to get better because I am doing my homework but it’s just so difficult cause I am trying so hard to resist a compulsion but today it was just so so difficult my compulsions went out of control
