My last post
It’s been a few days but can anyone give me some feedback on my last post? It’s a vent about everything and I just want to know what everyone thinks. Should be able to find it on one of the tags that I have. Thank you

It didn’t seem like you were in therapy. I’d strongly suggest that though. Also in mental illness your judgement is always clouded. Your handling of the intrusive thoughts don’t seem healthy, regardless of the feelings they cause you to have. I wouldn’t attribute it to bad character though (like it seems you do) but rather just a symptom of the illness. Sry if I misunderstood your text, I’m not a native speaker.
@LoveMeAlone It’s ok and I had like 3 sessions with her but that was a month ago haven’t done a fourth session. It’s because I haven’t actually been doing anything to actually help myself I think. Idk. I appreciate your feedback though.
@Jay222 Hey! I'm so happy you have been going to therapy! Make that 4th appointment, you'll be glad. Not going can be a form of avoidance which will just strengthen your OCD symptoms. It doesn't matter if you haven't been doing anything. Tell your therapist. They can help you identify the blockers causing you to not do the therapy. It's common for people with OCD who are doing ERP therapy to procrastinate and then feel guilty and then not help themselves. I literally went to a support group here on NOCD yesterday called "self-compassion" and that's what the group leader said. So please take the step of making the appointment because you haven't done anything wrong or bad. You're dealing with the same disorder the rest of us our and we all do those things You're not alone.
@Mindilini I don’t think I’ve been “avoiding” that appointment, I had to get new credit card information I have to change on here that I haven’t had the energy of time to do cause I’m always working. Which is another reason as to why I can’t really make an appointment that easily. So no it’s not really “avoidance”. The only blockers that I know of is me being too lazy or not knowing how to do it properly. Along with ofc not feeling comfortable being around the things that I have those thoughts about.
Oh I understand! I'm sorry I misunderstood your original post. Funny enough, I also had a similar experience recently. I had some billing issues that prevented me from being able to get in right away. So I get that.
@Mindilini It’s ok. Thank you for your feedback
why doesn't anyone want to read my post and say something?
