I believe it means something like... There are many paths in life but people with ocd tend to take the same one, whether it's good or bad and go around in circles. We do this because we are scared something will happen if we don't take this path even if we've taken it a million times before. People who don't have ocd are able to take other paths with less fear. The path I'm talking about are compulsions, and all of them together are neuropathways. We tend to take the same one which is our fight, flight or freeze response. It's a brain glitch and the way you undo it is to be brave enough to step into the unknown and take new paths. Erp is designed to help you do this

@Wolfram This helped me understand so much !! And I figured so. Giving into OCD made me reflect on all the months I lost my life to this disorder and how much of it id like to regain back using therapy.

Hi! I would like to know as well, I wonder if it has to do with cutting people out your life or not being able to relate. If someone knows explain please 💕

@MIOK1102 Would still choose it over OCD any day you do know how hard it is my ocd is really severe to the point where I can’t function it sucks always being the mentaly insane one and to always be the angry one while everyone else is happy It also sucks in Uni to see yourself getting the same grades at some who is not trying but because of how bad your OCD is you can’t get the same grades Treatments have all failed for me You have both but if I had to choose I would rather have diabetes Than the menace and cancer that is ocd I had lots of white hair at age 17 it was so much stress

I personally believe it means that your obsessions become too overwhelming to the point where you feel trapped inside of them. Like your world is slowly crushing you into your OCD. This disorder sucks, but we could always get through it. It’s just really tough

Does it mean that you’re avoiding things and doing things you love because of it. Which makes your life smaller
