Is it weird I been thinking about my therapist every single day waiting till my next session just for me to be able to Vent and express myself . I be feeling weird I think of her because I wanna talk to her .. I donāt really got anybody to talk too but if I do they maybe listening but they not understanding me ā¦ Is it weird me not feeling understood makes me feel lonely .
No that totally makes sense š sometimes you can just tell when people just listen and not process or add to the conversationā¦ and its understandable that you want to talk to your therapist often because with OCD our brains are constantly ššš LOUD.
It's not weird at all. Sometimes, talking helps, but it's tough when the other person doesn't grasp what you're sayingāit's like speaking a different language. So, when you find someone who truly understands, especially when dealing with mental health issues, it's like your feelings are validated. Their comprehension can make you feel truly seen and heard amidst the chaos.
Hi everyone. I'm feeling kinda scared because I have to wait a whole month to start ERP therapy, but I feel like I need to start doing exposures now because the longer I wait, the more anxiety I get. It just feels like the OCD monster is getting worse. One thing that helps me is asking one person about an obsession I have...asking a person that I trust, and then doing an exposure after I get the "ok" to do it. I feel like I do need 1 reassurance and then I can go ahead and do it. I know i'm not supposed to ask for reassurance at all, but i dont think you're supposed to do ERP on your own right? Does anyone have any suggestions for what to do while waiting for therapy? PS-the reason there is a wait is bc she's on vacation. After she's back we will meet regularly.
Iāve started ERP therapy with a really great therapist, and I havenāt gave into my compulsions but I still have anxiety and yesterday my brain was telling me that people were zombiesš is this normal?
I understand trying to find comfort in your thoughts but what can i do if i canāt keep these thoughts to myself sometimes?
