Really bad flare up at work
How do y’all keep going? Especially when there’s work to do

Focus on your work and let the thoughts play in the background—as you should be doing anyways because that is self ERP. The more you focus n your OCD and give into it, the worse it gets. So, practice mindfulness and when you catch yourself drifting off with your thoughts and feelings, compassionately bring yourself back to the present.

@Nica Thank you so much, this helped me a lot. I tried to sideline the feelings as much as possible, which may have been avoidance but it at least got me through my shift. I will have to do some more research on how to be mindful. Thanks again. ♥️

Here with you on this. Trying to stay focused on work has been a struggle today because I had a flare up in the morning at home. Talking to my coworkers and taking more little breaks than usual has helped

@Cr1 I’m sorry to hear that. :( Mine started at work and it has been a disaster so far. Will definitely be taking as many “bathroom” breaks as possible just so I can breathe 😭 Take care!! ♥️

@Cr1 Unfortunately I work alone in my department so I typically don’t have coworkers close by, but I hope I can make friends soon

Struggling
One of the hardest parts of my day is seeing all the people around me doing all the things I can’t with ease. I hope they know how lucky they are.

ERP is tough but we can do this 💪🏼
Just finished crying after an erp session. This is so hard. I just can’t stop crying 😣! But I will get through it and so can you with anything else
