I keep spiraling
I was doing slightly better for twenty minutes, and then I had a bad thought. I felt like I liked it for a few seconds before my stomach twisted and my heart dropped. This is too hard.

You are capable of conquering your OCD. It is not going to be easy in the beginning. Keep doing your ERP and working with your therapist. Don’t expect to be perfect at it. And, work on self-compassion and self care. Both will help you navigate the lows.

@MichelleV I’ll do my best to not expect perfection, I make that mistake a lot (ironically) thank you for the advice and encouragement 💕

feelings are not facts and thoughts are not threats. Don't let OCD distorted feelings make you doubt your truth. The anxiety is the proof its all OCD. keep going. even doing SLIGLTHY better is what some people on this app would kill for. In time, slightly turns into somewhat, and somewhat turns into sometimes and into half the time then into the most of the time and eventually all of the time.
