I’ve started ERP therapy with a really great therapist, and I haven’t gave into my compulsions but I still have anxiety and yesterday my brain was telling me that people were zombies😭 is this normal?

healing takes time, some days we may feel more anxious than any other day. it doesn't mean we are failing, This is just part of the way :)
Do you know that saying two steps forward one step back? It's definitely a thing. Watched my very young daughter go through this therapy over a year now and the progress is amazing but I can tell you there were very dark times and it wasn't always easy. Our brains are telling us a million things per second. Sometimes we get stuck on a random item that doesn't mean anything at all. Anxiety seems to be a part of this process. Your brain is learning how to live all over again and it's a pretty uncomfortable path to wellness. You can feel better though, I promise. I had doubts in the past but then I was proven wrong. You can do it, I believe in you.
When i started therapy in October, I thought my OCD would never get better. When my physicatrist told me last February I had OCD I resigned myself to it and then embarked on some of the worst months ever for my OCD. By the time i got here I didn’t have much hope. Now I’ve actually learned to deal with my OCD and for the first time in my life moving through the world isn’t a constant painful thing. Give it some time, it gets better i promise
Yep, normal. OCD does this type of stuff
