ERP feel risky for sure . My therapist told me something like “thoughts do not equal danger “ . Just let yourself feel guilty . Do not question why you feel guilty . Whatever thoughts come in , just let them happen . Do not answer back and do not try to make since of the thoughts . If you have ever been bullied , the best way to deal with that is to either stand up to the bully or walk away . You can’t productively reason with a bully

@Mk3 I have been in therapy for 1.5 years now. Mannnn when I tell you I feel better , that is an understatement. . Therapy has been amazing . But!! Things still come up that is disturbing. I just know how to deal with it better now. I just want you to know that things may come up but as you practice ERP , your reaction to OCD will be different. I suggest joining some support groups on this all along with your therapy.

@Mk3 It is weird because for me my “ahha moment “ was when I realized it’s not about getting rid of ocd . It’s kind of knowing that you can handle what ever ocd has to through at you. So I would say it’s not about being strong , it’s about being ok if you are weak one day , số so the next day and not sure the next day . It’s about being ok that I will not know What will happen Tommorow . There is post right now on this app that ask what are you looking forward for with spring coming up. That triggered my ocd ( not sure why really ). I wanted to bypass that post but I’m Like I actually should be reading that post as many times as possible and lean into not knowing what will happen in the spring. I have no clue and that is ok
