@ERP is the way to be Right it’s like my brain is constantly finding things like i mentioned above to make erp feel MORE risky or MORE wrong. Ugh. Like if everyone experiences this then what the heck am I doing is what my brain is saying now basically ! Trying to continue no matter what and not figure it out. Let myself feel anxiety and scared

@ERP is the way to be Honestly I’m not really sure. Trying to not give myself relief! But reminding myself to do my exposure and coping statements is helpful. It gives me some relief knowing I am not to do anything at all. But it’s just terrifying and all that stuff I mentioned it gets hard and feels so risky to not do anything

@ERP is the way to be Yes I just have new things that always hit me each week and it’s never ending

@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.

@ERP is the way to be Yeah I’ve been in for a year and I think I just suck at doing my erp I need to be stronger

@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

@ERP is the way to be Yes I get that! I feel like for me I’m constantly being triggered or in convos with friends & am like what the heck thats what my ocd is about so what even is ocd if you feel guilty about that too!?!? Or im constantly feeling how real my feelings are & the erp feels so much riskier & wrong to do! But im sitting with that feeling of guilt and stuff. And continuing on even though it seems I have evidence I shouldn’t
