You can do it! I don’t know your age but I lived with pretty consuming OCD for 33 years! It takes time but you can begin the journey and see where it leads you. The Number one thing to remember is that your thoughts do not control the world around you, therefore they are not the true reality. So trying ERP with the mindset that although you are afraid, doing the activities and sticking with them will have a great affect on you.

We can do it ? I agree with what was said previously about starting with the lowest fears and slowly working your way up. My best suggestion is to take mental breaks/stop and breathe when you’re told to by a therapist or a schedule if you’re doing your treatment yourself. For the longest time, I tried to knock out a bunch of exposure (too much) at once and I’d end up burnt out at the end. That’s just counterproductive, so point being, be patient with yourself.

You just have to jump right in and start with your lowest fear(s) and work up from there.

Does anyone have any tips that helped them? Mine is due to a specific person and I work with them so it’s been really difficult. I’ve started ERP which has been reaaalllllly challenging and I would love to hear from anyone else that has gone through any type of contamination ocd and how they have overcome or are fighting their way through it. Thank you!l

First ERP session- TIPS??
A few hours ago I had my first ERP session and I am currently feeling nauseous and nervous at the same time. Right after my first exposure I wanted to quit right then and there, but I know I cannot. Does anyone have any tips for sitting with this level of discomfort? Anything is appreciated. Thanks! :-)

any tips on how to get rid of terrible thoughts?
hi im a fifteen year old girl with really bad ocd and emetaphobia nobody knows my fear except for my best friend and my sister. its so hard to even say the word or even type the word so i just say “sick” even typing this out makes my heart race and my hands sweaty. ive been really struggling with ocd for almost a year its gotten worst about every month. its always on my mind. i have a therapist but i cant even tell them about my anxiety and thoughts that go on in my head. my whole family is watching me fall deeper and deeper into this dark whole that i dont know how to get out of. its feels awful to see everyone around you watch you fail over and over again. please forgive me if this was graphic thank you
