I had a hard time with it . If you call NOCD they will show you how to use it. I know if you go to Exercise you will see something like make a change in the upper right hand corner. After you touch that it takes you to the list of your trigggers . Ther red is also a statement that says add a trigger. I have played with it a lot. It gets easer but is a challenge.Good luck. I would call NOCD. They are always supportive and will walk you through it.
Hey, thanks!
@christinejg94 All I have on my screen is more info or something like that on the upper right side. And I can’t find their phone number!
On my device I can change the excersises anytime. I go into the ERP hierarchies and add or delete old ones.
Weird, I wonder why I can’t! Can you explain how you do it? I’ve tried swiping them or double clicking but nothing.
I figured it out!
Great! I was about to explain in detail, but Im glad you figured it out. Being able to change the hierarchies and exercises whenever I need to is one of the best qualities of the app!
Does anyone fe el there OCD is worse due to COVID. Is it making it harder for you to work on your ocd? I am getting better at it but it depends on the trigger.Here is to to keeping on the fight with therapy, meds, ad Prayer. Wihishing everyone success in wining the fight against your OCD. God give the strength to win the war against our OCD.
For me it’s not so much COVID but me stopping my self care (exercise and good diet)
I have started eating better. In the beginning it was hard and I lost a lot of weight. I stared using ensure chocolate to fill in for what I did not eat. There are other nutritious drinks and protein bars as welll that may help you. Also, in the last 3 days I have been exercising about 1/2 hour a day. I think it will help with the stress. Wish I could walk out side but winter weather here does not make that possible. There are also free meditations on line too. I did one on google I liked. I am still fighting my ocd everyday but these things do help. I need to push myself. You can do this. We need to support each other. Believe me I have a long way to go and find the work with exposures very hard. Do a lot of crying. I am also taking medication. I also pray which is for me I don’t know how you feel about prayer. I am here for you if you want to share again.we need to get better For ourselves and those we love.
I know that when people say accept an intrusive thought when it comes but my thoughts are constant. They’re always there all the time and I don’t know how to ‘accept’ my mindset when it’s constant. I’m struggling to word this. I’m literally trying to figure it out every single minute of the day (I know that sounds exaggerated but it’s true). So do I go through my day like ‘okay yes maybe it’s true maybe it’s not’ all day long? I’ve only had this app for a few days and I haven’t used the plan feature yet because I’m scared and also because I don’t really know what to put in it.
Just kind of an ERP vent. Anyone wanna talk about this experience? It’s bumming me out. So I’ve been doing ERP exercises daily to help myself get over this theme. I started out with ERP towards the gender I have had intrusive thoughts about (men), and it helped knock out a lot of the intrusive stuff and false attractions, but working on my ERP towards women has been rather difficult. I’m still getting mental blocks. I’m trying to expose myself to them and get over false anxiety and other negative false emotions. It’s worked, but it feels like I’m stuck right now. Anyone else getting frustrated? I know ERP is a process, but it feels like it’s taking absolutely forever. Anyone wanna talk / vent about ERP frustrations?
I know there’s so much research out there on exercise for mental health, but has anyone here really tried and saw benefits ? I can’t find an exercise I enjoy usually just walking or yoga or jump rope. I don’t like the gym. It’s just hard to get started and motivated like have to force myself.. any tips on experience or getting started is appreciated
