Your dreams are the biggest ERP ever . How you respond to it determines everything. 😁

I understand , build on it . Like if you feel checking then and there tell yourself you will check half n hour later put a timer to it half n hour later ask yourself do I feel like checking? Just delay it that's all until you reach a point where you need not check at all.

@Anonymous Yeah it just sucks sometimes cuz my body just feels numb but I can’t see any thoughts in my head and then I do an exercise too see what thoughts are buried inside my head still cuz you would think if my mind is blank I could pay attention to what I’m doing but I can’t and it’s very annoying. I know I should be watching tv shows that expose my thoughts but it’s the weekend and I like watching football so it makes it harder to work on what I actually need work on.

@OCDhurts Key is to stop reacting to it . You giving it importance makes it worse and even surpressing it. Any sexual dream is bound to turn you on. I remember long back I had a dream where two men were doing it , I was turned on. In reality i am not turned on by guy on guy. So that's what

what do you mean by checking in dreams

@Anonymous Checking after you have your dreams

@Anonymous like mental reviewing?

@Anonymous Yes

Yes I just had a dream where I was making out with a girl , I am choosing to not react to it .

@Anonymous Good for you! I’m kind of glad that this happened to me today bc I shouldn’t seek reassurance anyway. So it backfiring is probably not the worst outcome!!

@wellwellwell Do not react bro at all . Just go on with your life believe me. It's key . For years I struggled with this , but now I get it .

@Anonymous That’s awesome! It’s started to affect my sex life, so that’s my biggest hurdle atm. I’m glad you’re doing well!

@wellwellwell Yes it's bound to screw with your libido , that happens. Tell your brain to bring it on , see where it goes . Eventually you will stop reacting to it .

@wellwellwell I do have my days but yes dealing with this I am getting better at it . Also I am bored with this now . Same thing like over and over again.

@Anonymous So true. Yeah last time I had sex it was horrendous because I was so sad and scared to be vulnerable. I hate ocd for doing this but it’ll get better

@wellwellwell Ofcourse it will and listen it's ok . It will get better. We have all kinds of dream , they don't determine shit .

@wellwellwell Until you want it to be so , otherwise half the people here would be acting on their dreams or urges.

@Anonymous Very true. Well good for you for facing things head on!! I hope to do that too

@wellwellwell You will 😁. No worries.

Write it down , always . Just don't check or Ruminate it wants you to do that.

@Anonymous should i write it down & read it as exposure?

@Anonymous Write it down , you need not read it . The more you write you will get an objective perspective.
