Could anyone help me out? I’m feeling super discouraged right now and could use some encouraging words. My compulsions are extremely hard to resist because OCD tells me it’s 100% logical to do them and my obsessions are 100% true. I’m resisting as much as I can, but I feel horrible when I don’t do what I think is the right thing to do (I have moral OCD and obeying my parents is super important to me). From resisting these things I end up feeling horrible all day. Due to physical health issues at first and now OCD, I haven’t been able to live a normal life in 2.5 years. I don’t know for sure if I’m depressed, but due to being unable to live my amazing life for so long and watching my peers pass me by, I get really sad really easily. OCD makes me unable to enjoy anything and the mental torment and guilt and panic is SO bad! You know how it is. 😭 Due to all of this AND the discomfort of resisting compulsions, most days I end up feeling really terrible. At the end of the day I feel like crying because I could barely enjoy anything, and I dread waking up the next day. Sometimes I do see progress and I enjoy life more, but it’s not consistent, and right now I’m going through a backdoor spike. 😔 I don’t want to have a victim mentality. I WILL fight to get my life back. But it’s so hard to resist compulsions and aim to get better when my brain is screaming at me “NO! YOU HAVE TO DO THIS, IT’S THE RIGHT THING TO DO AND YOU’RE NOT *SUPPOSED* TO DO ERP FOR THIS! It’s right to be concerned about this!” I really could use some general encouragement if anybody has any! Any general encouragement on resisting compulsions? Or when it’s going to get better? I’m just so discouraged. I know I can’t get better until I do ERP, but my logic says not to do ERP, and I feel trapped!
