I also feel like I am a manipulative victim by saying that I am suicidal but without a plan and no intent! Is your therapist an OCD specialist? Talking to yourself and relaxing probably aren’t going to do much for OCD, you need to do erp

I think I remember her saying she’s been trained to work with ocd pacents. She told me about erp, but I have no idea how that works. She explained it and told me to find an erp thing to do. That honestly doesn’t feel right. It’s feels like a teacher telling the student to choose their homework. I feel like I need a structure first, like have her tell me exactly what erp thing I should do, so that I know what to practice instead of having me choose out of infinite options of erp things to do. Idk might just be overthinking how she works with me. I want to do erp, but idk what exactly to do. I could just be just hurting myself by not thinking of an erp thing to do or my therapist fails to give me a structure to work with. Idk, but thanks for commenting!

@•________• She doesn’t sound like an OCD specialist. You would probably really benefit from someone who is specialized, it makes a world of difference and someone not specifically for OCD can really mess you up, I know from personal experience. Erp isn’t difficult to understand but it helps if a therapist can specifically help you sometimes

@Justmesadly I want to get a specialist, but I don’t think there is one where I live, and I don’t think there is one that accept my insurance. It really sucks. I really hope if find one though.

@•________• For me the price isn’t any different from a non specialist therapist! But I guess it could depend on your country. If you can afford it then at least help yourself out by looking up how to do ERP there is a YouTube page for this app that super helpful with ocd questions and I’m sure there’s an ERP video
