So my ocd has been low lately and I haven't been doing planned scripts or exposures but I have been doing anything that comes up in the moment and not doing compulsions. I've asked around and the consensus was that I should also still be doing planned scripts/exposures. So this morning I did a script. Since then I've had super strong thoughts along with a surge of fear...and feeling like I'm going to lose control... just have to wonder if it is because I did a script this morning... anyone with a similar experience??

Yes. You know what it feels like to behave normally, you were just doing it. You purposely exposed yourself to troubling thoughts. And you reacted, as planned. Now accept it, allow the thoughts to pass, and go back to behaving as you were. You will be stronger for it. Good job.

Yes this happened to me too. But we need to sit through this and do this because if we don’t have these thoughts now, they ar personably going to come up later.
