I just wanna share my little success! Some background: I've had almost every ocd theme at one time or another. The most recent one was pocd. Every damn day, without fail, for MONTHS, my brain has said at some point during the day: "Psst. Hey. What if you're a pedophile?" And every day I practiced my ERP and didn't engage with the thought and just said something like "Oh go away, OCD, you're so silly." It was discouraging that the thought kept popping up day after day but I kept trying to just kinda laugh at it and go on with my day. Then today I just noticed that I haven't really had those thoughts for a few days!!!! And when I do, they're so easy to push away instantly. Please stick with ERP! IT WILL WORK. I can't say the thoughts are gone forever but they're definitely a lot less scary now and I can just ignore them
