Maybe you aren't, maybe you are impeding progress. I'd want you to stay here and see the program through though! People want to support you when they can :) Im having a miserable time of it with ocd too :( it's hard I know.

I try to find hopeful and positive things to say while I'm on here because I know how difficult this can be and I want to inspire others. That said...I had kind of an awful day yesterday. I feel exhausted right now, and there are plenty of times when I feel downright hopeless. Whatever you decide is up to you - I just hope you know that you're not alone in this, and that we got your back.

You’re not impeding us. And honestly, when I leave someone a positivity comment, I’m really just giving other people the advice I need to give myself. It’s not about hope or being positive. It’s about hating this disease so damn much and wanting your life back so badly that you are willing to do anything.

Finding this app has helped me a lot in feeling like I'm not isolated and I've definitely met so many kind and helpful people here. You guys have helped me on my darkest days. However, because of my fragile state of mind, I think scrolling on here is becoming a compulsion and I feel like I end up triggering myself more by scrolling through some posts. I think it just ends up adding more to my intrusive thoughts and more ammo for my false memories and POCD to latch on to. And I know exposures are good for treating OCD, but this level of exposure seems to be doing more harm than good. So I will try to be less active (maybe I won't, who knows lol).

My ROCD is at an all time high right now. I have an appointment set up, but the wait is awful. My husband found one of my erp exercises where I write a sentence about him maybe not being the right partner. I had forgotten to throw it away. Of course it made him sad. I feel so ashamed and like I've damaged our relationship beyond repair. The sad part is, the thought comes,"if he ends it, at least I might get some relief". I feel like the worst wife.

I’m thinking about doing erp but my ocd is so severe the thought of accepting my fears happening to me makes me sick to my stomach. I also believe in the power of my words and saying I accept this Bad thing will attract it into my life. I’m not sure what I should do🥲
