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.

I’m trying to do ERP therapy, but I keep thinking my subtype of ocd is the worst there ever is. I tried going on a walk tonight and the adrenaline in my body along with the shakes and the burning in my chest got so overwhelming. I felt like I was just about to lay down in the gutter along the sidewalk. I’m not trying to be super negative. I just don’t know what to do anymore. If it’s not one thing it’s another and I just wanna cry so bad and I want it to go away but it won’t I almost feel like I have to call a crisis line or something even right now while I’m writing this I’m crying so bad. I can’t enjoy a single thing. I joined a support group tonight, but I just feel like I feel so bad for everyone because of how awful it is. I know what I’m writing right now doesn’t make a lot of sense but I just don’t know what to do anymore. Part of me wants to quit ERP therapy so bad cause I don’t think it’s gonna ever help. if anyone has any advice or suggestions, that would be greatly appreciated.

I’m having one of those moments where I have to deal with some uncertainty at the worst time. I did have a little panic attack for a moment. Then I realized I could use this to make me stronger. Something happened at work and no one knows the answer I need. So I have to deal with some uncertainty. The feelings suck and the thoughts keep coming. I will not let this ruin my day I will continue to work and go about my day, even though I am anxious. Just remember that we will have things pop up throughout our days we do not expect but just to remember our practices. Hopefully the intensity will decrease in time today. Wish me luck.

Ero doesn't work. I don't understand why people always say use erp use erp. It doesn't work, ever. Sitting with anxiety doesn't work, nothing works. There is no dealing with ocd the only way to deal with it is rumination and getting reassurance. Erp doesn't work because it needs to work immediately. I dint have time to sit with anxiety and living with the thought I need the thoughts gone now. I'm a horrible person, I deserve nothing, I don't deserve friends, I'm awful horrible, I'm terrible. My ocd is right and I need to accept it. It never gets better. I will never recover
