I am feeling so discouraged. I felt like my ocd was gone and now it is back. I felt like I had my life back. This is so frustrating. I’m doing ERP but it’s hard for me to get back on track. Can someone provide me with some motivation?

I had this same thing happen. Something stressful happened and I went off my meds and it put me back at square one. However I want recovery so bad that I’m willing to do anything. I don’t care if I’m actually a piece of shit and might be horrible and I’ll never know- I am not doing compulsions anymore because I value myself too much. Be willing to do anything to get your life back.

You can do this. You’ve beat it before. This is temporary, a blip in the grand scheme of things. Trust the process and know that you’ve done it before!

It feels good to know I’m not the only one

ERP

I’m starting NOCD. I had several years of cbt as a child (well over 20 years ago) and I see a trauma therapist. But now I’ll be seeking further help for OCD and just really scared. CBT wasn’t helpful for me. How has ERP been helpful for you? Do you feel like you’ll finally get your life back? I’m consumed by my obsessions 😢 Would love others feedback if ERP helped you ❤️

OCD in the morning

Each night I go to bed determined to stop compulsions and start beating this disorder. Then I wake up and it smacks me in the face first thing and I’m doing a compulsion before I know it. I told my therapist that I would try to handle it like we do in session, but I’ve already failed. It seems like I can’t bring ERP into my “real” life.

Encouragement please

I have had suicidal OCD for over a year now. I just am struggling to fight it tonight. I just have an enormous amount of self doubt and I can’t stop wondering if I’ll ever make it through this or not. My life is great but I just feel miserable every day. Any encouragement helps. Thanks
