What time should I do ERP? Do y’all do it first thing in the morning to get it over with or leave it for later . I was thinking morning but then am I ruining my day?

you don’t have to do it only once!! with pure ocd you can do it everytime you get a thought. sarcasticallt agreeing/mocking the thoughts is erp!! everytime you get a worry/ thought try to sarcastically agree and slowly it will seem less real and less scary to you because you’ll take the thoughts less seriously and see them as silly. glad to see you trying to get better!

I prefer to do it later in the day if I’m doing it with my therapist. This is because sometimes the exposures are a little intense for me, and this way if I have to deal with feeling any anxiety I do it then. But I also like doing it as the first thing some days as a way to get it over with.
