It’ll get better over time but maybe you’re the type of person that you have to do ERP therapy constantly instead of once a month. I have to practice mindfulness every second of every day or else I’ll start slipping into anxiety and PTSD. It is what it is.

If you don’t mind, can you tell me more about how ptsd affects you and your ocd? I think I might be struggling with that and I’d like to hear more and tips on how to deal

@aimforthestars I only got better through trauma therapy with a trauma therapist and ERP with an OCD therapist. It just so happened my current therapist has been around so long and loves going to school that he does all threat I need. Rarely does that happen.

What would I do for ERP if my OCD says because I didn’t do something correctly or remember something I will have panic attacks that don’t end?

Anyone else feel like they just sit there during sessions? Like I can’t wait for it to be over so I don’t have to do this twice a week anymore. I think I’m putting in effort but sometimes feels like a huge waste of time and I’m not making progress but maybe that’s just my ocd?

My theme is suicidal OCD. I’ve been doing ERP since last year November and the overall intensity of my thoughts have not reduced at all. I have these thoughts 24/7 and my life feels like a living hell. Not two minutes goes by throughout the day where I’m not suffering from relentless thoughts. I don’t want to take meds because of the side effects and my insurance is coming to an end so it’d be difficult to ween off them by myself. I’m starting to feel so hopeless because I’ve done the toughest of the toughest exposures and I’m not getting better at all. My life is a living hell and I don’t see my condition with OCD getting better anytime sooner.
