At its worst this did not seem possible for me, and ERP sounded far fetched. It took hard and consistent work, but mine is now about 85% managed. I really encourage checking out the community groups if you haven’t yet. I have found them extremely helpful.
That’s super encouraging, and amazing work!! That sounds really great. Where are the community groups?? Also Thank you for commenting
@teexik For me they are the first post in my feed. There is a button in the middle of the pic that says something like “join now” Then you can scroll thru and sign up. I encourage checking out different ones. I just said that I have realized that responding to others with compassion in those groups as really helped me with self compassion when dealing with similar struggles. The groups really have been a huge part of my progress..
@HappyTurtle Wow that’s actually so amazing to hear. Thank you heaps for letting me know, will definitely check them out. Glad you’re progressing :)
I want to be permanently free
That would be so amazing
Me too. I get thoughts all the time even when I’m half asleep. Keep practicing ERP. I’m also trying mindfulness. You will get through this and overcome!
I feel you! Thank you so much for the encouragement, you’ll get through it too :) I appreciate it
@teexik You’re so welcome! And thank you!
Do erp! Keep at it. Join the community groups here! There is a tab you have to scroll down in the app a bit but it’s a big square that says something about community groups. Join any and all that apply to you! I try to do at least one each day.
Thank you so much for commenting! I’ll definitely check it out now. I appreciate it :)
