I’m going through this too, it’s so difficult, awful and scary. I’m seeing you say “it makes me feel” and “I feel like” - one thing I try doing is saying that OCD can’t MAKE ME do or feel anything. It can try, but I will overcome it by letting the thoughts/feelings know that I’ll be okay if it ends, but there’s no reason for it to end right now. Are you in ERP?
Sorta but I haven’t fully done it no
@Anonymous I’ve been doing it for a week and although I’m having a rough day, I can tell you it works. When I practice ERP daily, I notice I have moments of clarity. I had a moment with him on Sunday where I actually allowed myself to feel the love between us- it was magical. I’m fighting for that because I deserve it, and he deserves it. You deserve it too ❤️
@LizLemon Idk if this is considered erp but I’ve been ig forcing myself to experiment e My triggers like listening to love music or other things Ik trigger me and now they don’t trigger me as bad
@Anonymous It’s ERP if you expose those triggers and prevent a response (compulsion) to them. I would target the feelings/thoughts you have when you’re with your partner as well and practice ERP when you’re alone so that you reduce those compulsions. It’s hard work
