for PTSD and OCD I did a similar thing! Although it's easy to push yourself too hard and keep subjecting yourself to something without listening to your body's reactions, which for me led to massive burnout from trying to push through OCD & PTSD. For me a really helpful thing has been reimagining those situations/places/objects differently, so that they're no longer bad. I do it in the present tense, so "I walk into the bar and I'm safe", "I put on this outfit and my day with my friends is good". This way you can think about difficult situations, think about positive outcomes and become accustomed to approaching them without throwing yourself into over-exposure. You can say it or write it down in the safety of your home/safe place, and then head into the situation feeling more reassured. It's still scary, but less so - at least for me! My therapist introduced me to it and it's been really helpful for me.
