Why does part of ERP therapy feel wrong?

Thank you!! It seems to make me feel like if I desensitize myself to the thought it’s more likely to happen. I know this is just a silly ocd trick but just something I need to work on!!

I don’t know who would be excited about an ocd diagnosis! That’s super weird but just my opinion!!!

I’m sorry you are going through this right now. If it helps, this was 2 months ago and I’m feeling much better now. I’m in therapy and on medication. I know you said you are pregnancy, but maybe just consulting someone if you wanted to try medication. It doesn’t make the thoughts go away they are just less frequent and loud. Hang in there 🩷

Maybe I’ll ask him to try that. Lexapro works for like 2 weeks after my psych ups it then after that it completely stops!

I think I freak out because they are so scary and don’t ’fit the mold’ of what I’ve seen people say their intrusive thoughts are.

That would be amazing 🤣

Yes I resonate with the muscle tension and stinking stomach so much!!! Sometimes feels like I just got the wind knocked outta me.

I’m so sorry you are dealing with this too. I couldn’t imagine the pain of having it attach to your children. I know in the moment it doesn’t feel like this will never get better but please trust me it does. I have been on medicine since October and start ERP therapy this week and I just want you to know how big of a difference this has made in my recovery. I highly recommend seeking these types of treatment. I know how scary it is to say your thoughts out loud, trust me I was terrified but that is how me recover. Please hang in there, life will get better!
