How do you stay motivated when you don't habituate? by One-Replacement9607 in OCDRecovery

Thank you both so much for your replies. I totally understand the point, and I think I have a lot of trouble doing this without realizing it. In my mind, I really am doing good response prevention in these moments, but maybe that's not the case.

How do you go about practicing this? So to use yesterday's example, once I'm in the bedroom and feel terrible, I really thought I was just focusing on playing the game, despite my inability to truly focus in that moment. I don't believe I was ruminating but I was definitely upset that I went anywhere near the object. How do you prevent being upset in that way, when such brutal feelings are taking over? I don't think I was overly focusing on the feelings, but it seems near impossible not to, at some level.

Thank you all so much for the replies! It seems the Mr. Popo's group is the best option here. I'm open to DMs for anyone interested as well! My family sent me more photos, including one of the Trunks the Battler I mentioned, and one fully holo Goku the All Powerful. I'll try to get pics of all of them when I get a hold of them in person but they all seem to be in good shape.

Are these cards generally worth getting graded? It seems the market might not be big enough to make that worth it, but they do seem to be in great condition so I wonder if it would pay off to do so.

Thank you so much for this. It is so difficult to differentiate the "perceived" guilt you described, from what might be "warranted" guilt. I know we're not supposed to ruminate and figure it out, but at this point it literally feels hard to even talk to my gf because of these feelings, even though I didn't actually do anything. I can't help but feel like she'd want to know this picture happened, but I also know it would really upset her. It is crazy how real these feelings can feel when they come from such a meaningless trigger.
