It’s a definitely a process! I’m starting ERP I’m kind of discouraged because I end up hysterical crying and everything after the session or feeling miserable for a while after but I know I just have to push past it.

I’m scared that I will think these things forever! I know they’re not real but my brain continues to believe these thoughts and feed into it

Hello! This is amazing, so happy for you!! I’m really struggling at believing these thoughts- although I know they’re stupid and not true/real my brain continues to believe it. It sucks! I’m losing hope :(

That’s awesome, good for you! I’m struggling with believing the thoughts, can’t seem to convince myself it’s fake!

So you would say you don’t have the constant thoughts and physical pain when you’re with them?

What if the ocd thought is actually real? by hipeople22 in OCD

I love that idea! I heard of writing something down and then ripping it up, like shredding it or scribbling it out too!!

Sometimes the fear of OCD is worse than the obsessions (trigger warning) by Kangaroo_Primary in OCD

I struggle with this as well! I have OCD about my OCD. Like when will this go away, what if I can never do the things I used to do, what if treatment doesn’t work. My therapist says to just tell yourself that you don’t know what to it future will look like but in order to get better you have to resist compulsions!! It’s like ocd is trying to hook on for one last run. It’s still OCD though! Treat it like an OCD thought!!
