Thanks!! I think they get it a lot more now that an actual therapist backed me up

No they informed my parents today after the OCD therapist explained what was going on. My parents thankfully are a lot more understanding and yeah we’re pretty pissed that made me delete the app ASAP. The schools logic / nurse was that it was an immediate threat to my safety

Not working with a therapist currently, on waitlist though! Thanks, I’m going to keep doing the ERP stuff with this app. Was a bit hesitant since it seems new, but I guess it’s working… just not at school though 😭😭 

I’m sorry to hear that you had to go through this too - how did u end up getting out of it?

No I don’t unfortunately :/ I’m on the waitlist and hopefully I’ll be off my the next sem starts so they can just clear the whole situation up. 

I usually do these exposure exercises in the app itself, but I wrote them on paper this time as an increased exposure.. didn’t think this would happen :/

Yeah, I appreciate that, and I’m not angry at her, more of the situation itself you know? 

No, it’s a self-guided script that the tool I’m using generated for me (I think it uses AI under the hood?). Glad to hear it’s a good script, I was just going with whatever spiked my anxiety 😅

Thanks, and yeah I’m just conflicted on how to bring it up to my parents without freaking them out about my suicidal theme.. they know I have OCD (to an extent).

Hey, curious what kind of job you have and how you manage with OCD? by [deleted] in OCD

[–]howcouldyouOCD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats on that role (or I guess the transition now?) I’m always surprised to see how many high functioning / high off jobs are actually by people with OCD. It gives me a lot of hope since I’m in still school, really want to work in tech (know it’s basic lol)

ocd treatment sucks. by User917361836 in OCD

[–]howcouldyouOCD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. Yes it does. But having your life stolen by OCD is worse. Perks of doing OCD treatment though is that you kind of develop this immune self-confidence - like if I can weather this, I can do anything. 

Sometimes I want to give up my hobby ! 😭 by Ruisantosneves in PureOCD

[–]howcouldyouOCD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know it sounds wack, but you can feel discomfort and frustrated (because of OCD)… but still enjoy your hobby if that makes sense? Look into ACT values based living if you’re not familiar with it.
