Exposure therapy!!! I recently started this with my psychologist & it's WILD how much it's helped already in such a short time. About a month.

We should have an official " Say no to OCD" day. ❤ How relaxing that would be. ❤

Today I went to visit an OCD specialist, I feel a bit hopeful for once

I'm feeling so depressed because I recently decided to break the cicle of compulsions. Its hard, it's like an abstinence period but I know I will be fine and feel better soon. Have been in therapy for 7 years now 😢

Successfully resisted one of my compulsions last night! Every small win counts!

The problem is energy deficiency. Yeah resisting a compulsion can be done, but it takes a lot of energy to resist, and giving in is a lot easier. And eventually you can run out of energy to resist. This happens a lot to me sadly.

I don't get it, I try to not give into compulsions and every time I do the anxiety doesn't end it just gets debilitating to where I'm almost crippled for days sometimes weeks til I start properly again... Like is continuing compulsions my only way to live?

Hi mr nate can you please explain that more in detail? my obsessions triggers by themselves it's about a game and i can't control them they tend to distract me what do i do?

As an adult I have most of my compulsive behaviors/habits under control until I have a spike in anxiety and go right back to the five year old that had to count everything I ate because odd numbers meant bad things would happen. 😅 Regardless I still do it with things like skittles where it has to be an even number of the same color each time, but its drastically better

My complusions are checking the internet and seeking help from my parents to do something.
Some intrusive thoughts are I am going to be homeless or a crazy person
But, I wouldn't believe that😂💀
