@hadas_lederer: Everything I learned in erp/ocd therapy (lol almost everything) also it’s like a few seconds over a minute #ocd #ocdawareness #MentalHealth #ocdproblems #erptherapy

Claireperk :

Somatic therapy fixed my ocd 95% in one session

s :

hey so I hate ERP 🩷 what else can I do?

FacelessMillennial :

Well, I don't wanna do any of THAT. 😭

Susanna 🐀 :

i think i'll be sick forever because i don't think im willing to put myself through erp

Kae :

the one singular convo that stuck with the most in therapy was my therapist saying, "did you predict how the last 5yrs of your life has gone? no. you never could have despite obsessing over every possibility. but did you figure it out and handle it? yes. just like you always do. trust yourself to handle it, because you will."

CARLY :

i keep having fears that it will never get better but seeing other people say there’s another side that’s beautful and stable is very reassuring! in erp therapy now 💓

🦋 𝕣𝕚𝕔𝕔𝕪 🍒 :

how do i do this when my ocd is mainly health related lol

Izzie :

.cmv05 :

This doesn’t make sense to me as someone with ocd, who has rumination and fear about may different things, not just one traumatic experience or even specific fear

Bedazzled_coochie :

“Accept uncertainty” how am I going to be prepared for the zombie apocalypse if I don’t think about it 24/7?

Cait Britt :

I didn't like any of this. I'm gonna scroll now.

flower_blooms4 :

Accepting uncertainty 😫 sooooo hard

kellyscoolthings :

BUT I NEEEED TO BE PREPARED FOR ANYTHING AHAHHA

WodMomWeightloss :

Erp is so painful I hate it but it works

Meghan McCarthy :

ERP was horrible but so worth it so I agree!

Midius :

6 months of OCD therapy in one comment: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Samuel W :

reassurance is the hardest one for me... also because my friends want to help by reassuring.

Rowan🌀 :

Guys ERP was hell on earth genuinely, but it ALSO gave me my life back. Never thought I’d ever be able to say it, but ocd no longer controls EVERYTHING in my life, and it’s not ruining my life anymore either

josefine<3 :

I saw a youtube video earlier: OCD is the doubting-disorder. It drives you to look for answers, but then wont accept any of it. The only thing capable of standing up to ocd is uncertainty. Observe the feeling, the thought. Think, oh thas an interesting thought or cool that my body can feel this way. I personaly now say to myself „maybe or maybe not“ and just CONTINUE with my life. Once you ubderstand you CANT outsmart ocd, you will recover. This way ive been doing imensively better. You can live a normal life once you understand how to deal with it and not to just ignore it.❤️ALSO consume videos about it, realise you arent alone and not crazy and you will feel so much better

michaela :

lost me at ERP thanks though!

courtney :

My whole life has been ERP now what

BuddyHollow🇵🇸 :

Accepting uncertainty stresses me out!! like what if it happens right after I choose to not stress over it😭

Sam <3 :

erp made it worse for me :( i CANT stop compolsions and reassurance. its ruining my life

marissamichellephoto :

As a therapist who treats OCD and does exposure therapy…it is VERY hard work but so effective!! The brain rewires through exposures and experiences 👆🏼

grrrrsch :

ERP is hard but living with OCD is WAY HARDER
