Guest Azamour Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 I am becoming addicted to ERP. I want this **** to feel better and I know the only way of doing it is to go through the pain and embrace the ERP. Faster I do it the quicker I will feel better. I divide my time into three things at the moment: 1. ERP - which is generally going out in public and meeting people. 2. Exercise - Gotta keep fit. Good for the esteem which helps with fighting this. 3. Meditation - Starting to get a little deeper into this. The whole message here is YOU ARE NOT YOUR THOUGHTS. My yogi explained to me about thoughts, feelings and physical sensations. If you differentiate these you get lots of strength to fight Pure O. If it makes you feel good, you like it. It makes you feel bad, you don't. Last night I realised I always think about work when meditating. Then I realised. I am not my job. I just need to apply this to the OCD. Link to comment

Guest Azamour Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 I try to do an hour in the gym each day or probably 5 hours per week. Think I might start martial arts. That worked well for me before. Link to comment

Guest OCDAY Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Did ERP, CBT initialy as was a checker - 100% success :original: Unfortunatly due to hospitazion for a different issue, OCD came back as extreme pureO. Currently doing ERP, 3rd wave CBT, TAF etc I so agree excersive helps!!! My problem is stamina......My max in the gym is 20 mins. I am the ideal weight for my height so thats not the problem.
